Reconstitution is the laboratory step of dissolving a lyophilized peptide into a defined solvent to reach a known concentration for research use. This guide describes the procedure and the concentration math.

Procedure

Bacteriostatic or sterile water is introduced slowly down the inside wall of the vial; the vial is swirled gently — never shaken — until the solid is fully solubilized. Foaming and vigorous agitation are avoided to protect peptide integrity.

Concentration reference

Concentration is solute mass divided by solvent volume (for example, 10 mg in 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL). Our reconstitution calculator converts solvent volume to concentration for laboratory reference. Prepared material is stored at 2–8 °C with minimal freeze–thaw.

Analytical characterization

Research-grade reference material should carry a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis: reverse-phase HPLC for chromatographic purity, mass spectrometry confirming molecular identity against the theoretical mass, and the name of the independent testing laboratory. Batch documentation is published on our Lab Reports page.
