Tip: These calculations are based on a standard 1mL (100 IU) insulin syringe. The syringe visual shows up to 60 IU — if your draw exceeds this, refer to the numeric value above. Always verify your reconstitution volumes and consult relevant documentation before use. Results are for research and reference purposes only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Peptide reconstitution is the process of dissolving a lyophilised (freeze-dried) peptide powder with bacteriostatic water to create a liquid solution ready for use. The amount of water added determines the final concentration.

Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which inhibits bacterial growth. It is the recommended diluent for peptide reconstitution as it extends the shelf life of the solution compared to plain sterile water.

Bacteriostatic sodium chloride (0.9% NaCl with benzyl alcohol) is a sterile saline solution used as an alternative diluent for peptide reconstitution. Like bacteriostatic water, it contains benzyl alcohol to inhibit bacterial growth, but the addition of sodium chloride makes it isotonic — matching the salt concentration of body fluids. Some peptides and research compounds reconstitute more stably in bacteriostatic saline than in plain bacteriostatic water, making it a common choice in laboratory and clinical settings.

IU stands for International Units — the measurement markings on a standard 1mL insulin syringe. A 1mL syringe holds 100 IU. When the calculator says "draw to 10 IU," that means draw the plunger back to the 10-unit marking on the syringe, which equals 0.1mL.

The most common approach is to add 3 millilitres of bacteriostatic water per vial. Adding less water results in a more concentrated solution (smaller draw volumes per dose), while adding more water results in a more dilute solution. Use this calculator to find the right balance for your dose.

No. Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the building blocks of proteins — and are entirely distinct from anabolic steroids. While some peptides may interact with hormonal pathways, they are structurally and pharmacologically different compounds.

Once reconstituted, peptide solutions should be stored refrigerated (2–8°C) and kept away from direct light. Reconstituted peptides with bacteriostatic water are generally stable for 4–6 weeks when stored correctly. Lyophilised (dry) peptides have a significantly longer shelf life.
