Reconstitution Guide

A complete step-by-step guide to reconstituting your SeraNova powder kit. From freeze-dried powder to ready-to-use solution — simplified, structured, and clear.

🧪
The Starting Point
Lyophilized Peptide
Your peptide arrives as a freeze-dried powder — stable, potent, and ready to be activated.
+
💧
The Activator
BAC Water (3mL included)
Bacteriostatic water is included in every SeraNova powder kit — no need to source separately.

The Result
Reconstituted Solution
A clear, stable, ready-to-use peptide solution at your precise target concentration.
🎒 What You Need
🧪
Peptide Vial
Your lyophilized SeraNova peptide — included in your kit
💧
BAC Water (3mL)
Bacteriostatic water vial — included in your SeraNova kit
💉
3mL Syringe with Needle
For drawing up the full 3mL BAC water — included in your kit
🧹
Alcohol Swabs
For sterilising vial septa before each use — included in your kit
1

Clean Your Workspace

Wash your hands thoroughly before handling any vials or syringes. Pop the plastic flip caps off both your peptide vial and your BAC water vial.

Take a fresh alcohol swab and firmly wipe the rubber stopper (the septum) on both vials. Let them air dry for a few seconds before proceeding.

Why This Matters

Sterilising the septum before every needle insertion prevents contamination and keeps your reconstituted peptide safe for weeks of use.

Draw Up the BAC Water

Vials are tiny vacuums — if you simply try to pull water out directly the vacuum will fight you. Use the air pressure technique for a smooth draw.

Pull the syringe plunger back to fill it with air equal to the volume of BAC water you need. Pierce the BAC water vial septum, push the air in, flip upside down, and let the pressure push the water effortlessly into your syringe.

Your Kit Includes 3mL BAC Water

Draw up the full 3mL from the BAC water vial. This gives you a clean concentration for precise dosing with your SeraNova peptide.

3

Inject the Water into the Peptide Vial

Take your water-filled syringe and pierce the rubber septum of your lyophilized peptide vial straight through the centre.

Push the plunger to inject the water directly — inject it straight in. Pull the needle out, then gently swirl the vial until the liquid is completely crystal clear.

Pro Tip

If the puck does not dissolve immediately, let the vial sit for 5–10 minutes at room temperature and swirl again. A fully dissolved solution will be completely clear with no floating particles.

Draw Your Dose

Now that your peptide is reconstituted and ready, draw your dose using the exact unit mark calculated by the SeraNova Dosage Calculator.

Inject a small amount of air into the peptide vial to equalise pressure. Flip the vial upside down, pull the plunger to your target tick mark, and remove the needle cleanly.

Got Bubbles?

Keep the needle pointing up, tap the side of the syringe so bubbles rise to the top, then gently push the plunger to expel them before drawing your final dose.

Storage After Reconstitution

🌡️
Temperature
Refrigerate at 2–8°C (36–46°F). Never freeze a reconstituted peptide.
🌑
Light & Heat
Keep in the dark. Protect from direct sunlight and extreme heat at all times.
📅
Shelf Life
Properly stored with BAC water, reconstituted peptides remain stable and active for +- 3months.
