Dosage Calculation Guide

Accurate measurement is essential for consistent research outcomes.

Step 1: Identify total peptide amount (e.g., 5 mg vial)
Step 2: Determine reconstitution volume (e.g., 2 ml bacteriostatic water)
Step 3: Calculate concentration
→ 5 mg ÷ 2 ml = 2.5 mg/ml (or 2500 mcg/ml)

Step 4: Calculate desired dose
→ 250 mcg ÷ 2500 mcg/ml = 0.1 ml

Use insulin syringes (100 units = 1 ml) for precise measurement.

Proper Reconstitution

  • Always use bacteriostatic water
  • Inject slowly along the side of the vial
  • Do not shake the vial
  • Gently swirl until fully dissolved

Proper reconstitution helps preserve peptide structure and prevents degradation.

Storage Requirements

  • Lyophilized peptides: Store at -20°C for long-term stability
  • After reconstitution: Store at 2–8°C
  • Use within the recommended stability window for best results

Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain peptide integrity.

Documentation & Research Tracking

Maintaining accurate records is essential for professional research.

Researchers should document:

  • Dosage amounts
  • Administration timing
  • Storage conditions
  • Observations and results
  • Any protocol adjustments

Consistent documentation ensures reproducibility, accuracy, and reliable experimental outcomes.
