Storage Requirements
Lyophilized (Freeze-Dried)
Unopened peptides in powder form
-20°C
Freezer storage
Can be stored for 2+ years when kept frozen and protected from light.
Reconstituted
Peptides mixed with bacteriostatic water
2-8°C
Refrigerator storage
Use within 4-8 weeks depending on the specific peptide.
Storage Best Practices
Keep peptides away from direct light - use amber vials when possible
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles - aliquot into smaller portions if needed
Store in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption
Label all vials with peptide name, concentration, and reconstitution date
Keep a temperature log for research documentation
Use sterile technique when handling to prevent contamination
What to Avoid
- • Room temperature storage for extended periods
- • Direct sunlight or UV exposure
- • Repeated freeze-thaw cycles
- • Contamination from non-sterile equipment
- • Using tap water for reconstitution
