FAQ
- Can I use any syringe for peptide reconstitution?
- A standard syringe works but lacks the precision and low dead volume of a dedicated pen. For research requiring accurate concentrations and minimal sample loss, a purpose-built tool is superior.
- Are glass cartridges better than plastic vials?
- Neither glass nor plastic is perfectly inert: glass flakes due to chemical delamination have been observed in parenteral liquid formulations after long-term storage (Jiang et al. 2013), the unpredictable nature of peptide binding to surfaces requires optimization of experimental containers (Goebel-Stengel et al. 2011), and cetrorelix adsorbed more to glass than to polypropylene (Grohganz et al. 2004). Some peptides can bind to plastic over time, potentially altering the concentration of your stored sample.
- How do I clean the reusable pen between samples?
- Disassemble the pen and soak the metal parts in ethanol or a suitable lab cleaning solution. Rinse thoroughly with sterile water or a buffer and let dry completely to prevent cross-contamination between peptides.
