Short answer: Lyophilized (freeze-dried) research peptides are reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, added gently down the vial wall and swirled, not shaken. Store lyophilized vials in the freezer and reconstituted vials refrigerated, away from light.
Reconstitution steps (research handling)
- Wipe both vial stoppers with alcohol.
- Draw bacteriostatic water and add it slowly down the inside wall of the peptide vial.
- Swirl gently to dissolve — do not shake (shaking can damage the peptide).
- Let it fully clarify before use; discard if cloudy or particulated.
Storage at a glance
Always follow the handling guidance for your specific compound and keep everything strictly for research use.
