This guide outlines the process for determining peptide concentration, executing unit conversions, reconstituting peptides in sterile environments, preparing working dilutions, and storing both lyophilized and reconstituted peptides to ensure reproducibility in research workflows.
Precise calculation and reconstitution of peptide vials are critical for ensuring reproducibility in research workflows and avoiding common issues related to solubility or aggregation that could compromise experimental results.
Peptide concentration is calculated as mass divided by volume: Concentration (mg/mL) = peptide mass (mg) ÷ diluent volume (mL). To convert to micrograms per milliliter, multiply mg/mL by 1000.
Common diluents include bacteriostatic water (suitable for multi-use vials), sterile water (ideal for single-use aliquots), DMSO (effective for hydrophobic peptides), and low percent acid (enhances solubility of charged peptides).
Set up a clean workspace, disinfect the vial septum, draw the calculated volume of diluent, inject slowly along the vial wall, gently swirl until dissolved, label with concentration and date, and aliquot for storage while maintaining sterile conditions.
Lyophilized peptides should be stored cold and dry at -20°C for short-term and -80°C for long-term storage. Reconstituted peptides should be refrigerated for short-term use or frozen at -20°C or -80°C for prolonged periods, with limited freeze-thaw cycles.
Use the formula: Volume (mL) = target amount (mcg) ÷ stock concentration (mcg/mL). For example, for a 250 mcg dose from a 5000 mcg/mL stock, the volume would be 0.05 mL.
If dissolution is incomplete, allow for equilibration, use brief sonication, or add a minimal amount of co-solvent while avoiding vigorous vortexing that could cause aggregation.
Use the formula V1 = V2 × (C2/C1) to calculate working concentrations, gently mix to prevent aggregation, and ensure all aliquots are clearly labeled with concentration, solvent, and date.
Label vials with the concentration, solvent used, date of reconstitution, and any modifications made to ensure proper identification and tracking throughout the research process.
