Peptides are sensitive biological molecules that require proper handling and storage to maintain their effectiveness. The way you store them directly impacts their potency and shelf life.
Lyophilized (Freeze-Dried) Peptides #
| Storage | Temperature | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Freezer (long-term) | -20°C | Up to 2 years |
| Refrigerator (short-term) | 2–8°C | Up to 3 months |
| Room temperature | 20–25°C | Maximum 1–2 weeks |
Reconstituted (Mixed) Peptides #
| Storage | Temperature | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | 4°C | 21–28 days (with BAC water) |
| Room temperature | 20–25°C | Maximum 4–8 hours |
| Freeze reconstituted | -20°C | Not recommended — reduces potency |
Factors That Accelerate Peptide Degradation #
- Temperature fluctuations and heat exposure
- UV light and ambient light exposure
- Humidity and moisture contact
- Repeated freeze-thaw cycles
- Improper pH in reconstitution solvent
- Contamination from unsterile handling
Visual Inspection Signs of Degradation #
- Clumping or cloudiness in solution
- Discoloration or color change
- Visible particles in reconstituted solution
- Unusual odor
Important: Peptide degradation can occur at the molecular level without visible changes. Always follow storage guidelines strictly regardless of visual appearance.
