Can I use bac water for cjc 1295 if some igf-1 got mixed in the bac?

ad

Hi everyone, I have a doubt that I want to clear up and hopefully someone can advise me. Okay so I have this vial of bac water that I want to use for my cjc-1295 dac run but there is an issue; I ran igf-1 lr3 a while back and used this same vial of bac water to dilute the acetic acid in the igf-1 in order to avoid necrosis and/or PIP. However, a few of the times in which I did this I accidentally ended up injecting a few drops of igf-1 into the bac water. This happened about 6 months ago.

My concern/question is: Can I still use this bac water to reconstitute the Cjc-1295 dac? Or is it now useless?

Thanks for reading, cheers.

The Igf in the bac water has most likely broken down by now. It would not react with the CJC-1295 anyway. No need to worry about that part of it. But like rusty said there may have been some contamination there. Trust me from personal experience that you do not want an infection! Get some new bac water.

This is some info I researched just for the hell of it. It explains that you can shoot two different peptides in the same syringe without any reactions occurring. And that peptides should not be stored for too long. Also that you can prepare multiple syringes for the day as long as sterile practices are used to transport them. And why you should be gentle with your peptides while reconstituting.

Peptides are compounds formed by 2 or more amino acids that are linked together. They are linked together by what are called "peptide bonds". They are what hold the amino acids together. Peptide bonds can ONLY be broken down by two processes. 1 - Hydrolysis - The breaking down of a peptide bond by adding water. Don't freak out lol it is a VERY slow process. That is why there is a shelf life on peptides once they are reconstituted . 2 -Denaturation - which is exposing the peptides to strong bases or acids, heat, salt, shaking, radiation and solvents.

Yeah I was in a rush those times in which I did that. I ended up just ordering another one to be safe.

It might be ok since the BA is good at keeping it sterile but why risk it? A bottle of bac water is incredibly cheap. I would trash it and get a new one
