What You'll Need
Before starting, gather all supplies and set up a clean workspace. Having everything ready prevents contamination from pausing mid-process to find materials.
Lyophilized peptide vial— The freeze-dried powder
Bacteriostatic water (BAC water)— With 0.9% benzyl alcohol preservative
Insulin syringes (1ml / 100 unit)— 29-31 gauge for subcutaneous use
Alcohol swab pads— For sanitizing vial rubber stoppers
