ARA-290 RECONSTITUTION ?
-
ara can be a bit finnicky. First use hospira. if you don't have that none of this applies.
Both the bac and pep should be at room temp. Thats it...
Ive had batches from jenny on whatsapp gel before but that was a source issue. Anyone telling you that you need AA for any of these compounds is selling garbage.

Might bite the bullet - man up & purchase my first ever bottle of Hospira ready for it just in case.

Thanks guys - so sounds more like a quality of BAC water thing more than a don’t use BAC thing like most peps really.
I can get it here - just never bothered as I haven’t had problems with the Aussie stuff and not that concerned over pricing even though it eats me to pay more for water than the peps we mix it with

Getting stuff from the states is more difficult down here than China most of the time for more than just distance reasons too.
PS.
I’ll still do the first vial with the Aussie stuff just to see how it goes - willing to risk a vial just for science. -
Thanks for the response I have parrox which ph test closer to 7.0 than lambda which i also have.read somewhere that little higher ph is better is this correct?

Well that was a bit anti climactic - had the ARA sitting there but hadn’t received the Hospira yet so just used my Aussie brand stuff (Premium Supps) the same way I do everything else - just 1ml BAC in a 10mg vial and within 10-15 seconds it was clear as crystal so did another vial - added them both to a pen cartridges and pinned it.
PS.
In looking for Hospira BAC - it was actually easier for me to get Physer BAC which from what I understand is exactly the same just relabelled?
Hadn’t really seen that before.Bit of a shit picture but you get the idea.

I’m super curious to get some input. Likewise, I knew ARA could be finicky so while I’m waiting for my GBK kits to arrive I ordered from Instant Peptides for the first time to get a few vials of ARA to get me started. I used hospira 1ml for 10mg vial and it crystallized right away. Figuring this might happen from what I’ve read I bought their Acetic acid and tried a second vial which then gelled up. Anyway, they were helpful enough but said it requires PBS Dilluent which is news to me. I have one bottle left of theirs and just received some from my GBK order as well. Any thoughts on what to do next? Sounds like Jeff and Randy had success with room temp hospira bac water. Perhaps this was a batch issues though testing looked fine.

Yeh - this one had me worried as everything I read was so different and I was convinced I was going to stuff it up - but it seriously was crystal clear within 10-15 seconds-probably quicker than anything else I’ve used.
I was prepared to waste that vial “for science”
so was pleasantly surprised.I do always leave peps out of the fridge for 20-30 minutes before reconstituting and the same for already opened BAC (in this case I used a never been refrigerated new bottle) so they are both room temp - but other than that just did everything as per normal.
I had a few things on hand to try if it went to shit but didn’t need anything in the end.
If you aren’t using room temp BAC or vials I’d 100% do that with pretty much everything anyway.
I also usually don’t only use 1ml to recon a vial but as these were only 10mg vials I didn’t want to be injecting ridiculous amounts every day so stuck with it. -

yes, unless it is really Physer and not Phizer

@vpeptides
Hahaha - I can’t get that stupid spelling out of my system no matter how hard I try.
