- Selecting the right supplies means understanding the functional difference between similar-looking products. What follows is a direct comparison of the core supply categories required for MOTS-c protocols.
- Reconstitution Water
- Sterile Water for Injection (single-use)
- Bacteriostatic Water 0.9% benzyl alcohol
- Refrigerate after opening; discard sterile water after single use, bacteriostatic water after 28 days
- Bacteriostatic water is non-negotiable for multi-dose vials. Sterile water supports bacterial growth within 48 hours at room temperature
- Drawing Syringe
- 3mL Luer-lock syringe + detachable 21G needle
- 3mL Luer-lock syringe + safety-engineered retractable 21G needle
- Store in original sterile packaging until use
- Safety-engineered needles prevent needlestick injuries during disposal. Worth the 15% cost premium
- Injection Syringe
- 1mL insulin syringe (25-gauge, 1-inch needle)
- 0.3mL insulin syringe (29–31 gauge, 5/16-inch needle)
- Store in original sterile packaging; single-use only
- 0.3mL syringes eliminate dead space and provide dosing precision down to 0.01mL. Essential for peptides dosed in micrograms
- Storage Vial
- 10mL clear glass vial with rubber stopper
- 10mL amber glass vial with rubber stopper and aluminum seal
- Refrigerate at 2–8°C; protect from light
- Amber glass blocks UV degradation. Clear glass acceptable only if vial is stored inside an opaque container
- Alcohol Prep Pads
- 70% isopropyl alcohol pads
- 70% isopropyl alcohol pads (individually wrapped, sterile)
- Store at room temperature in sealed packaging
- No functional difference. Individually wrapped pads prevent cross-contamination between injection sites
- Sharps Container
- Household sharps container (1-quart rigid plastic)
- FDA-cleared sharps container (1-quart, puncture-resistant, leak-proof seal)
- Store away from children and pets; seal when 3/4 full
- FDA-cleared containers meet OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards. Required for institutional research settings
