How to reconstitute IGF-1 LR3
IGF-1 LR3 ships as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder and must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water before use in research. A standard 1mg vial is reconstituted with 1ml to 2ml of solvent. Use the visual calculator above to convert your vial size, water volume, and target dose into an exact syringe tick mark.
- 1Prepare your vial. Take your 1mg lyophilized IGF-1 LR3 vial and a vial of bacteriostatic water. Wipe both stoppers with an alcohol swab.
- 2Add the solvent slowly. Draw 1ml to 2ml of bacteriostatic water and inject it slowly down the inside wall of the IGF-1 LR3 vial, never directly onto the powder.
- 3Swirl, never shake. Gently swirl the vial until the IGF-1 LR3 fully dissolves into a clear solution. Shaking can damage the peptide.
- 4Read your dose on the calculator. Enter your vial size, water added, and target dose into the calculator above to get the exact syringe tick mark.
- 5Store correctly. Keep reconstituted IGF-1 LR3 refrigerated at 2-8C and use within the research window; store unreconstituted vials in the freezer.
IGF-1 LR3 reconstitution FAQ
How much bacteriostatic water for a 1mg vial of IGF-1 LR3?
For a 1mg vial of IGF-1 LR3, add 1ml to 2ml of bacteriostatic water. 1ml gives a 1mg/ml concentration; 2ml gives 0.5mg/ml. Use the calculator above to convert that into an exact syringe measurement.
How do I reconstitute IGF-1 LR3 step by step?
Swab the stoppers, inject 1-2ml of bacteriostatic water slowly down the IGF-1 LR3 vial wall, swirl gently until clear (never shake), then read the correct syringe tick mark from the calculator above.
How should IGF-1 LR3 be stored after mixing?
Reconstituted IGF-1 LR3 is kept refrigerated at 2-8C and used within its research window. Unreconstituted (lyophilized) IGF-1 LR3 is best stored in the freezer, away from light and moisture.
