Peptide Reconstitution Calculator
Calculate how much solvent (bacteriostatic water, acetic acid, etc.) to add to your peptide to achieve the desired concentration.
About Peptide Reconstitution
Formula Used
Solvent Volume (ml) = Peptide Weight (mg) ÷ Desired Concentration (mg/ml)
Definitions
- Reconstitution
- The process of adding a solvent to a lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide to create a solution.
- Concentration
- The amount of peptide dissolved in a specific volume of solvent, typically measured in mg/ml.
- Solvent
- The liquid used to dissolve the peptide, commonly bacteriostatic water, acetic acid, or sterile water.
Tips for Proper Reconstitution
- Allow the peptide vial to reach room temperature before reconstitution.
- Gently inject the solvent against the glass wall of the vial, not directly onto the peptide.
- Swirl the vial gently until the peptide is completely dissolved. Do not shake vigorously.
- Store reconstituted peptides according to the manufacturer's recommendations, usually refrigerated.
