Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides must be reconstituted before use in research protocols.
Choosing a Diluent
Bacteriostatic water is commonly used because the benzyl alcohol content limits microbial growth across multiple draws.
Adding Diluent Slowly
Direct the stream against the vial wall rather than onto the powder, and let the peptide dissolve without vigorous shaking.
Concentration
Concentration is simply peptide mass divided by diluent volume. Use our reconstitution calculator to convert to the exact volume to draw for a target amount.
