Guide: Mixing Peptides with Bacteriostatic Water
Peptide Reconstitution Guide
Peptide reconstitution is the process of adding bacteriostatic water to a lyophilized peptide powder in order to create a liquid solution that can be measured accurately with an insulin syringe.
Most research peptides are supplied in 5mg, 10mg, or 15mg vials and must be mixed before they can be measured into syringe units.
Basic Reconstitution Formula
The concentration of a peptide solution depends on two factors:
• The amount of peptide in the vial
• The amount of bacteriostatic water added
For example:
10mg peptide + 2mL bacteriostatic water
This creates a solution where:
1mL = 5mg
1 unit = 0.05mg
Common Reconstitution Example
10mg vial mixed with 2mL bacteriostatic water:
| Dose | Syringe Units |
|---|---|
| 100mcg | 2 units |
| 250mcg | 5 units |
| 500mcg | 10 units |
| 1mg | 20 units |
How to Reconstitute a Peptide
- Clean the vial stopper with an alcohol pad
- Draw bacteriostatic water into an insulin syringe
- Slowly inject the water into the vial
- Let the liquid run down the side of the vial
- Gently swirl (do not shake)
This creates a fully dissolved peptide solution.
