Reconstitution: We recommend using sterile water for reconstitution. Add 4.7 ml sterile pure water into the vial at room temperature and mix by inverting the vial several times. Let it stand on the bench for  2-3 min and vortex 2-3 times (20-30 sec each time) at medium speed. The liposomes can be used in 10 min after reconstitution. Make sure there are no lumps or any noticeable particles. Vortex more if this occurs until homogeneous.

Sterilely reconstituted product can be stored in a refrigerator for up to 3 months (guaranteed) when handled cleanly. For best shelf-life for the reconstituted liposomes inject sterile water through the rubber stopper using a sterile syringe needle.
