AOD-9604 Reconstitution

How to mix AOD-9604 and read the exact units to draw. Enter your vial size and bacteriostatic water below for the concentration and dose on a U-100 insulin syringe.

How to reconstitute AOD-9604

  1. Swab the rubber stopper of the AOD-9604 vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with an alcohol wipe.
  2. Draw your chosen volume of bacteriostatic water into a syringe (1 to 3 ml is common).
  3. Inject the water slowly down the inside wall of the AOD-9604 vial, not directly onto the powder.
  4. Swirl gently until the powder fully dissolves. Do not shake. Shaking can damage the peptide.
  5. Refrigerate and use within about 4 to 6 weeks.

AOD-9604 concentration by water volume

For a 5 mg vial, the concentration depends only on how much bacteriostatic water you add. More water lowers the concentration and makes small doses easier to measure.

AOD-9604 units to draw

At 2,500 mcg/ml (a 5 mg vial in 2 ml of bacteriostatic water), here is the draw for common doses on a U-100 insulin syringe. Change any number in the calculator above for your own vial.

AOD-9604 dosing

Clinical trials for obesity did not show strong efficacy versus placebo, which is an important caveat often left out of community discussion. Enter your own vial size, water volume, and target dose in the calculator above to convert any AOD-9604 protocol into exact insulin-syringe units. For the full profile, see the AOD-9604 compound page.

Storing reconstituted AOD-9604

Once mixed, keep AOD-9604 refrigerated at 2 to 8 degrees C and use it within about 4 to 6 weeks. Store unopened lyophilised powder in the freezer. Protect from light and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which degrade the peptide.

AOD-9604 reconstitution FAQ

How do you reconstitute AOD-9604?

Draw bacteriostatic water into a syringe, inject it slowly down the inside wall of the AOD-9604 vial, and swirl gently until the powder dissolves. Do not shake. The concentration is the vial size in mg times 1,000, divided by the millilitres of water you added.

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to AOD-9604?

There is no single correct amount. 1 to 3 ml per vial is common. More water makes small doses easier to measure. A 5 mg vial in 2 ml gives 2,500 mcg/ml. The calculator shows the concentration for any volume you choose.

How many units of AOD-9604 do I draw?

Units to draw equals your dose in mcg divided by the concentration in mcg/ml, times 100 on a U-100 insulin syringe. At 2,500 mcg/ml, a 250 mcg dose is 10 units.

How do you store reconstituted AOD-9604?

Keep reconstituted AOD-9604 refrigerated at 2 to 8 degrees C and use it within about 4 to 6 weeks. Store the unopened lyophilised powder in the freezer. Protect from light and avoid repeated freeze-thaw.
