Keeping accurate vial records is the safest way to ensure you are always dosing from a viable, in-date preparation. PEPEtide tracks each physical vial from the moment it arrives through its full reconstituted lifespan. Concentration is calculated automatically from the values you enter, and the app warns you seven days before a vial expires so you have time to prepare a replacement.

Add a vial

1

Open the Add Vial form

Navigate to Vial Manager in the main menu and select Add Vial.
2

Select the peptide

Choose the peptide this vial contains from your personal library. If the peptide is not listed, add it to your library first.
3

Enter the vial size

Type the amount of peptide in the vial and choose the unit — mg or mcg. This is the dry-powder content printed on the vial label (for example, 5 mg).
4

Enter the received date

Record the date the vial arrived. This creates a traceable timeline for batch tracking.
5

Add a batch number (optional)

Enter the batch or lot number from the vial or packaging. Useful if you ever need to cross-reference multiple vials from the same order.
6

Record reconstitution (optional at first)

If you have already reconstituted the vial, enter:
  • Bacteriostatic water added — the exact volume in mL you injected into the vial
  • Reconstitution date — the date you added the water
You can leave these blank and fill them in later when you reconstitute.
As soon as you save a reconstitution date, the app calculates and stores an expiration date automatically.
7

Save the vial

Tap Save Vial. The vial appears in your active vials list with concentration displayed immediately if you provided bacteriostatic water data.

Automatic concentration calculation

When you enter both a vial size and a bacteriostatic water volume, PEPEtide computes the concentration for you:
Concentration (mg/mL) = Vial Size (mg) ÷ Bacteriostatic Water (mL)
Example: A 5 mg vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water yields a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL. This value is stored against the vial and used by the reconstitution calculator and protocol builder whenever you reference this vial.
Choosing a water volume that gives a round concentration (1 mg/mL, 2 mg/mL, 2.5 mg/mL) makes syringe measurement simpler. The reconstitution calculator can suggest optimal volumes for your vial size.

Automatic expiration tracking

Once you record a reconstitution date, the app calculates the expiration date as 6 weeks (42 days) after that date. This matches the standard guidance for reconstituted peptides stored in a refrigerator with bacteriostatic water.
Expiration Date = Reconstitution Date + 42 days
This 6-week default is a general reference figure. The actual shelf life of a reconstituted peptide depends on storage conditions, the peptide itself, and your supplier’s guidance. Always verify with a qualified professional.

Expiration warnings

The app monitors all active vials and displays alerts in two stages:

7-day warning

A yellow warning appears on the dashboard when a vial will expire within 7 days. Prepare a replacement vial so your protocol is not interrupted.

Expired

A red alert appears once a vial’s expiration date has passed. The vial remains visible so you can deactivate it cleanly, but do not dose from it.

Update a vial after reconstitution

If you saved a vial before reconstituting it, open the vial entry and tap Edit. Add the bacteriostatic water volume and reconstitution date. The concentration and expiration date will be recalculated and saved immediately.

Mark a vial inactive or delete it

When a vial is fully depleted or you decide to discard it:
Open the vial entry and toggle Active to off. The vial moves out of your active list but remains in your history. Associated protocols and dose logs are preserved.
