- Blunt-Tip Draw Needle
- 18-gauge, 1.5-inch, Luer-lock
- Reconstitution only. Prevents rubber coring during bacteriostatic water draw
- Essential for multi-dose vial protocols; beveled needles create contamination risk
- Insulin Syringe (Integrated)
- 27–30 gauge, 0.5–1.0mL, fixed needle
- Subcutaneous administration. Eliminates dead space
- Optimal for peptides under 1.0mL per dose; dead space <0.001mL ensures dosing accuracy
- Luer-Lock Syringe (Detachable)
- 3mL capacity, detachable hub
- Reconstitution with blunt-tip needle attachment
- Required for blunt-tip compatibility; not recommended for administration due to dead space
- Alcohol Prep Pads
- 70% isopropyl alcohol, sterile-packaged
- Vial stopper sterilization pre-draw
- 30-second contact time required; ethanol wipes lack adequate microbicidal efficacy
- Sharps Container
- Puncture-resistant, leak-proof, closable
- Safe disposal of all used needles and syringes
- OSHA-compliant disposal mandatory even in non-clinical research; household containers fail safety standards
