Storage & Handling
Temperature Recommendations
For optimal long-term stability, keep lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides stored at -20°C (-4°F) or below until needed.
After reconstitution, store solutions refrigerated between 2°C and 8°C (36°F–46°F) and avoid exposing products to elevated temperatures or prolonged heat whenever possible.
Reconstitution Guidelines
Reconstitute peptides using Bacteriostatic Water or Sterile Water for Injection, depending on your laboratory protocol.
For best results:
- Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening.
- Slowly introduce the solution down the inside wall of the vial.
- Avoid directing liquid forcefully onto the peptide cake.
- Gently swirl the vial until fully dissolved.
- Do not shake vigorously, as excessive agitation may affect delicate peptide structures.
Light & Moisture Protection
To help preserve product quality:
- Store peptides away from direct sunlight.
- Protect vials from excessive humidity and moisture.
- Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use.
- Minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles whenever practical.
- Store light-sensitive compounds in appropriate protective containers when required.
Laboratory Handling
Always follow accepted laboratory procedures when working with research materials.
We recommend:
- Using sterile equipment during preparation.
- Working in a clean laboratory environment.
- Using a new sterile syringe or transfer device for each withdrawal.
- Avoiding unnecessary exposure to air and contaminants.
- Properly labeling all reconstituted solutions with preparation dates.
