Storage Guidelines
Best practices for handling and storing your research peptides.
Receiving and Handling Lyophilized Peptides
- Visual Inspection
Peptides may vary in appearance, from visible powder to thin film or even invisible residue. This is normal and does not affect quality. - Temperature Equilibration
Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation from affecting the peptide. - Dry Environment
Open vials in a dry environment and reseal promptly after use.
Storage Recommendations
Lyophilized Peptides
- Short-term
Store at 4°C (refrigerator) - Long-term
Store at −20°C or −80°C in airtight containers
General Tips
- Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to preserve peptide integrity
- Protect peptides from direct light exposure
- Label all vials clearly with content, date, and concentration
Proper storage ensures your research peptides maintain their integrity and potency throughout their lifespan. Keep all peptides in a cool, dry environment between 2-8°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles by storing in small aliquots rather than one large container.When working with lyophilised peptides, store them in their original packaging until use. Always handle with clean, dry equipment and never expose them to extreme temperatures or contaminated surfaces. Proper documentation of storage conditions helps maintain compliance and ensures reliable results in your research.
