Product Guidelines

RESEARCH PEPTIDE HANDLING & PREPARATION GUIDE

Educational & Laboratory Reference Only

The information below is provided strictly for educational and research reference purposes. All compounds listed are supplied as research materials only. This guide reflects commonly cited laboratory handling conventions and mechanistic discussions found in published research literature. It does not constitute medical advice, treatment guidance, or prescriptive dosing instructions.

Important note on dosing & research timeframes

Peptide research is not one-size-fits-all. Each compound may be explored in multiple research contexts for different objectives, using different protocols, timeframes, and reference amounts. As such, there is no universal protocol.

  • Reference amounts and schedules vary widely in the literature
  • Individual response, research intent, and experimental design all matter
  • The reference handling examples below are for calculation and consistency only

It is strongly encouraged that you conduct your own independent research and, where appropriate, work with a qualified coach, clinician, or medical professional who is open-minded and research-literate. We are continuously refining and improving these guidelines as research evolves.

HOW TO USE OUR PEPTIDE CALCULATOR (RESEARCH CALCULATION GUIDE)

Our calculator is designed to help you convert vial amount + reconstitution volume into a clear concentration, and then translate a target reference amount into a measurable volume (mL / syringe units). This is for calculation consistency only.

What you’ll need before using the calculator

  • Vial content (e.g., 5mg, 10mg, 20mg, 100mg, 500mg)
  • Reconstitution volume (mL of bacteriostatic water you add)
  • Your target reference amount (mg or mcg) from your chosen research protocol/literature
  • Your syringe scale: most insulin syringes are 1.0mL = 100 units

Step-by-step (most common workflow)

  1. Select compound (optional) or use “Custom” if your vial differs from defaults.
  2. Enter vial amount (e.g., 10mg).
  3. Enter reconstitution volume in mL (e.g., 2mL).
  4. Calculator outputs Concentration (e.g., 5mg/mL or 5000mcg/mL).
  5. Enter target reference amount (example: 500mcg).
  6. Calculator outputs:
    • mL to withdraw (e.g., 0.10mL)
    • Units on a 100-unit insulin syringe (e.g., 10 units)
  7. Sanity check:
    • If you double the reconstitution volume, the concentration halves.
    • If you double the target amount, the volume required doubles.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • mg vs mcg confusion (1mg = 1000mcg)
  • Entering reconstitution volume in the wrong unit (mL only)
  • Assuming “units” always equals mg (units are a syringe scale; mg/mcg depend on concentration)

Tip: If your protocol is written in mcg but your vial is in mg, convert first (mg × 1000 = mcg) or let the calculator handle the unit conversion if supported.

General handling principles
  • Use sterile technique
  • Allow lyophilised compounds to reconstitute naturally
  • Do not shake or agitate
  • Store reconstituted solutions refrigerated (not frozen unless specified)
  • Reference volumes are used for calculation consistency only

Peptides are best understood as signalling molecules — they influence pathways and environments, not outcomes in isolation.
