What's the accepted practice for intranasal reconstitution? Bacteriostatic water, preservative-free saline, or does it matter? Worried about both degradation and contamination with a spray bottle that sits on my desk.

Bac water is standard. The benzyl alcohol is there specifically to keep contamination down over weeks. Preservative-free saline is for single-use or very short turnaround.

Fridge storage regardless of diluent. Room-temp nasal sprays on a desk are a bad idea for anything peptide-based.

I reconstitute smaller batches (1mg of peptide at a time into ~3mL) so I burn through them in 2-3 weeks. Fewer preservation headaches than sitting on a full 5mg vial diluted.

First time reconstituting anything intranasal — this helped, thanks.
