View Full Version : Diluting peptides with DMSO

Hi guys - I'm new to the peptide scene, so please forgive my noobish ignorance.

Anyway, I've got a really hydrophobic custom peptide (in acetate salt format) that I'd like to dilute down with DMSO (won't dilute without this) and saline/BAC water so I can safely inject it. I just need to know the best and most sterile way I should be doing this...



Should I add the DMSO directly to the acetate salt first, and THEN add the saline/BAC water to this mixture - or vice versa?

Also, can anyone recommend me ratio estimates to mix my peptide salt with saline and -- if anyone is experienced with it -- with DMSO? Keep in mind that I want to IM 40mg of the peptide salt as a standard dose.



What sort of containers do you guys use to mix your peptide salts with BAC water/saline in? It may sound Junky-ish, but would a sterilised metal dish/spoon (soaked with boiling hot water lol) work?


Thanks all.

I've never used DMSO with peptides before. Have you tried reconstituting it with acetic acid? Then using the bac water to dilute the mixture (in the syringe only)
