For laboratory handling only. Reconstitute the lyophilised powder by adding the chosen research-grade solvent (e.g. sterile or bacteriostatic water) slowly against the inside wall of the vial; do not inject directly onto the powder. Swirl gently until fully dissolved — do not shake or vortex vigorously, as agitation can degrade peptide material. Calculate the solvent volume to reach the concentration required for your assay. Aliquot to minimise freeze–thaw cycles. Store the reconstituted solution refrigerated and use within approximately 6 weeks. All handling should be performed by qualified laboratory personnel under appropriate conditions.
