Peptide Reconstitution Guide

General instructions for reconstituting lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides.

Supplies Needed

  • Lyophilized peptide vial
  • Bacteriostatic water (BAC water)
  • Alcohol prep pads
  • Sterile syringe and needle
  • Refrigeration (after mixing)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Wash your hands thoroughly.

2

Clean the tops of both vials with alcohol pads.

3

Draw the desired amount of BAC water into the syringe.

4

Slowly inject the BAC water down the inside wall of the peptide vial.

Avoid spraying directly onto the powder.

5

Gently swirl the vial until fully dissolved.

Do not shake aggressively.

6

Refrigerate after reconstitution.

Most peptides are stored at 36–46°F (2–8°C).

Important Notes

  • Use sterile technique at all times.
  • Most reconstituted peptides should be used within 30–60 days when refrigerated.
  • Never freeze after reconstitution unless specifically recommended.
  • Discard if solution becomes cloudy or discolored.
