Hey guys,

I have a question about reconstituting peptides.

I only have access to sterile 0.9% NaCl (saline), not bacteriostatic water. I’ve seen some people say it’s fine to use NaCl, while others say bac water is a must because of the preservative.

My situation:

I always use a new needle and syringe

I disinfect the vial top before each use

I store the reconstituted peptide in the fridge

Questions:

Is sterile NaCl actually safe for this, or is the lack of benzyl alcohol a real issue?

How long would you personally keep a peptide reconstituted with NaCl before tossing it?

Any experiences (good or bad) with this?
