Units are the marks on a 100-unit insulin syringe. If you add a different amount of water, the units change. Use the calculator to redo the math.
Mixing, step by step
- Let the vial sit out until it is room temperature. Wipe the rubber top with alcohol.
- Draw the amount of bacteriostatic water from the chart into a syringe.
- Aim the water at the glass wall, not straight at the powder. Let it run down.
- Swirl gently until the liquid is clear. Never shake it.
- Write the date on the vial and put it in the fridge.
What about acetic acid?
A few peptides do not fully dissolve in bacteriostatic water. For those, research labs use a weak acetic acid solution instead.
- Almost everything on this site mixes fine with bacteriostatic water. Try that first.
- The usual strength is 0.6% acetic acid, which is very weak. Some labs go up to 2%.
- Use it when the powder stays cloudy, clumpy, or will not clear after gentle swirling.
- KPV is the most common one that needs it. Some GHK-Cu and blend vials do too.
- Never use household vinegar or table vinegar. Use lab-grade acetic acid made for reconstitution.
- Acid-mixed vials can sting a little more. Refrigerate them the same way.
- Mix the vial with bacteriostatic water first, using the amount in the chart.
- Swirl gently for a minute. Most powders clear up on their own.
- If it is still cloudy, start over with the same amount of 0.6% acetic acid instead of water.
- If it clears but you still see specks, throw the vial out.
Things people get wrong
- More water does not make a stronger dose. It only spreads the same amount out.
- Use bacteriostatic water, not plain sterile water. Plain water has no preservative and the vial spoils.
- Cloudy liquid or floating bits means throw it out.
- Reaching for acetic acid before trying bacteriostatic water. Water first, acid only if needed.
- Most mixed vials are good for about 4 weeks in the fridge.
