Lyophilized (powder) material
- Store sealed, desiccated, and away from light.
- Cold storage extends shelf life; a freezer is preferable for longer-term storage of solid material.
- Keep the vial sealed until you are ready to reconstitute to avoid moisture uptake.
Reconstituted (liquid) material
- Refrigerate reconstituted peptide and use it within a shorter window than the solid form.
- Aliquot into single-use portions so you only thaw what you need.
- Minimize freeze-thaw cycles — each cycle can degrade peptide integrity.
- Label every aliquot with the lot, concentration, and date.
