Step 1 – Gather Supplies

You will need:

• • The peptide vial (lyophilized powder)

  • Bacteriostatic water (or sterile water)

  • An alcohol swab

  • A sterile syringe and needle

Step 2 – Clean and Prepare

• • Wipe the peptide vial and the bacteriostatic water vial tops with an alcohol swab.

  • Use a new, sterile syringe for each step to avoid contamination.

Step 3 – Draw the Water

• • Draw the desired amount of bacteriostatic water into your syringe.

  • The amount depends on the concentration you want (e.g., 1–5 ml is typical).

Step 4 – Add the Water to the Peptide (Most Important)

• • Slowly inject the water into the vial, letting it slide down the inside wall of the glass.

  • Do NOT inject the water directly onto the peptide powder. The peptide molecules are fragile and can be damaged during reconstitution if hit with a strong stream of liquid.

  • Instead, let the water gently mix with the powder, then swirl or roll the vial gently and slowly until fully dissolved.

Step 5 – Storage

• • Store the reconstituted peptide in the refrigerator (2–8°C / 36–46°F).

  • Use within the recommended time frame (usually 30 days, depending on the peptide).

     

     

In short: handle peptides gently when reconstituting—they are delicate molecules, and proper technique ensures maximum stability and effectiveness.
