iostatic water serves two critical functions: it reconstitutes your peptide,=
 and it preserves it during storage. Two parameters determine whether it doe=

><strong>pH</strong><span> affects peptide stability at the molecular level.=
 Most peptides are stable in a mildly acidic environment (roughly 4.0=E2=80=93=
7.0 per USP standards). When pH climbs above 7.0 into alkaline territory, yo=
u create conditions that accelerate hydrolysis and degradation. High pH also=
 destabilizes certain peptide bonds and can cause aggregation =E2=80=94 whic=
h is exactly what you=E2=80=99re seeing when your vial goes cloudy or gels u=
p after reconstitution. That cloudiness isn=E2=80=99t harmless particulate. I=
n many cases it=E2=80=99s aggregated or partially degraded peptide. You=E2=80=
