Reconstitution

You will need: a U-100 insulin syringe, bacteriostatic water, and alcohol swabs.

Before you start: allow the bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature. Do not use it cold — cold water dissolves the lyophilate more slowly and less completely. Never warm or heat the water, as heat degrades the peptide.

1. Swab the stopper of both the bacteriostatic water vial and the product vial with alcohol.
2. Draw your target volume of bacteriostatic water into the insulin syringe. If your volume is more than 1 mL, use two or more draws — the syringe holds 1 mL.
3. Insert the needle into the product vial and inject the water slowly, aiming the tip at the inner glass wall so it runs down the side — not directly onto the powder.
4. Swirl gently until fully dissolved and clear. Do not shake (shaking foams and stresses the peptide).
5. Once the solution is completely clear, draw it back into the U-100 syringe in precise unit increments for accurate aliquoting.
6. Refrigerate the reconstituted vial (2–8 °C).
