A small glass or plastic container used to store lyophilized or reconstituted peptides. Typically sealed with a rubber stopper and aluminum crimp cap.
"Vial" is filed under Preparation in the PeptideAtlas glossary, alongside 12 other terms in that group.
The term applies directly to 1 compound profile here: Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium (evidence B). Each profile states the strength of the human evidence rather than only what the compound is claimed to do.
2 other glossary entries refer to this term in their own definition, which is usually the fastest way to see how it is used in practice.
A single vial containing two or more peptides pre-mixed by the supplier. Differs from a stack where each peptide is in its own vial. Common blends include BPC-157 + TB-500 and CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin.
A sugar alcohol commonly used as a bulking agent and cryoprotectant in lyophilized peptide formulations. It forms the visible powder cake in the vial and helps protect the peptide during the freeze-drying process.
Sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. Used to reconstitute lyophilized peptides. Unlike sterile water, it inhibits bacterial growth and allows multi-dose use.
Water that has been sterilized and contains no preservatives. Unlike bacteriostatic water, it does not inhibit bacterial growth and should be used for single-dose preparations only.
Compounds where this applies: Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium.
Terms that reference this one: Peptide Blend, Mannitol.
