Sharps container
​Choose the Right Solvent
Bacteriostatic water (BAC water) is the most common solvent. It contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol which prevents bacterial growth and extends shelf life. For some peptides, sterile water or sodium chloride solution may be specified. The Bacteriostatic water provided in your order is recommended by Adonis Wellness.
​
Check Solvent Temperature
Allow refrigerated bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature before use. Cold solvent can cause the peptide to clump and dissolve unevenly.
​
Calculate Your Volume
Use the calculator above to determine exactly how much solvent to add based on your peptide amount and desired concentration. Common volumes are 1mL, 2mL, or 3mL, depending on the peptide strength.
​
Sanitize Before Drawing
Wipe the rubber stopper of the bacteriostatic water vial with an alcohol swab. Allow to air dry for 30 seconds before inserting the needle.
​Adding the Solvent
How you add the solvent to your peptide is critical.
Improper technique can damage the peptide molecules.
​
​
1 - Clean the Peptide Vial​​​​​
Wipe the rubber stopper of the peptide vial with an alcohol swab. Allow to air dry completely before proceeding.
​
2 - Insert Needle at an Angle
Pierce the rubber stopper and angle the needle so it points toward the inside wall of the vial, NOT directly at the powder cake.
​
3 - Dispense Slowly Along The Wall
Gently push the plunger to release the solvent. Let it run slowly down the inside glass wall of the vial. NEVER spray directly onto the lyophilized powder - this can damage the peptide structure.
​
4 - Allow To Disolve Naturally
Most peptides will dissolve on their own within a few minutes. You can gently roll the vial between your palms to help mixing. NEVER shake vigorously as this denatures the peptide.
​
5 - Inspect the Solution
The final solution should be completely clear with no visible particles, cloudiness, or discoloration. If the solution appears cloudy or has floating particles, do not use it and contact your provider.
​
STORING YOUR PEPTIDES
Proper storage is essential to maintain peptide potency and prevent contamination.
​​Do This
​
✓ Store reconstituted peptides in the refrigerator at 36-46°F (2-8°C)
​
✓ Keep vials upright to prevent solution from contacting the stopper
​
✓ Label each vial with the peptide name, concentration, and reconstitution date
​
✓ Use within 4-6 weeks of reconstitution for optimal potency
​
✓ Always clean the stopper with alcohol before each draw
​
Avoid This
✗ Never freeze reconstituted peptides - freezing destroys the molecular structure
​
✗ Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or UV light
​
✗ Do not store at room temperature for extended
periods
​
✗ Never use a peptide solution that appears cloudy or discolored
✗ Do not use the same needle for multiple draws - use a fresh needle each time
