Peptide Reconstitution
Step 1: Draw BAC Water
-
Pull air into syringe equal to desired BAC volume.
-
Inject air into BAC vial.
-
Invert vial and slowly draw water.
Step 2: Add Water to Peptide
-
Insert needle into peptide vial.
-
Aim the stream against the glass wall, not directly onto powder.
-
Inject slowly.
⚠️ Do NOT shake.
Step 3: Dissolve Gently
-
Gently swirl or roll vial between fingers.
-
Powder should dissolve within 1–2 minutes.
-
Solution should become clear.
If cloudy or foamy → let it rest and gently swirl again.
❄️ Storage
-
Store reconstituted peptides at 2–8°C (refrigerator)
-
Keep away from light
-
Do not freeze unless manufacturer states it’s acceptable
Typical shelf life after reconstitution: 2–4 weeks (varies by peptide)
⚠️ Safety Tips
-
Use new sterile syringe each draw.
-
Never reuse needles or pipette.
-
Discard if solution becomes cloudy, colored, or contains particles.
-
Avoid touching needle or vial stopper.
🚩 Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
Shaking the vial
-
Using tap or distilled water instead of BAC water
-
Forgetting to label
-
Guessing doses instead of calculating
