Question 1

What is peptide reconstitution?

Accepted Answer

Reconstitution is the process of adding bacteriostatic water to lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide powder to create an injectable solution.

Question 2

How much bacteriostatic water should I use?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the peptide amount and your desired concentration. Use our calculator to determine the exact volume needed.

Question 3

What size syringe should I use for peptides?

Accepted Answer

Most researchers use insulin syringes: 0.3mL (30 units) for small doses, 0.5mL (50 units) for medium, and 1.0mL (100 units) for larger volumes.

Question 4

How do I calculate peptide concentration?

Accepted Answer

Divide the peptide amount (mg) by the bacteriostatic water volume (mL). For example, 5mg in 2mL = 2.5 mg/mL.

Question 5

How many doses are in a vial?

Accepted Answer

Divide the total water volume by the volume per dose. Our calculator computes this automatically.

Question 6

What are insulin units (IU)?

Accepted Answer

Insulin units measure volume on an insulin syringe. On a 100-unit syringe, 100 IU = 1.0 mL. On a 50-unit syringe, 50 IU = 0.5 mL.
