Accidentally reconstituted GHK CU with sterile water, still good to use?

Summary

Is GHK-Cu still usable after accidentally reconstituting with sterile water instead of bac water?

A user ruined a vial by using sterile water by mistake and assumed it was useless. Replies indicated copper's antimicrobial properties make it probably fine to use anyway, with one person planning to inject despite a paler color. Suggestions focused on alcohol cleaning between punctures and noting possible extra stinging from the pH difference.

I feel like cutting my testicles off. I just wrecked an entire 50mg vial of ghk cu because I was hurrying and grabbed sterile water instead of bac without noticing. Guessing that vial is useless now.

It puzzles me what impact removing the testes could have on ghk-cu levels. Still, if someone planned to go through with that step, getting an opinion from a surgeon first seems necessary to me. Some tasks can be handled alone without much problem, but this one clearly cannot.

Copper fights bacteria and other microbes so I'd keep using it regardless.

The blue is paler than when done with bac water lol. Fuck it, gonna inject it.

Ah, got it. That probably means no issues then. Someone out there tends to suggest regular sterile water when planning to finish the batch in under a month, due to the lack of bacteriostatic water in many European areas. I could be mistaken on the details, so expect confirmation from another user soon.

I ended up okay after everything. Wiping the spot using alcohol prior to and following every shot worked well. This one tends to cause some burning. It seems possibly stronger without the liquid changing the acidity a bit.
