Acetic acid solution 0.6%, 30mL vial

Description

Our acetic acid solution comes in a sealed 30mL vial with a rubber stopper, ready for use with peptides. It’s $19.99, and it’s in stock. This is a dilute acetic acid solution, 0.6% in water. A few peptides, IGF-1 LR3 being the usual example, don’t dissolve well in neutral water and need a slightly acidic solvent instead.

You’ll need a reconstitution solution for every vial in our peptide vials and peptide blends ranges. At 0.6% it’s mild, but it’s still an acid, so treat it with more care than water.

What is acetic acid solution?

This is a dilute acetic acid solution, 0.6% in water. A few peptides, IGF-1 LR3 being the usual example, don’t dissolve well in neutral water and need a slightly acidic solvent instead.

Acetic acid is the acid in vinegar, at a much lower and purer concentration here. It helps some peptides dissolve by changing the charge on their amino acids.

How to use acetic acid solution for reconstitution

Wipe the stopper of both vials with an alcohol swab. Draw the volume you need with a sterile syringe, then let it run slowly down the inside wall of the peptide vial. Don’t squirt it straight onto the powder. Swirl gently until the solution is clear, and don’t shake it.

The volume you add sets the concentration. Adding 2mL to a 10mg peptide vial, for example, gives 5mg per mL. Write the volume and date on the peptide vial’s label.

Storage and shelf life

Keep the vial in the fridge and don’t freeze it. Once you’ve punctured the stopper, use a fresh sterile needle every time and never put a used needle back in. Throw the vial out if the liquid turns cloudy or has particles in it.

Common questions about acetic acid solution

Which peptides need acetic acid?

IGF-1 LR3 is the common one. If a peptide stays cloudy in bacteriostatic water, a dilute acid often helps.

Is it safe to handle?

At 0.6% it’s mild, but wear gloves and eye protection and rinse any splashes with water.

Where the acetic acid solution fits in your workflow

A typical peptide workflow goes like this: wipe both stoppers, draw the solution with a sterile syringe, add it slowly to the peptide vial, swirl until clear, then label and refrigerate. Having the right solution on hand before the peptide arrives saves a trip and keeps freshly delivered vials from sitting around unmixed.

Tips for using the acetic acid solution

• Let a refrigerated vial come to room temperature for a few minutes before drawing, so the volume reads accurately.
• Keep a log of the date you first punctured each vial.
• Store it on a shelf away from the fridge door, where the temperature swings most.

Can I use it after the expiry date?

No. Once it’s past the date on the label, replace it.
