# Storage of Unmixed Lyophilized Peptides

## General Storage Guidelines

| Storage Condition | Temperature | Duration |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Long-term storage | -20°C (freezer) | Months to years |
| Short-term storage | 2–4°C (refrigerator) | Weeks to months |
| Room temperature | 20–25°C | Up to 1–2 weeks maximum |
| During travel | Cargo hold | Short term |

## 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
