couple of tb500 questions

[Shadow345]

1. Recon: For 2mg how much sterile water should be used to recon?

2. Storage: if kept in powder form is it okay to store in a drawer or must it be in freezer or fridge?

thanks!

1. 1ml of water is fine

2. Best to keep in the fridge

It makes no difference how much water you use as long as you keep ratios consistent. There is 2mg in a vial. If you use 1cc, then you know that 1cc gives you 2mg. If you use 0.5cc, then you know that 0.5cc give you the 2mg. It takes little water do dissolve the TB500.

It's best to research the whole 2mg vial subQ in one injection. I use 1/2cc sodium chloride bac water to reconstitute...bac water is fine. As long as you inject it upon reconstitution, sterile water is fine too. I store it in the refrigerator before reconstitution. Peptides are not meant to be stored at room temperature...better safe than sorry.

would storing it in the freezer be okay too? Easier to keep is out of site from other researchers in the house.

Fuuny you should ask. I asked JJB1 these same questions. His recommendation was just the fridge so that's what I'm doing. I mean let's be frank depending how much you got a lot will get used up in the first month or so.

Also regarding reconstituting it. I just mixed my first vial. I went with .5ml and no kidding it seems to dissolve after just .1ml of the bac water was in the vial. Next time I might try even a bit less bac water like .4 or even .3. One issue I always seem to have is getting that last drip drop out. For instance I put .5ml in for the mixing but when I drew it out it was only .46-.47ml. There's always that fraction of a drop I can never seem to get. Yes I'm probably being ridiculous. But if I was to only use say .1ml and I only extract .07ml thats quite a bit of lost product.

Interesting because I was also under the impression that freezing it was not recommended. At any rate mine is is my fridge and I think thats a decent compromise between room temp and the freezer
