Reconstitution is the process of dissolving a lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide powder into a liquid solvent to prepare it for use. This creates a solution of a specific concentration.

• Peptide Vial (lyophilized powder)
• Solvent (e.g., Bacteriostatic Water)
• Syringes for reconstitution and administration
• Alcohol Prep Wipes

1. Prepare Vials: Remove plastic caps from peptide and solvent vials. Wipe the rubber stoppers with an alcohol wipe.
2. Draw Solvent: Use a syringe to draw up the exact amount of solvent needed for your calculation.
3. Inject Solvent: Slowly and gently inject the solvent into the peptide vial. Aim the stream of liquid against the side of the glass vial to avoid foaming or damaging the peptide.
4. Dissolve Peptide: Do NOT shake the vial. Gently swirl it or roll it between your hands until all the powder is dissolved. Most peptides dissolve quickly.
5. Storage: Once reconstituted, store the peptide in the refrigerator (do not freeze). Check peptide-specific guidelines for shelf life.

If the peptide doesn't dissolve easily, it may be more hydrophobic. You can try letting it sit in the fridge for a few hours. If that doesn't work, a small amount of a different solvent like Acetic Acid might be needed, but always follow specific instructions for that peptide.
