How to mix peptides with bac water

Quick answer

Draw your chosen volume of bacteriostatic water into a syringe, insert the needle into the peptide vial at an angle, and let the water run slowly down the inside wall of the vial rather than blasting directly onto the powder. Swirl gently — do not shake — until fully dissolved, then store cold. The volume of water you add sets the concentration.

The peptide ships as a freeze-dried (lyophilized) powder for stability. "Reconstituting" simply means dissolving it into a liquid of known concentration so it can be measured.

Add the water slowly and swirl rather than shake — peptides are fragile and vigorous agitation can damage them. Once dissolved, the reconstituted vial should be refrigerated and used within the shorter of the peptide's and the bac water's shelf life.
