Protocol Overview
Reconstitution Instructions
Using 1mL of bacteriostatic water results in a concentration of 1mg/mL. Always use sterile techniques.
Materials Needed
1mg Follistatin 344 1mg vial (lyophilized powder)
1mL bacteriostatic water (sterile, preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol)
Sterile syringe and needle (18-22 gauge for drawing)
Alcohol swabs
Clean workspace
Step-by-Step Process
Preparation: Allow the Follistatin 344 1mg vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature. Wipe the rubber stoppers of both vials with an alcohol swab.
Draw the Water: Using a sterile syringe, draw up exactly 1mL of bacteriostatic water. Expel any air bubbles.
Inject into Vial: Insert the needle through the rubber stopper at a slight angle, aiming toward the glass wall. Slowly inject the water down the side of the vial to avoid foaming.
Mix Gently: Remove the needle. Gently swirl or roll the vial between your hands. Do not shake vigorously.
Check for Clarity: The solution should be clear once fully reconstituted. Do not use if cloudy.
