How to
Mix on a clean surface.
The usual order. Not a sterile lab, and not a substitute for someone showing you the first time.
- 1
Clear a small area
Pick a hard surface you can wipe. Move mail, food, and pet hair off it. This is a clean field, not a compounding hood.
- 2
Wash, then set out only what you need
Soap and water, then dry with a clean towel. Lay out the peptide vial, bacteriostatic water, the syringes you will actually use, alcohol swabs, and a sharps container. Leave the caps on until you are ready.
- 3
Swab and let it dry
Wipe the peptide stopper and the water stopper with a fresh swab. Wait until the shine is gone. Do not blow on the stopper or touch it after that.
- 4
Draw the water
Use a new syringe. Draw the volume from your mix math, not a guess. If the needle touches the counter or your fingers, throw that syringe away and start with another.
- 5
Aim the water at the glass
Push the needle through the stopper and let the water run down the inside wall. Do not blast it onto the powder. You want the cake to wet, not foam.
- 6
Swirl, don’t shake
Roll the vial between your palms or swirl it gently until the powder is gone. A few slow minutes is normal. Shaking makes foam and can bruise some peptides.
- 7
Label it before it goes in the fridge
Write the peptide, the concentration, the mix date, and the beyond-use date on the vial. If the label says refrigerated, it goes in the fridge, upright, away from the door.
Educational steps only. Not medical advice. Match every number to the vial in your hand, and stop if something looks off.
