Proper storage of research peptides is critical to maintaining stability, purity, and biological activity. Industry experts recommend storing lyophilized peptides at -20°C or -80°C for long-term preservation.
For reconstituted peptides, they should be aliquoted into smaller volumes and stored at -20°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which can degrade peptide quality. Always allow peptides to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
Clear storage instructions and handling guidelines help research labs maximize the shelf life and performance of their peptide products.
