How Much BAC Water for SLU-PP-332?
Quick answer: Add 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg SLU-PP-332 vial. This yields a concentration of 1.67 mg/mL. A standard 1.25 mg research dose then requires 0.75 mL (75 IU on a 100-unit insulin syringe).
Concentration by BAC water volume
Concentration and 1.25 mg draw volume at common BAC water volumes for a 5 mg vial.
| BAC water | Concentration | Dose volume | Draw |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 0.25 mL | 25 IU |
| 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 0.5 mL | 50 IU |
| 3 mL Standard | 1.67 mg/mL | 0.75 mL | 75 IU |
| 5 mL | 1 mg/mL | 1.25 mL | 125 IU |
Dose volume at the standard 1.67 mg/mL concentration
How draw volume changes if you vary the dose at the standard 5 mg + 3 mL reconstitution.
| Dose | Volume | IU draw (100u) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.63 mg | 0.38 mL | 37.8 IU |
| 1.25 mg Std | 0.75 mL | 75 IU |
| 1.88 mg | 1.13 mL | 112.8 IU |
| 2.5 mg | 1.5 mL | 150 IU |
| 3.75 mg | 2.25 mL | 225 IU |
Reconstitution steps
- Wipe the top of both the SLU-PP-332 vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with alcohol swabs.
- Draw 3 mL of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe.
- Inject the water slowly down the inside glass wall of the SLU-PP-332 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.
Supplies needed
- SLU-PP-332 5 mg lyophilized vial
- 3 mL bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol)
- 100-unit (1 mL) U-100 insulin syringe
- Alcohol swabs
- Sharps container for disposal
Frequently asked
How much BAC water do I add to a 5 mg SLU-PP-332 vial?
For the standard ASCEND research protocol, add 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg SLU-PP-332 vial. This yields 1.67 mg/mL.
What concentration does 3 mL BAC water give for 5 mg SLU-PP-332?
A 5 mg SLU-PP-332 vial reconstituted with 3 mL of bacteriostatic water yields 1.67 mg/mL. A 1.25 mg dose then requires 0.75 mL (75 IU on a 100-unit insulin syringe).
Can I use sterile water instead of bacteriostatic water for SLU-PP-332?
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 SLU-PP-332 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 SLU-PP-332?
A standard 100-unit (1 mL) U-100 insulin syringe is appropriate for a 1.25 mg SLU-PP-332 dose.
