Reconstitution & Handling
Lesson 3 of 34 min

The supplies you actually need

Syringes, BAC water, antiseptic — and what every piece is for.

Listen to this lesson

You can have all the technique in the world and still need the right tools. Here is what you actually need, and why each piece matters.

  • Bacteriostatic water (BAC) — inhibits bacterial growth after puncture
  • A 3ml syringe — for adding the BAC water to the vial
  • A U-100 insulin syringe — for measuring your dose
  • Alcohol prep pads — for cleaning vial tops and injection sites
  • The peptide vial itself — lyophilized powder

Quality matters. A clean source of BAC water and proper single-use syringes are the difference between a sterile procedure and an avoidable risk.

You will find trusted supply links on the Trusted Sources page — these are the exact tools we vet, not random listings.

✦ Key takeaway

Never cut corners on the supplies. The tools are cheaper than the consequences of a bad one.
