How Much BAC Water for CJC-1295 (With DAC)?

Quick answer: Add 1 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg CJC-1295 (With DAC) vial. This yields a concentration of 5 mg/mL. A standard 2 mg research dose then requires 0.4 mL (40 IU on a 100-unit insulin syringe).

Concentration by BAC water volume

Concentration and 2 mg draw volume at common BAC water volumes for a 5 mg vial.

BAC water	Concentration	Dose volume	Draw
1 mL Standard	5 mg/mL	0.4 mL	40 IU
2 mL	2.5 mg/mL	0.8 mL	80 IU
3 mL	1.67 mg/mL	1.2 mL	120 IU
5 mL	1 mg/mL	2 mL	200 IU

Dose volume at the standard 5 mg/mL concentration

How draw volume changes if you vary the dose at the standard 5 mg + 1 mL reconstitution.

Dose	Volume	IU draw (100u)
1 mg	0.2 mL	20 IU
2 mg Std	0.4 mL	40 IU
3 mg	0.6 mL	60 IU
4 mg	0.8 mL	80 IU
6 mg	1.2 mL	120 IU

Reconstitution steps

Wipe the top of both the CJC-1295 (With DAC) vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with alcohol swabs.
Draw 1 mL of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe.
Inject the water slowly down the inside glass wall of the CJC-1295 (With DAC) vial. Do not aim directly at the powder.
Swirl gently until fully dissolved. Never shake.
Refrigerate at 2-8°C protected from light. Allow to reach room temperature before each draw.

Frequently asked

How much BAC water do I add to a 5 mg CJC-1295 (With DAC) vial?

For the standard ASCEND research protocol, add 1 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg CJC-1295 (With DAC) vial. This yields 5 mg/mL.

What concentration does 1 mL BAC water give for 5 mg CJC-1295 (With DAC)?

A 5 mg CJC-1295 (With DAC) vial reconstituted with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water yields 5 mg/mL. A 2 mg dose then requires 0.4 mL (40 IU on a 100-unit insulin syringe).

Can I use sterile water instead of bacteriostatic water for CJC-1295 (With DAC)?

Bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) is preferred because it inhibits bacterial growth and allows multi-dose use of the reconstituted vial. Sterile water lacks preservative properties and accelerates peptide degradation once the vial is opened.

How long is CJC-1295 (With DAC) stable once reconstituted with BAC water?

Most research peptides remain stable for approximately 28 days when reconstituted with bacteriostatic water and stored at 2-8°C protected from light. Refer to peptide-specific stability data for any deviation from this baseline.

What size insulin syringe should I use for CJC-1295 (With DAC)?

For a 2 mg dose (40 IU draw), a 50-unit (0.5 mL) or 100-unit U-100 insulin syringe is appropriate.

Can I transport reconstituted CJC-1295 (With DAC)?

Keep it cold in transit. An insulated bag or small cooler with an ice pack holds the 2-8°C range for several hours, which covers most day trips or drives. For longer travel, pack it the same way you would any refrigerated medication, and get it back into a fridge as soon as you arrive. Extended time at room temperature shortens the ~28-day stability window.
