Reconstitution 3-step visual Reconstitute , add bacteriostatic water down the wall of the vial Measure , use the calculator (section 8) to compute the required volume Store , refrigerator 2 to 8 C, protect from light Detailed protocol What you will need: A vial of AOD-9604 (5 mg lyophilizate) 2 to 2.5 ml of bacteriostatic water (contains 0.9 % benzyl alcohol, a preservative that prevents bacterial growth) Insulin syringe 1 ml / 29G Procedure: Allow the vial of AOD-9604 to reach room temperature (15 to 20 min)

A practical default is to treat most reconstituted peptide solutions as short-term materials: refrigerate at 2-8 C , protect from light, minimize vial punctures, and plan to use or discard the vial within about 28 days unless the supplier provides compound-specific stability data
Look for lot-specific, third-party HPLC purity (typically reported in the high-90s) and mass-spectrometry identity confirmation on the Certificate of Analysis for the exact lot received
This article aims to shed light on what bacteriostatic water is, how it's used in healthcare, and the correct methods for its storage
