Storage

Room Temperature (59-77°F)

  • Storage Method: Keep the lyophilized peptides in their original sealed vial, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and sources of heat.
  • Shelf Life: Typically, lyophilized peptides can last 1-2 years at room temperature. However, some peptides may degrade more quickly, so it’s always best to refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Refrigerator (36-46°F)

  • Storage Method: Store the lyophilized peptides in their original sealed vial in the refrigerator. Ensure the vial is tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption.
  • Shelf Life: In the fridge, lyophilized peptides can last 3-5 years, depending on the peptide’s stability and formulation.

Freezer (-4°F or lower)

  • Storage Method: Place the lyophilized peptides in their original sealed vial in a freezer. For long-term storage, it’s best to keep the vial in a zip-lock bag or another airtight container to prevent moisture ingress.
  • Shelf Life: When stored at -4°F or lower, lyophilized peptides can remain stable for about 3-5 years. Some peptides may last indefinitely under these conditions, but it’s still advisable to check specific recommendations for each peptide.

Additional Tips

  • Avoid Freeze-Thaw Cycles: Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can degrade peptides. If you need to use the peptides frequently, consider aliquoting them into smaller vials before freezing.
  • Desiccants: Including desiccants in the storage container can help maintain a dry environment and further protect the peptides from moisture.
