Cartalax Protocol Guide — Path To Peptides

Protocol Overview

Reconstitution Instructions

Using 2mL of bacteriostatic water results in a concentration of 5mg/mL. Typically used in 10-day cycles. Always use sterile techniques.

Materials Needed

10mg Cartalax 10mg vial (lyophilized powder)

2mL bacteriostatic water (sterile, preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol)

Sterile syringe and needle (18-22 gauge for drawing)

Alcohol swabs

Clean workspace

Step-by-Step Process

Preparation: Allow the Cartalax 10mg vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature. Wipe the rubber stoppers of both vials with an alcohol swab.

Draw the Water: Using a sterile syringe, draw up exactly 2mL of bacteriostatic water. Expel any air bubbles.

Inject into Vial: Insert the needle through the rubber stopper at a slight angle, aiming toward the glass wall. Slowly inject the water down the side of the vial to avoid foaming.

Mix Gently: Remove the needle. Gently swirl or roll the vial between your hands. Do not shake vigorously.

Check for Clarity: The solution should be clear once fully reconstituted. Do not use if cloudy.
