Starter Kit

Starter Kit — Bacteriostatic Water + Sterile Syringes + Alcohol Swabs Lab Supplies Bundle

Peptide Starter Kit is supplied in Australia by Omega Peptides Australia from domestic stock, with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 12pm. Also searched as peptide kit or reconstitution kit, it provides the consumables needed to reconstitute and measure a research peptide.

The Starter Kit is a single-order set of the sterile consumables needed to reconstitute one lyophilised research peptide vial and draw from it over the following weeks: one 3mL vial of bacteriostatic water, five 1mL sterile insulin syringes and two alcohol swabs. It contains no peptide. Researchers usually search for it as a peptide starter kit, a reconstitution kit or a lab supplies kit.

Each component covers one step of the reconstitution workflow. The alcohol swabs clean the rubber septa of the diluent and peptide vials before the needle passes through. The bacteriostatic water, sterile water preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, dissolves the lyophilised powder and keeps the resulting solution bacteriostatic across repeated draws. The 1mL syringes, graduated in U-100 units of 0.01mL, measure the diluent going in and the aliquots coming out.

Omega Peptides Australia supplies the Starter Kit as the companion bundle to its high-purity (≥99% HPLC), COA-verified lyophilised research peptides. Orders are dispatched same day from within Australia when placed before 12pm, and the batch Certificates of Analysis for every peptide the kit is used with are published in the COA library.

What is included

• 1 × 3mL bacteriostatic water, sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol preservative in a sealed vial with a resealable septum. Sold separately as the 3mL Bacteriostatic Water vial for $14.99.
• 10 × 1mL sterile insulin syringes, fixed-needle U-100 syringes, individually sealed and single use. Sold separately as the 1mL Insulin Needles 5 Pack for $15.99.
• 2 × alcohol swabs, individually sealed sachets for wiping vial septa before each puncture. Not listed separately on the site.

Key research areas

• Tissue-repair research Peptides such as BPC-157 and TB-500 are supplied as 10mg lyophilised vials that dissolve readily in bacteriostatic water. The kit's 3mL vial reconstitutes one such vial with diluent to spare.
• Skin and collagen research GHK-Cu is supplied in 50mg and 100mg vials and is often reconstituted at higher volumes; the kit covers a 50mg vial, and the 10mL bacteriostatic water is the better match for 100mg.
• Growth hormone secretagogue research Ipamorelin, Sermorelin and the CJC-1295 No DAC and Ipamorelin blend are drawn in small aliquots for in-vitro secretagogue assays, where the 0.01mL syringe resolution earns its place.
• Metabolic research Incretin-pathway peptides such as Tirzepatide and Retatrutide are studied at low concentrations, so a single vial is reconstituted once and sampled many times over 28 days, exactly the pattern the preserved diluent and five syringes are designed for.
• Nootropic peptide research Semax and Selank are short heptapeptides handled in small volumes for receptor and cell-culture models, and the kit brings a vial into solution cleanly.

Why these are supplied together

Reconstitution is a short aseptic procedure with three failure points: a contaminated septum, an inaccurate volume and an unpreserved solution. The kit addresses each with a purpose-made item. The swabs remove surface contamination from the rubber stoppers so the needle does not carry it into the vial. The preserved diluent means the trace contamination that accompanies repeated needle entry is held in check by benzyl alcohol rather than left to grow in a nutrient-rich peptide solution. The fine-scale syringes let the researcher hit the planned concentration on the first attempt, which matters when the peptide vial is the expensive part of the experiment.

The quantities suit a single-vial study. A 3mL diluent vial reconstitutes one 10mg peptide vial at any common volume with enough left for a dilution step. Five syringes cover the reconstitution draw and four aliquots, and two swabs cover both septa. Laboratories running several peptides or a longer series should add the 10mL bacteriostatic water and the 10 pack of syringes, or choose a peptide-inclusive bundle from the kits and bundles collection.

Specifications

Available sizes and pricing

The Starter Kit is a single fixed configuration at $39.99. Bought individually, the 3mL bacteriostatic water is $14.99 and the 5 pack of 1mL syringes is $15.99, a combined $30.98; the alcohol swabs are not sold separately. The kit is priced as a convenience item with the swabs included rather than as a discounted bundle, so researchers who only need water and syringes may prefer to order those two products directly.

Quality and COA verification

Every research peptide supplied by Omega Peptides Australia is independently tested by Janoshik Analytical, with HPLC purity and mass spectrometry identity reported on a Certificate of Analysis for each batch, and those documents are published in the COA library. The kit components are consumables rather than analytes, so they carry sterility assurance instead of a peptide COA: the water is sterile-filled under a tamper-evident cap, each syringe is sterilised and sealed in its own wrapper with a capped needle, and the swabs are individually sealed. Any item with a broken seal should be discarded. The kit travels intact by domestic post and needs no cold chain.

Frequently bought together

• Bacteriostatic Water (10mL), $29.99, the larger diluent vial for laboratories reconstituting several peptides.
• 1mL Insulin Needles (10 Pack), $19.99, extra sterile syringes for longer sampling series.
• BPC-157 (10mg), $99.99, a water-soluble pentadecapeptide that the kit reconstitutes in a single step.
• GHK-Cu (50mg), $89.99, a copper tripeptide for skin and collagen research models.

Frequently asked questions

What is in the Starter Kit?
The kit contains one 3mL vial of bacteriostatic water, five 1mL sterile insulin syringes and two alcohol swabs, each individually sealed. It does not contain a peptide. Together the three items cover septum preparation, reconstitution of a lyophilised vial and the measured draws that follow.

What is bacteriostatic water?
Bacteriostatic water is sterile, purified water preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The preservative inhibits bacterial growth, so a vial can be entered repeatedly over 28 days, and it contains no salts or buffers that would interfere with a peptide solution. It is the diluent recommended on every research peptide page at Omega Peptides Australia.

Do I need bacteriostatic water and syringes?
Yes, if the peptide will be used in solution. Lyophilised peptides are a dry powder that must be dissolved before any in-vitro work, and a preserved sterile diluent is the standard choice when the vial will be drawn from more than once. Fine-scale syringes are needed to measure the diluent and aliquots accurately.

How much do I save with the bundle?
The Starter Kit is a convenience bundle rather than a discount bundle. At $39.99 it costs more than the 3mL bacteriostatic water ($14.99) and the 5 pack of syringes ($15.99) bought separately, with the two alcohol swabs, which are not sold on their own, making up the difference. Choose it for a complete one-line order with swabs included.

Can I buy the items separately?
Yes. The bacteriostatic water is available on its own in 3mL and 10mL vials, and the 1mL insulin needles are sold in 5 and 10 packs, both listed above. Alcohol swabs are not listed as a separate product, so the kit is currently the only way to include them in an order.

Can I buy a peptide starter kit at Chemist Warehouse or a pharmacy in Australia?
Not as a kit. Pharmacies sell syringes and swabs individually, but they do not sell a reconstitution kit assembled for peptide research, and they do not stock research-grade bacteriostatic water alongside them. Omega Peptides Australia supplies the set as laboratory consumables for research use.

Can Australian compounding pharmacies supply a reconstitution kit?
Compounding pharmacies supply consumables and diluents to their own clinical customers under pharmacy regulation, but they do not sell a research reconstitution kit. Research suppliers such as Omega Peptides Australia supply the water, syringes and swabs as laboratory consumables for reconstituting research peptides, a separate purpose from pharmacy dispensing.

How do you reconstitute a peptide with the Starter Kit?
Swab the septa of both vials, draw the planned volume of bacteriostatic water into a syringe and add it slowly down the inside wall of the peptide vial rather than onto the powder. Swirl gently until clear, never shake, then label the vial, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use the solution within 28 days.

How should the Starter Kit be stored?
Keep the unopened kit on a dry shelf at room temperature, ideally 20–25°C, away from direct light, and do not freeze the water. After the water vial is first punctured, keep it capped and use it within 28 days. Syringes and swabs stay sterile only while their seals are intact.

Where can I buy a peptide starter kit in Australia?
Omega Peptides Australia holds the Starter Kit in domestic stock and dispatches same day on orders placed before 12pm, with tracked delivery Australia-wide. It is stocked to pair with the COA-verified lyophilised peptides in the research peptides collection, so the peptide and every consumable arrive together.

What does the Starter Kit cost in Australia?
The Starter Kit is $39.99 for one 3mL bacteriostatic water vial, five 1mL sterile syringes and two alcohol swabs. For comparison, the 3mL water alone is $14.99, the 10mL water is $29.99, and syringes are $15.99 for 5 or $19.99 for 10, so larger sets can be built from those lines.

How do I get the Starter Kit online in Australia?
Add the Starter Kit to the cart on this page together with the research peptide it will be used for, then check out. Orders placed before 12pm are dispatched the same business day from within Australia in discreet packaging, with a tracking number emailed once the parcel is lodged.

Is the Starter Kit legal in Australia?
Omega Peptides Australia supplies the Starter Kit strictly for lawful in-vitro laboratory research. It is supplied as laboratory consumables, not for human or veterinary use, and is not sold as a medicine or supplement. Purchasers are responsible for ensuring their intended use complies with all applicable laws.

Which peptides does the Starter Kit suit?
Any single lyophilised vial reconstituted at up to about 3mL, which covers the 10mg vials of BPC-157, TB-500, Ipamorelin, Semax and most of the catalogue, as well as 50mg GHK-Cu. For 100mg GHK-Cu, several vials at once or a long sampling series, add the 10mL bacteriostatic water and a 10 pack of syringes.
