I'll be having GLYX-13 soon.. Solubility is low; any way to improve it?

Title says most of it. Solubility is 2mg/ml water I found, however I can't imagine it being so low. I'll be administering s.c. injections; is there any way to improve solubility so I can lower the amount of injections to be administered?
I'm going to try to dissolve it at 10mg/ml in bacteriostatic water, though if that doesn't work, would it be such a bad idea to inject the resulting solution with its undissolved fine particles? I'd imagine this would be unadvisable for IV, but I'm talking subcutaneous, and I won't do it if the particles are chunky.
edit: Why the downvotes? Jealous? :O

Unfortunately, I believe I will be receiving it in powdered form (though it's contaminent-free), and it will be exposed to open air. I didn't think this to be too much of a problem initially. I figure I'd use a sealable sterile container to prepare the solution in, a sterile scoop, and a sterile stirrer. And suffice to say the appropriate personal hygeine requirements will be met. If there's any other way to minimize infection then please share, though I'd think this to be sufficient.
BTW geodique, my use is in no way meant to be recreational.

Well that is definitely not how I would have requested it from the supplier. It's a peptide, so it should be supplied in a sealed bacteria-free vial like we do our Selank. Also, If exposed to moisture in the air, it will start to degrade. This is because the peptide bonds are subjected to hydrolysis.
