Key Rules #
- Minimize freeze-thaw cycles: Repeated freeze-thaw cycles lead to peptide degradation and reduced efficacy. Aliquot peptides into smaller volumes before freezing. Maximum 10 freeze-thaw cycles.
- Protect from light: Store in airtight, opaque containers to prevent exposure to humidity and UV light
- Protect from moisture: Ensure peptides are fully lyophilized and store with desiccants
- Handling: Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation forming inside the vial
Travel Tips #
If traveling, put unmixed peptides in your check-in luggage so they are kept in the cargo hold, which is cold. Dripdok offers a peptide travel package that includes:
- Hard shell case designed to tightly hold up to 10 vials securely
- Travel documentation and MSDS
- Prescription for travel
- Additional hard shell cases available upon request
Contact us for current pricing on the travel package.
Note: We do not provide this service for travel to Japan, Singapore, Australia, or Saudi Arabia.
