FAQs
What temperature should I store reconstituted peptides at?
Most reconstituted peptides should be stored long-term at cold temperatures between 2C to 8C (35F to 46F) such as in a refrigerator. Avoid freezing or heating peptides after they are in solution.
Can I use distilled water to reconstitute peptides?
Distilled water may be used, but bacteriostatic water is preferred since it contains a mild preservative to help keep peptides sterile for longer once in solution form.
How should I dispose of any unused reconstituted peptide solution?
Excess peptide solution should be disposed by placing it inside a sealed sharps container, similar to those used for disposing injection needles, before placing with normal household waste.
Is there a standard peptide reconstitution ratio to follow?
Theres no universal standard, but a commonly recommended ratio is 1mL of diluent per 5mg of lyophilized peptide powder. Always check instructions for specific reconstitution details.
What solvents should be avoided for reconstituting peptides?
Avoid using solvents that may degrade peptides like alcohol, propylene glycol, or DMSO. Sources of contamination should also be avoided such as tap water or saline with preservatives.
