Reconstitution basics for laboratory study

Reconstitution is the laboratory step of dissolving a lyophilized peptide in a suitable solvent before in-vitro study.

A common choice is sterile or bacteriostatic water, though the appropriate solvent depends on the peptide and the research model.

Concentration is set by the volume of solvent added to a known amount of peptide; many laboratories prepare small aliquots to limit repeated freezing and thawing.

Reconstitution should be performed with appropriate sterile technique by qualified laboratory personnel. This material is for in-vitro research only and not for administration to humans or animals.
