Peptide Reconstitution Guide

⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS ⚠️

Required Supplies

Step-by-Step Reconstitution Process

Step 1:

Prepare Your Workspace

Clean and disinfect your work area. Put on gloves and ensure all supplies are within reach. Remove peptide vial from refrigerator and allow to reach room temperature (about 10-15 minutes).

Step 2:

Calculate Reconstitution Volume

Determine how much bacteriostatic water to add based on your desired concentration. Common ratios:

Example Calculation

If you have 5mg of peptide and want 1mg/mL concentration:

5mg ÷ 1mg/mL = 5mL of bacteriostatic water needed

Final result: 5mL solution at 1mg/mL concentration

Step 3:

Prepare the Syringe

Attach needle to syringe. Draw the calculated amount of bacteriostatic water into the syringe. Remove any air bubbles by gently tapping the syringe and pushing the plunger slightly.

Step 4:

Clean the Vial

Wipe the rubber stopper of the peptide vial with an alcohol swab. Allow to air dry for 10-15 seconds.

Step 5:

Add Water to Peptide

CRITICAL: Insert needle into vial at a 45-degree angle. Slowly inject water down the side of the vial, NOT directly onto the powder. This prevents foaming and protein degradation.

Pro Tip: Add water very slowly - take 30-60 seconds to inject all the water. Fast injection can damage the peptide structure.
Step 6:

Mix Gently

DO NOT shake the vial. Instead, gently swirl or roll the vial between your palms. The peptide should dissolve completely within 1-2 minutes. If cloudiness persists, continue gentle swirling.

Step 7:

Inspect the Solution

The final solution should be clear and colorless. If you see:

Step 8:

Label and Store

Label the vial with:

Store in refrigerator immediately at 2-8°C.

Storage Guidelines

Before Reconstitution

Store lyophilized peptides in freezer (-20°C) or refrigerator (2-8°C) depending on manufacturer instructions. Protect from light and moisture.

After Reconstitution

Store in refrigerator at 2-8°C. Most peptides remain stable for 14-30 days when properly stored. Never freeze reconstituted peptides.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When to Discard

Discard reconstituted peptide if you notice:

Troubleshooting

Peptide Won't Dissolve

Try gently warming the vial in your hands or adding slightly more bacteriostatic water. Some peptides may take longer to dissolve.

Cloudy Solution

Continue gentle swirling. If cloudiness persists after 5 minutes, the peptide may be degraded or contaminated.

Foaming

Indicates too rapid injection. Let foam settle and avoid agitation. For future reconstitutions, inject more slowly.

Remember: When in doubt, discard the peptide. Your safety and the integrity of your research are more important than saving a vial.
