Diluting peptides with DMSO

[blueflare]

Hi guys - I'm new to the peptide scene, so please forgive my noobish ignorance.

Anyway, I've got a really hydrophobic custom peptide (in acetate salt format) that I'd like to dilute down with DMSO (won't dilute without this) and saline so I can safely inject it. I just need to know the best and most sterile way I should be doing this...

Should I add the DMSO directly to the acetate salt first, and THEN add the saline to this mixture - or vice versa?
Also, can anyone recommend me ratio estimates to mix my peptide salt with saline and -- if anyone is experienced with it -- with DMSO? Keep in mind that I want to IM 40mg of the peptide salt as a standard dose.

What sort of containers do you guys use to mix your peptide salts with BAC water/saline in? It may sound Junky-ish, but would a sterilised metal dish/spoon (soaked with boiling hot water lol) work?

Thanks all.

you use a sterile vial. idk really anything about this peptide and ive used quite a few.

BlueFlare, you wouldn't happen to be talking about Fat Targetted Proapoptotic Peptide (adipotide) would you?

Do you or anyone else have any expericence with this peptide? “Adipotide”
