Proper Peptide Storage & Handling
Proper storage is critical to preserving peptide integrity. Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides are generally stable at -20°C or below for extended periods. Exposure to moisture, heat, or repeated freeze-thaw cycles can degrade the compound and reduce effective purity.
For short-term storage after reconstitution, peptides are typically kept at 4°C and used within a limited timeframe. The specific storage recommendation for each compound is included in its research documentation.
General best practices: store in a freezer away from light, use airtight containers, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and reconstitute only the amount needed for immediate use.
