    I am looking to research ARA-290 and so far 2 different vendors have told me it needs to be mixed with PBS which I know from reading here it only needs bac. I had hoped to grab 2 vials from Miles High since they have a sale plus I have a $25 coupon and can stack coupons. Sadly their AI told me for best results mix with PBS. Their listing page has a note saying Must Be Mixed with Sterile Water. Anyone know of a good supplier that isn't saying this?

      Why does it matter what the suppliers AI bot says? It's all research just buy it from your trusted supplier and do your research.

      Just someone with a fridge full of research and a browser history that would concern my doctor.

        I used ARA-290 from Peptide Crafters, I warmed it up to the room temperature and used Hospira BAC, and it dissolved well. Recently I used ARA-290 from Southern Aminos, I didn't wait much after taking it from freezer and it clogged. I left it overnight and it didn't help. Then I added some PBS to it and it cleared. Also I used Uther ARA-290 and had no clogging issue.

          @BeeKind I had clicked the contact us chat button to ask what they recommend to use for mixing their vial. Their page says sterile water which had put doubt in my mind about ordering. Instead of a person I got their chatbot AI thus the reason I posted that their AI said. I don't want to buy a whole kit from Nexaph, my reliable source, only to find out there is an allergy reaction. Usually when researching I buy 1 vial from a reputable company to test before buying a kit. My reason for posting this is I keep seeing people have gelling issues on other forums then being told to mix PBS or other things with it. I found a post on here that said if a company is telling you to mix anything but BAC with it then it's a bad vial.

            @michellefouch I don't think they can tell you how to reconstitute though - because it's not sold for human or animal use it would be a liability if they told you how to research a research item. Most of them are steering away from giving anything other than COA and pricing because of this.

                    Never had an issue with reconstituting ARA with Hospira BAC. I have used from Peptidology, Oros, and EZ.

                      Ask mile high if theres is buffered. If buffered can use bac. Nexaph and uther buffered so bac water works fine for them. Since Ezpeptides = nexaph, would get one from there to try

                            For Unbuffered- when you add BAC water (which is unbuffered and acidic) it shifts the peptides electrical charge.

                            Because ARA-290 doesn't like water to begin with, this acidic shift can cause the molecules to bind and make a nice clumped up gel!

                            But if Buffered by manufacturer you can use BAC all day every day.

                              @PeptideEd My wife ran a full kit of Nexaph Ara-290 earlier this year. Reconned with Bac water. It did try to gel a bit if I put too many vials into one pen but adding more water got it into solution. I didn’t lose any vials.

                                I ran ARA-290 from Peptidology using just Hospira Bac water. Never had an issue. I can highly recommend them.

                                      With the Nexaph ARA I’ve only had problems with gelling when I tried to recon 1ml bac to a 10mg vial. After following Randy’s suggestion of using more bac water, 1.5-2ml, I’ve had zero issues reconstituting.

                                      Follows research backed science, not “trust me” bro’s.
