How Much BAC Water for VK2735?
Quick answer: Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 10 mg VK2735 vial. This yields a concentration of 5 mg/mL. A standard 2.5 mg research dose then requires 0.5 mL (50 IU on a 100-unit insulin syringe).
Concentration by BAC water volume
Concentration and 2.5 mg draw volume at common BAC water volumes for a 10 mg vial.
| BAC water | Concentration | Dose volume | Draw |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 10 mg/mL | 0.25 mL | 25 IU |
| 2 mL Standard | 5 mg/mL | 0.5 mL | 50 IU |
| 3 mL | 3.33 mg/mL | 0.75 mL | 75 IU |
| 5 mL | 2 mg/mL | 1.25 mL | 125 IU |
Dose volume at the standard 5 mg/mL concentration
How draw volume changes if you vary the dose at the standard 10 mg + 2 mL reconstitution.
| Dose | Volume | IU draw (100u) |
|---|---|---|
| 1.25 mg | 0.25 mL | 25 IU |
| 2.5 mg Std | 0.5 mL | 50 IU |
| 3.75 mg | 0.75 mL | 75 IU |
| 5 mg | 1 mL | 100 IU |
| 7.5 mg | 1.5 mL | 150 IU |
Reconstitution steps
- Wipe the top of both the VK2735 vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with alcohol swabs.
- Draw 2 mL of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe.
- Inject the water slowly down the inside glass wall of the VK2735 vial. Do not aim directly at the powder.
- Swirl gently until fully dissolved. Never shake.
- Refrigerate at 2-8°C protected from light. Allow to reach room temperature before each draw.
Supplies needed
- VK2735 10 mg lyophilized vial
- 2 mL bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol)
- 100-unit (1 mL) U-100 insulin syringe
- Alcohol swabs
- Sharps container for disposal
Frequently asked
How much BAC water do I add to a 10 mg VK2735 vial?
For the standard ASCEND research protocol, add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 10 mg VK2735 vial. This yields 5 mg/mL.
What concentration does 2 mL BAC water give for 10 mg VK2735?
A 10 mg VK2735 vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water yields 5 mg/mL. A 2.5 mg dose then requires 0.5 mL (50 IU on a 100-unit insulin syringe).
Can I use sterile water instead of bacteriostatic water for VK2735?
Bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) is preferred because it inhibits bacterial growth and allows multi-dose use of the reconstituted vial. Sterile water lacks preservative properties and accelerates peptide degradation once the vial is opened.
How long is VK2735 stable once reconstituted with BAC water?
Most research peptides remain stable for approximately 28 days when reconstituted with bacteriostatic water and stored at 2-8°C protected from light. Refer to peptide-specific stability data for any deviation from this baseline.
What size insulin syringe should I use for VK2735?
For a 2.5 mg dose (50 IU draw), a 50-unit (0.5 mL) or 100-unit U-100 insulin syringe is appropriate.
Can I transport reconstituted VK2735?
Keep it cold in transit. An insulated bag or small cooler with an ice pack holds the 2-8°C range for several hours, which covers most day trips or drives. For longer travel, pack it the same way you would any refrigerated medication, and get it back into a fridge as soon as you arrive. Extended time at room temperature shortens the ~28-day stability window.
