Frequently Asked Questions

What is peptide reconstitution?

Reconstitution is the process of mixing a lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide powder with bacteriostatic water to create an injectable solution. The peptide vial contains a dry powder that must be dissolved before use in research.

How much bacteriostatic water should I add?

The amount of bacteriostatic water depends on your desired concentration. Adding 1ml to a 10mg vial gives 10mg/ml concentration. Adding 2ml gives 5mg/ml. Less water means higher concentration and smaller injection volumes. Most researchers use 1-2ml.

What is a unit on an insulin syringe?

One unit on a standard U-100 insulin syringe equals 0.01ml. A full 100-unit syringe holds exactly 1ml. So drawing 10 units means drawing 0.10ml of solution.

How do I calculate my dose?

Divide your desired dose by the concentration. Concentration equals the vial size divided by the amount of water added. For example: 10mg vial + 1ml water = 10mg/ml. To get a 1mg dose, draw 0.1ml (10 units).
