Bump the thread, have received PM's asking how to keep or how to mix peptides. Find info from a google search and other trusted sources to best attain clarity. When in doubt, double check your math - scary how many are not sure of what they are doing and are fearful to ask the question.
[b]Talking points for those wondering about tips for reconstituting peptides]
* Keep your powder peptide vials in the fridge - opened bacteriostatic water or sodium chloride for injection multi-use vials chilled nearby.
* When you mix your solution in with your peptide powder and its properly reconstituted => Keep product stored inside the fridge. The peptide will keep well for weeks to months depending on the polymer.
* Always swab away potential dirt/debris from the top of the vial rubber before drawing dosages and wait until dry after swabbing before drawing out peptide injection.
* When mixing solution (bac water, for example) into your peptide vial, remember to consider the air pressure within the vial. Easy way to preform this action is to vent the vial after putting in your solution, pull the plug quickly from the butt of the syringe while needle still inserted, a brief second is all that's required to neutralize pressure. Too much pressure in vial can cause release/explosion of product streaming outside the vial!
* While drawing solution from a research peptide vial, be sure to first fill the pin with air to the dosage mark you will be loading. Push air inside vial, then flip & draw peptide to that same point, to maintain pressure and make drawing easy.
*how much solution to mix in with pep you ask? doesn't matter much, do what makes dosing easy to figure out and tak. for me i only add 1-2ml of bac water to my little peptide vial because i don't see the use of extra solution and i know how to dose it fine with 1-2ml total mixed in, others I have seen talk about adding 5 and even 10ml, that is fine also if that is what you wish to do.
