Peptides AcademyHow to Reconstitute a Lyophilized Peptide
Reconstitution is the process of dissolving a lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide powder in sterile bacteriostatic water (BAC) for injectable use. Done carefully, it preserves peptide integrity; done roughly, it can degrade the product.
How It Works
1) Allow both the peptide vial and BAC water to reach room temperature. 2) Wipe both rubber stoppers with alcohol. 3) Draw the desired volume of BAC water into an insulin syringe. 4) Slowly inject the water against the inside wall of the peptide vial — never direct the stream onto the powder, which can denature fragile peptide chains. 5) Do not shake. Gently swirl or let sit until fully dissolved. 6) Label the reconstituted vial with date and final concentration.
