Reconstitution & Handling
Lesson 2 of 37 min

The reconstitution procedure

The clean, step-by-step technique — from sanitizing to storage.

Listen to this lesson

Here is the clean, industry-standard technique — the way it is done properly. This is teaching the method, not telling you to do it.

  1. 1Sanitize: clean the surface, wash hands, lay out supplies
  2. 2Clean both vial tops with an alcohol pad; let them air-dry
  3. 3Draw the correct BAC water with the larger syringe
  4. 4Inject slowly down the inside wall — not onto the powder
  5. 5Roll, never shake, until it dissolves into a clear liquid
  6. 6Calculate your dose and draw with the measuring syringe
  7. 7Label the date, refrigerate, track the discard window

Each of these steps exists for a reason. The alcohol prep kills the microbes that could otherwise ride your needle into the vial. Rolling instead of shaking protects the fragile peptide chain from physical damage. Refrigerating slows degradation so it stays effective for the ~28-day window.

Most of what goes wrong in this space comes from skipping the simple steps — especially the alcohol prep and the "roll, don't shake" rule.

✦ Key takeaway

Technique is simple, but it is a sequence. Do the steps in order, every time, and you remove nearly all the avoidable risk.
