Peptide stuck to bottom of vial

**raj1** · 01-24-2014, 06:33 PM

So I just got some more tb500 for research purposes, but one out of the four vials has the peptide stuck to the bottom of the vial, almost like a pressed tablet. When I try to agitate the vial to get it to move, it doesn't. It's almost like a miniature puck of ice rather than regular powder like normal peptides. Is this still safe to use?

that's how it supposed to be, cake not powder.

Why is only one of them stuck together like that? The other ones do clump together when agitated, but they're not caked on the bottom of the vial, unable to move even if shaken.

I've probably purchased two dozen vials of TB. hockey puck. I won't worry about a stuck hockey puck. when you reconstitute it, it will dissolve almost immediately.

That's how lyophilized powder is supposed to be. I'd be concerned if the powder weren't compressed into a puck.

My thoughts exactly.

Over a dozen and I can second this.

Let us know how your TB500 cycle turns out.

Thanks for the clarification, and will do Scotch. I'm coming into my second week this week. First week was 6mg split into three 2mg injections. Running a bit behind for my second week as my slin pins I ordered last Tuesday still haven't shipped for whatever reason, but I'm pretty pissed about it either way since it's throwing off my plan.

Hopefully I didn't only get one good tb500 out of eight... haha. Four from ar-r , four from evo, only one hockey puck out of the eight. That one was from evo.
