Kisspeptin-10 reconstitution calculator.
Work out the concentration of a reconstituted Kisspeptin-10 vial. Presets match the 10 mg format we stock, and the reference table below is calculated for those exact vials. Research use only.
This tool reports concentration only. It is not dosing guidance, and nothing here is for human use.
Kisspeptin-10 concentration reference table
Every combination of the Kisspeptin-10 vial sizes we stock and the bacteriostatic water volumes people most often add.
| Vial | BAC water | Concentration | Per 100 µL aliquot |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 1 ml | 10 mg/ml | 1 mg (1,000 mcg) |
| 10 mg | 2 ml | 5 mg/ml | 0.5 mg (500 mcg) |
| 10 mg | 3 ml | 3.333 mg/ml | 0.333 mg (333 mcg) |
| 10 mg | 5 ml | 2 mg/ml | 0.2 mg (200 mcg) |
How the calculation works
Concentration is the mass of peptide divided by the volume of solvent. A vial holding 5 mg reconstituted with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/ml, so a 100 µL aliquot contains 0.25 mg. The powder itself adds no meaningful volume at these masses, which is why the water volume alone sets the concentration.
Handling in the Vietnamese climate
Sealed lyophilized vials are stable at room temperature in transit, which is why the material ships dry rather than cold. Once reconstituted, the solution is kept refrigerated and shielded from light. Bacteriostatic water is the usual solvent because the benzyl alcohol in it lets a vial be entered more than once.
What is Kisspeptin-10?
A ten-amino-acid fragment that sits one step above GnRH at the top of the reproductive hormone axis.
Kisspeptin-10 is the active C-terminal decapeptide of kisspeptin-54, the protein encoded by the KISS1 gene. The gene was found in 1996 in Hershey, Pennsylvania. As a metastasis suppressor, which is why the longer form is also called metastin, and why the whole family ended up named after the local chocolate.
Its place in endocrinology was settled by human genetics rather than by drug development. Loss-of-function mutations in its receptor, KISS1R (formerly GPR54), were found to cause hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Showing that kisspeptin signalling is the switch upstream of GnRH release, and therefore upstream of LH and FSH. Groups at Imperial College London and elsewhere have studied it in reproductive endocrinology since. It is not an approved medicine anywhere.

Common questions
What is Kisspeptin-10?
A ten-amino-acid fragment of the KISS1 gene product, acting on the KISS1R receptor and studied as the signal upstream of GnRH release in the reproductive axis. Listed here as a non-clinical research material only, and not approved as a medicine anywhere.
How does Kisspeptin-10 relate to HCG or PT-141?
All three touch reproductive or sexual-function research from different points. HCG acts far downstream, mimicking LH at the gonads. Kisspeptin-10 acts at the top of the axis, upstream of GnRH. PT-141 is a melanocortin peptide and works through an unrelated pathway in the central nervous system.
How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a Kisspeptin-10 vial?
There is no single correct volume. The water volume sets the concentration: more water gives a weaker solution and a larger aliquot for the same mass. Common choices are 1 to 5 ml. Enter your vial size above to see what each volume produces for 10 mg.
What concentration does a Kisspeptin-10 vial give?
It depends entirely on the solvent volume. The reference table above lists every combination of the 10 mg vial format and 1, 2, 3 and 5 ml of bacteriostatic water.
Does the powder change the final volume?
Not measurably at these masses. A few milligrams of lyophilized peptide occupies a negligible volume, so the bacteriostatic water you add is effectively the final volume.
Can I use normal water or saline instead?
Bacteriostatic water is the standard solvent for multi-entry vials because it contains a preservative. Sterile water and saline have no preservative, so they are single-entry solvents.
