Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Prepare the workspace. Wash and dry your hands. Clean the preparation surface and place all required materials within reach. You will need: Peptide vial 3 mL sterile water New sterile syringe and needle Alcohol swabs Approved sharps container Compatible sterile cartridge, if required
2
Check the vials. Confirm the product name, vial strength, batch details and expiry dates. Check that the seals are intact and that neither container is cracked, leaking or damaged. Do not use sterile water that appears cloudy, discoloured or contaminated.
3
Clean the stoppers. Remove the protective caps from the peptide and sterile-water vials. Wipe each rubber stopper with a separate alcohol swab and allow it to air-dry. Avoid touching the cleaned stoppers.
4
Measure 3 mL of sterile water. Use a new sterile syringe and needle. Check the measurement before adding the water to the peptide vial. Tetratide uses 3 mL per peptide vial.
5
Add the sterile water slowly. Insert the needle through the peptide vial’s rubber stopper. Slowly direct the sterile water against the inside wall of the vial instead of spraying it directly onto the powder. This helps reduce foaming and unnecessary agitation. Remove the syringe and dispose of the needle and syringe safely. Never reuse either item.
6
Gently dissolve the material. Allow the liquid to run down the inside wall of the vial. Gently roll or swirl the vial until the material has dissolved. Do not shake the vial vigorously. Some materials dissolve immediately, while others may require additional time. Do not heat the vial.
Optional cartridge transfer
Prepare and inspect in the original vial first. Cartridge transfer is only needed when a compatible system forms part of your laboratory protocol. Trained personnel should check capacity and compatibility, use new sterile transfer equipment, and follow equipment instructions.
Research Concentrations
The dilution volume determines the technical concentration of a liquid research sample. These calculations are strictly for laboratory research and are not intended for clinical or veterinary use.
Quantity in mg divided by a nominal prepared volume of 3 mL = concentration in mg/mL. Example: 30 mg in 3 mL = 10 mg/mL = 10,000 micrograms/mL. Actual final volume may differ slightly. Concentration does not determine a dose.
Storage & Handling
- Keep prepared research peptides refrigerated unless product-specific guidance says otherwise.Avoid heat, direct sunlight, and repeated temperature changes.Keep vials and cartridges sealed when not in use.Use clean, sterile handling practices.Discard any product that becomes cloudy, contaminated, damaged, or shows visible particles.Always record the preparation date.
