- Standard Operating Procedure
Reconstitution at a Glance
Step 01 — Prepare
Allow to Equilibrate
Step 02 — Calculate
Determine Target Volume
Calculate diluent volume for target concentration (e.g. 1mg/mL = 5mL BW for a 5mg vial). Use calibrated pipettes.
Step 03 — Inject Slowly
Add Along the Vial Wall
Inject diluent gently along the inner wall of the vial — never directly onto the lyophilized cake. Avoid agitation.
Step 04 — Verify
Swirl Until Dissolved
Reference Table
Concentration Reference
Use the table to determine diluent volume for your target concentration. Bacteriostatic water recommended for all multi-dose applications.
All volumes in millilitres (mL) of bacteriostatic water
Bacteriostatic Water (BW) — 0.9% benzyl alcohol
Recommended Diluent - Inhibits microbial growth in multi-dose vials
| Vial Size | 1mg/mL | 2mg/mL | 5mg/mL |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2mg | 2.0 mL | 1.0 mL | 0.4 mL |
| 5mg | 5.0 mL | 2.5 mL | 1.0 mL |
| 10mg | 10.0 mL | 5.0 mL | 2.0 mL |
| 30mg | 30.0 mL | 15.0 mL | 6.0 mL |
| 50mg | 50.0 mL | 25.0 mL | 10.0 mL |
- Storage Requirements
Handling & Storage
Lyophilized (Dry) State
Stable at room temperature for up to 3 months when protected from humidity and light. Long-term: −20°C. Shelf life: 24 months when stored correctly.
Reconstituted Solution
Store at 2–8°C (refrigerated). Use within 28 days. Do not freeze reconstituted solutions — freezing may cause peptide aggregation and loss of research activity.
Shipping & Temperature
All orders ship with temperature-appropriate packaging. Lyophilized peptides are stable at ambient temperature during typical shipping durations.
Storage applies to all catalog compounds
What diluent should I use?
Bacteriostatic water (BW) is recommended for all multi-use research applications. It contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which inhibits microbial growth and extends usable life. Sterile water for injection (SWFI) may be used when benzyl alcohol is contraindicated — use within 24–48 hours and refrigerate immediately.
