Reconstitution turns a lyophilised peptide into a workable solution. Done with clean technique, it preserves purity and gives you a known concentration.

What you need

The lyophilised vial, bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol), an alcohol swab and a sterile syringe.

Method

Swab both stoppers. Draw your chosen volume of bacteriostatic water and add it slowly down the vial wall — do not spray directly onto the peptide. Let it dissolve without shaking; swirl gently if needed.

Concentration basics

Concentration = peptide mass ÷ water volume. For example, 10 mg in 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL. Add more water for a lower concentration, less for a higher one.

After mixing

Refrigerate the reconstituted vial and use sterile technique for each draw. Need diluent? See bacteriostatic water.
