Storage conditions at a glance
| Lyophilized, in transit | Stable for shipping for up to 3–4 months |
|---|---|
| Lyophilized, short term | Room temperature is usually adequate for several weeks; refrigeration under 4°C (39°F) is generally acceptable |
| Lyophilized, long term | Freezer at -80°C (-112°F) for several months to years |
| After reconstitution | Refrigerated; stable for up to 30 days |
| Light and moisture | Keep cold and away from light in the original sealed vial |
Why the powder is stable
All of our products are manufactured using the lyophilization (freeze drying) process, which keeps them stable for shipping for up to 3–4 months.
Lyophilization is a unique dehydration process, also known as cryodesiccation, where the peptides are frozen and then subjected to low pressure. This causes the water in the peptide vial to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white structure known as lyophilized peptide. The puffy white powder can be stored at room temperature until it is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water.
Storing vials on arrival
Once peptides have been received, it is imperative that they are kept cold and away from light. If the peptides will be used in the next several days, weeks or months, short-term refrigeration under 4°C (39°F) is generally acceptable. Lyophilized peptides are usually stable at room temperatures for several weeks or more, so if they will be utilized within weeks or months such storage is typically adequate.
For longer term storage (several months to years) it is more preferable to store peptides in a freezer at -80°C (-112°F). When storing peptides for months or even years, freezing is optimal in order to preserve the peptide’s stability.
After reconstitution
Once the peptides are reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, they must be stored in the fridge to maintain stability. After reconstitution, the peptides will remain stable for up to 30 days.
