FAQ
- Why do researchers prefer reusable peptide pens over disposable ones?
- Reusable metal pens accept refillable 3 mL glass cartridges, deliver precise precision click-dial measurements, generate less waste, and cost less per use over time compared to single-use disposable pens.
- What cartridge does the Gansulin reusable pen use?
- The Gansulin metal pen is designed for standard 3 mL glass Gansulin cartridges, which load directly into the pen body and align with the U-100 scale for consistent, repeatable volume selection.
- How do I convert units to volume when using a precision click-dial pen in peptide research?
- Reconstitute the sample first, then run the concentration through a peptide calculator. Once concentration is known, the precision click-dial knob lets you select the corresponding volume directly on the U-100 scale.
