How to reconstitute
- 01Clean the vial topWipe the rubber stopper of the peptide vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with a fresh alcohol swab. Let dry for a few seconds.
- 02Draw the calculated volume of bacteriostatic waterUsing a 3 mL syringe (or appropriate size), draw 5 mL of bacteriostatic water.
- 03Inject slowly onto the vial wallAngle the needle so the water runs gently down the inside of the vial — not directly onto the lyophilised peptide pellet. This avoids denaturing the peptide.
- 04Swirl, don't shakeGently roll or swirl the vial between your palms until the powder is fully dissolved. Shaking creates foam and can damage fragile peptides.
- 05Store reconstituted vial in the fridgeRefrigerate at 2–8 °C. Most peptides remain stable for 2–4 weeks once reconstituted. Always check the specific peptide's stability profile.
- 06Draw your doseWith an insulin syringe, draw to the 10 IU mark for your 100 mcg dose.
