Proper storage is critical to maintaining peptide stability. Whether you have just received an order or are managing a research inventory, these guidelines will keep your compounds viable throughout their shelf life.
Before Reconstitution
Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides are remarkably stable when stored correctly:
- Short-term (1–2 months): room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Medium-term (3–6 months): refrigerated at 2–8°C
- Long-term (6+ months): frozen at −20°C or below
After Reconstitution
Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water:
- Always refrigerate at 2–8°C
- Use within 30 days
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
- Use sterile technique when drawing from the vial
Lab Tips
- Keep vials upright to protect the stopper
- Label everything with reconstitution date and concentration — the calculator gives you the concentration figure
- Use amber vials or keep away from light when possible
