How to reconstitute lyophilized peptides

Lyophilized peptides are extremely stable at ambient temperature but require careful reconstitution before experimental use.

The most common solvent is bacteriostatic water (BAC water) with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which prevents microbial contamination without altering peptide structure.

Inject the solvent slowly against the vial wall, let dissolve without shaking, and refrigerate at 2–8°C once reconstituted.
