Hospira 0.9% Bacteriostatic Sodium Chloride (30 mL)
-
@Commander Dissolve in a small amount of sterile water first. Maybe use a little acetic acid for the ones that are notoriously difficult to recon like AOD. (I don’t know how much aa to use unless I open a vial and pH test, which is easy enough to do.Target pH 3.0) Then fill to desired volume with saline for comfort injecting.
That’s what I’m going to do from now on except for the copper containing ones.@jennn Once again, we are talking about SS31, MotsC and NAD all of which can cause red welts. These are all fine with NACL BAC. No need to concoct anything; just buy Hospira NACL BAC. It's widely used in compounding, in IVs at the hospital to administer medications etc. It will not affect the composition of these peptides. Do not use with anything that has copper, even in a blend. For those three peptides, it is fine and even recommended for compounding.

@Commander Yours is buffered the one I got Grey is not.

@Eleanor I think NAD would be the safest to use with saline. I mean, they give it to people in bags of saline all the time as an IV in wellness clinics.
It’s the initial reconstitution that I question. Once in solution, I’m sure it’s fine to dilute up to volume with saline. But there’s a reason most lyophilized compounds are reconstituted in water. They likely need a lower pH than saline to get into solution initially.

@jennn Jenn Hospira NACL BAC is the very same PH as Hospira BAC.
Not too sure about that but I don't need to use it on my NAD+ buffered, nor do I see any instructions to do so on any protocol. In fact, there are a couple I've seen that say not to use it if NAD is already buffered. I'm no expert but I don't need it, I use it for other ones that leave a welt/sting.

Well I was told by “Emma” it was buffered, but it does sting a bit. Can’t trust the vendors to tell the truth anyway..
@Commander Crap maybe mine is too. I used the NACL BAC and it s really nice no reaction at all not even a little itching. The NAD buffered from Nexaph gave me no issues so I didn’t use it on that. The Emma stuff different story it works nice with NACL without it nice red mark.
-
I want to know i it works with Cartalax. As one poster described it as 'spicy'. No kidding! Going to read up on it and probably burn a 10mg with it. No other way to know.
@stevepep @commander For the record, the buffered stings me slightly using regular BAC if I inject too fast but easily tolerable; no where near the sting that unbuff has.

Perfect, I forgot you got it from Emma too… as soon as my Nacl comes in I will be trying it with the Nad+ from Emma too

So mine came in today. I am going to try it for: Mots-C, SS-31, NAD
Keep My Regular Hospira Bac for:
KLOW
Tesa/IPA
RetaIf I read correctly, those you need regular BAC for.. but who knows, this stuff confuses me
@Commander Yes give it a shot just on SS31, NAD and MOTSC
Even if the NAD is buffered.
Buffered NAD+ is the situation where NaCl BAC is the preferred general choice: use a pharmaceutical-grade bacteriostatic 0.9% sodium-chloride diluent.
The buffer addresses NAD+’s acidity, which is usually the main cause of sting. NaCl BAC can help with the local osmotic/dispersion component, so it may reduce welting or irritation, but it is not a substitute for a properly buffered NAD+ formulation.

We got the NAD from the same place at the same time, if it is working for you it should work for me!!

@Commander exactly!!! It’s good too lol

Question - would adding PBS (Phosphate Buffered Saline) to BAC work? I see that recommended for ARA-290 (75-80% PBS/20-25% BAC) and was curious about whether is might also make sense in the context of this discussion?
-
I'm going to have to burn a 500 vial of my buffered to see if this works. Ya never know... Wonder if it works on Tirz, Cagri, Survo, TA1, and esp. Cartalax?
-
@Commander Must be nice, El Capitan! LOL! Please let us know how it goes. Truly, I mean that, do let us know. It'll be next week before I can do anything with regard to reconn. Too much to do on this end...
-
I reconed Mots-C, SS-31 and My NAD+ (Supposedly Buffered) with this and it didn't have a problem. I took all three shots already, the NAD didn't sting as much. I will let you know if I have bumps tomorrow. Normally it takes weeks for these hard bumps to go away with regular BAC, so we will see...
