GHK-Cu Reconstitution Calculator
For in vitro research use only · Not medical advice
Preset to a 100 mg GHK-Cu vial in 5 mL of diluent. A 100 mg vial in 5 mL gives 20 mg/mL. The solution should be a clear, even blue — use neutral or slightly alkaline diluent only.
GHK-Cu reconstitution
Preset to a common GHK-Cu vial size and diluent volume. Adjust any field for your own laboratory protocol.
A 100 mg GHK-Cu vial reconstituted with 5 mL gives 20 mg/mL. Measuring 0.050 mL gives 1,000 mcg per portion — about 100 portions from the vial.
Choosing a diluent for GHK-Cu
Freely water-soluble, and unmistakable: GHK-Cu solutions are a distinct blue. That colour is the copper(II) coordination itself, which makes this the one compound here whose integrity you can partly assess by eye. A properly reconstituted vial gives a clear, evenly blue solution.
Handling notes for GHK-Cu
- Never reconstitute in acidic diluent — low pH dissociates the copper complex.
- Keep chelating agents such as EDTA out of any buffer used with this compound.
- Treat colour change as a discard signal: clear blue is correct, pale or green is not.
- Avoid contact with reducing agents, which will reduce Cu(II) to Cu(I) and collapse the complex.
After reconstitution
USP-grade sterile bacteriostatic water, 10 mL multi-use vial.
