BPC-157 Reconstitution Calculator

For in vitro research use only · Not medical advice

Preset to a 10 mg BPC-157 vial in 2 mL of diluent. A 10 mg vial in 2 mL yields 5 mg/mL — a common working concentration for this compound.

A 10 mg BPC-157 vial reconstituted with 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL. Measuring 0.050 mL gives 250 mcg per portion — about 40 portions from the vial.

Choosing a diluent for BPC-157

Freely water-soluble and among the most forgiving peptides in this catalogue to reconstitute. The high proline content (five of fifteen residues) gives an extended, largely unstructured conformation with no hydrophobic core to drive aggregation, so it dissolves without acidification, sonication, or warming. Solutions are clear and colourless — persistent cloudiness indicates a handling problem, not a solubility limit.

PrimaryBacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol)
Alternative 1Sterile water (USP grade)
Alternative 2Phosphate-buffered saline

Handling notes for BPC-157

  • Let the sealed vial reach room temperature before breaking the seal — opening a cold vial draws in moist air and the lyophilized cake is hygroscopic.
  • Do not vortex. Swirl until the cake clears; the peptide dissolves in seconds without agitation.
  • Label aliquots with reconstitution date and diluent, since the working window depends on which solvent was used.

After reconstitution

StorageRefrigerate at 2–8 °C. The proline-rich backbone lacks the oxidation-prone residues (Met, Cys, Trp) that shorten the working window of other research peptides.
Working windowCommonly worked with for 3–4 weeks at 2–8 °C in bacteriostatic water.
Freeze–thawTolerates freeze–thaw better than most peptides in this catalogue, but repeated cycles still concentrate solutes at the ice interface. Aliquot on first reconstitution rather than relying on that tolerance.
