| 10 | Two quantities determine the resulting concentration: the mass of peptide actually present in the vial, and the volume of diluent added. The first is not the number printed on the label unless [[Peptide content|content]], water and fill mass are known — a vial nominally containing 5 mg may contain appreciably less peptide. See [[Underfilling]].{{r|usp1503}} | 10 | Two quantities determine the resulting concentration: the mass of peptide actually present in the vial, and the volume of diluent added.

| + | 12 | The choice of diluent determines how long the resulting solution can be regarded as usable. [[Bacteriostatic water]] contains a preservative and is used where a container will be entered more than once; [[Sterile water for injection]] contains none. Neither confers sterility on a non-sterile powder.{{r|usp797}} | |

| 13 | Diluent is directed against the vial wall rather than onto the cake. A jet striking the cake dissolves it violently, generating the air–liquid interfaces and shear at which peptides unfold and aggregate; running the liquid down the wall lets the cake dissolve from beneath.{{r|manning2010}} | 15 | Diluent is directed against the vial wall rather than onto the cake.

| 15 | Dissolution is completed by gentle swirling or by leaving the vial to stand. Shaking is the practice most likely to produce visible haze, for the same interfacial reason. A cake that has not fully dissolved after several minutes should be given time rather than agitation. | 17 | Dissolution is completed by gentle swirling or by leaving the vial to stand.

| + | 19 | Visual inspection after dissolution is informative. A clear, colourless solution free of visible particles is the expected result; haze, particles or fibrous material indicate that the material has changed, whatever the certificate said about the powder.
