Guide de Reconstitution des Peptides
La reconstitution est le processus de mélange de poudre de peptide lyophilisé avec de l'eau bacteriostatique pour créer une solution liquide pour injection. Utilisez toujours une technique stérile et suivez les protocoles médicaux appropriés.
Directives de Stockage
Après reconstitution, la plupart des peptides doivent être stockés au réfrigérateur (2-8°C ou 36-46°F) jusqu'à 4-6 semaines. Vérifiez toujours les recommandations de stockage spécifiques pour votre peptide. Jetez si la solution devient trouble ou décolorée.
Informations de Sécurité
Utilisez uniquement des fournitures d'injection stériles. Ne partagez jamais les aiguilles ou seringues. Suivez la rotation appropriée du site d'injection. Éliminez les aiguilles usagées dans des conteneurs pour objets tranchants approuvés. Signalez toute réaction indésirable à votre professionnel de santé immédiatement.
Les peptides doivent être obtenus auprès de pharmacies de formulation agréées et utilisés sous surveillance médicale.

A reconstitution calculator answers one arithmetic question: after adding a given volume of diluent to a lyophilised vial, how much liquid contains the amount you intend to draw. That arithmetic is where a specific and well-documented category of harm occurs, because the syringes used are marked in insulin units rather than millilitres, and confusing the two has caused serious overdoses. This page covers the maths and the hazards. It gives no doses and endorses no substance.
La formule
Concentration (mg/mL) = vial contents (mg) / diluent added (mL)
Volume to draw (mL) = intended amount (mg) / concentration (mg/mL)
Insulin syringe units = volume (mL) x 100- A U-100 insulin syringe is marked so that 100 units equals 1 mL
- 1 mg = 1000 mcg; most errors involving small quantities come from this conversion
Standard reconstitution arithmetic. U-100 marking convention is the international standard for insulin syringes.
Where the errors happen
The dangerous confusion is between units and millilitres. On a U-100 syringe, 100 units is one millilitre, so a person intending to draw 10 units who instead reads the syringe as millilitres, or who applies a dose figure quoted in units for a differently reconstituted vial, can deliver ten times the intended amount. Regulators have issued specific warnings about exactly this pattern with compounded injectables supplied in vials rather than pre-filled pens.
The second common error is the milligram to microgram conversion. Quantities are frequently quoted in micrograms while vial contents are labelled in milligrams, and a factor of 1000 mistake in that direction is not survivable arithmetic to get wrong.
The third is assuming a dose figure transfers between vials. A unit count is meaningless without knowing the concentration it was calculated for, because the same volume from a differently reconstituted vial contains a different amount.
- Always recalculate for the specific vial and the specific diluent volume you used. Never reuse a unit figure from elsewhere.
- Write the reconstitution date and the resulting concentration on the vial.
Reconstitution and storage basics
Lyophilised peptides are supplied as a dry powder because they are unstable in solution. Diluent is added slowly down the side of the vial rather than directly onto the powder, and the vial is swirled rather than shaken, because agitation can denature peptides. The powder should dissolve to a clear solution; cloudiness or visible particles indicate a problem and the vial should not be used.
Bacteriostatic water contains benzyl alcohol as a preservative and permits multiple withdrawals over a period; sterile water contains no preservative and is single-use. That distinction matters for contamination risk. Reconstituted peptides are generally refrigerated and have limited stability, and any product that has been frozen and thawed, left at room temperature, or has changed appearance should be discarded.
- Bacteriostatic water is not appropriate for neonates because of benzyl alcohol toxicity, and is not interchangeable with sterile water in every context.
- Reconstituted vials degrade. Stability varies by peptide and is generally on the order of weeks refrigerated, not months.
What this calculator does not tell you
Most peptides sold direct to consumers are marketed as research chemicals not intended for human use, and are outside the regulatory system that assures identity, purity, sterility and potency. Independent testing of such products has repeatedly found contents that differ from the label. A calculator can tell you what volume corresponds to a stated quantity; it cannot tell you that the vial contains what the label claims.
Compounded versions of approved drugs occupy a different but related category. They are not FDA-approved products, are not reviewed for safety, effectiveness or quality before marketing, and the dosing-error warnings referenced above arose specifically from them. Anything intended for human use should come through a prescriber and a regulated pharmacy.
- This page gives no dose for any substance, and the presence of a calculator is not an indication that any use is safe or appropriate.
- Injection carries infection, abscess and injury risks independent of what is being injected.
Limites
- This tool performs arithmetic only. It does not indicate that any substance is safe, effective, legal or appropriate for any purpose.
- Most peptides sold to consumers are unapproved for human use and are not subject to quality control for identity, purity, sterility or potency.
- Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed for safety, effectiveness or quality before marketing.
- Unit and millilitre confusion on insulin syringes has caused documented serious overdoses. A unit figure is meaningless without the concentration it was derived from.
- Stability after reconstitution varies by peptide and by storage conditions, and no calculator can determine whether a specific vial is still usable.
- Anything intended for human use should be prescribed by a clinician and dispensed by a regulated pharmacy.
Questions fréquentes
How do I calculate concentration after reconstitution?
Divide the vial contents in milligrams by the millilitres of diluent added. A 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL gives 2.5 mg/mL. The volume to draw is then the intended amount divided by that concentration.
What is the difference between units and millilitres?
On a U-100 insulin syringe, 100 units equals 1 mL, so 10 units is 0.1 mL. Confusing the two is the mechanism behind documented tenfold overdoses, and is the single most important thing to get right.
Can I use a unit figure someone else calculated?
No. A unit count depends entirely on how that specific vial was reconstituted. The same number of units from a vial diluted differently contains a different amount. Always recalculate for your own vial and diluent volume.
What is the difference between bacteriostatic and sterile water?
Bacteriostatic water contains benzyl alcohol as a preservative and allows multiple withdrawals over a period. Sterile water has no preservative and is single-use. They are not interchangeable, and benzyl alcohol is not appropriate for neonates.
Are peptides sold online safe?
Products marketed as research chemicals are outside the regulatory system that assures identity, purity, sterility and potency, and testing has repeatedly found contents differing from the label. Anything intended for human use should come through a prescriber and a regulated pharmacy.
