Laboratory reconstitution guide

Reconstitution means dissolving a dry material to prepare a solution. The correct solvent and conditions depend on the peptide and the assay.

Before preparing a solution

  1. Confirm the identity, lot, labelled amount and supplier instructions.
  2. Check the solvent and target concentration specified by your validated laboratory procedure.
  3. Check solubility on a small portion where the procedure requires it.
  4. Record the actual final volume, concentration, solvent and preparation date.
  5. Label and store the solution according to the material-specific instructions.

There is no universal water volume or shelf life for every peptide. This guide does not provide injection instructions.
