TB500 Which syringes and sterile water?

[polynikes]

Hi everyone and thanks for helping out. I do appreciate the knowledge and experience here. I've never touched TB500 or any peptides before and am quite the newbie. Which syringe do I need for subcutaneous injections? I keep reading to use insuline syringes but when I look for them I see many different kinds and I don't know which one I need.
Also, will I need any other syringes to pull the water and inject into the vial?
And which type of sterile water is best? I see conflicting info on websites to use 1) plain sterile water 2) sterile saline (0.9% NaCl) or 3) sterile bacteriostatic water (0.9% sodium chloride).

Thanks!

Insulin syringes are common in 29g or 30g... either of those is fine. I'd go with 1/2" length - again the most common. 1cc is fine.

Regarding water:

STERILE water is for single use (you are mixing some and using it all immediately) - intramuscular or subcutaneous.
BACTERIOSTATIC water is for multiple use (has additives to keep it sterile) - intramuscular or subcutaneous
SALINE is for intravenous use (with or without bacteriostatic additives).

For a multi-use peptide solution bacteriostatic water is what you want.
