Preparing peptides correctly ensures accurate and consistent measurements in research settings. Below is a simplified, easy-to-follow guide to help researchers reconstitute PurePeptix peptides with bacteriostatic water.
Key Points
-
1 mg = 1000 mcg
-
Each peptide vial can typically accommodate up to 3 ml of bacteriostatic water
-
Always use sterile lab equipment when handling any research compound
-
Store mixed solutions in a clean, temperature-stable environment as required for research
How to Mix Your Peptides (Research Level Procedure)
Step-by-Step Reconstitution
-
Choose your diluent
Bacteriostatic water is commonly used for research reconstitution. -
Insert water slowly
Let the water run gently down the inside of the vial to avoid foaming. -
Do NOT shake the vial
Swirl lightly until the peptide dissolves completely. -
Record the concentration
This helps you calculate accurate measurements for your study.
Basic Reconstitution Reference Examples
Below is a general table researchers often use to calculate concentration after adding bacteriostatic water:
| Peptide Amount | Water Added | Final Concentration |
|---|---|---|
| 5 mg vial | 1 ml | 5 mg/ml |
| 5 mg vial | 2 ml | 2.5 mg/ml |
| 10 mg vial | 2 ml | 5 mg/ml |
| 10 mg vial | 3 ml | 3.33 mg/ml |
