The solution is compromised. The concentration is inaccurate because some peptide is not dissolved, and particulates can damage analytical equipment. It should be rescued or discarded. ### Can I just shake the vial harder to dissolve it? Avoid vigorous shaking. It can cause denaturation (unfolding) of the peptide and excessive foaming. Gentle rolling or inversion is the standard method. ### Will a .22 micron filter remove all the peptide? No, it removes bacteria and particulate matter. However, some peptide molecules can adhere to the filter membrane, leading to a loss of 5-15% of the total amount in the vial. --- Built from PreppinPeppers store data and verified sources only.
