Small chunks in my vials — is this normal?

[Mademoiselle]

I could use some guidance. My very first peptide order just showed up, and a few of the vials contain little chunks. Is that something to worry about, or is it expected?

One more thing I wanted to ask: I'd like to do the reconstruction inside the vial, but these vials are quite small — 3 ml likely won't fit. What's your method for this? I haven't come across anything about it on here so far.

From what I can tell, the cake appears to have broken apart somewhat. To advise on reconstitution, we'd first need to know the substance and its strength in mg.

The way it mixes back up is what counts, not whether the puck arrived broken. Almost every research peptide is supplied in 3 ml vials, and for the majority of them that size is really all that's required.

To me, that clearly appears to be a 3ml vial, and 3ml will fit without any problem.

Almost every vial I have looks like this. I'm seeing very few whole pucks these days. They're all fine, though. And 3ml BAC in there is fine.
