Peptide Reconstitution

Research Use Only · Not for Human Consumption

Reconstitution is the process of restoring a lyophilized peptide to its liquid form by adding an appropriate sterile solvent. The standard protocol involves slowly adding bacteriostatic water along the side of the vial (to avoid foaming), then gently swirling until the powder fully dissolves. Reconstituted peptide solutions are stored at 4°C and typically used within 28 days. Shaking is avoided as it can denature the peptide.
