Handling & Storage
Important Handling Practices
- Protect peptide preparations from excessive heat and direct light.
- Minimize exposure to air and moisture.
- Avoid unnecessary or repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
- For laboratory workflows requiring frozen solutions, consider preparing appropriately sized aliquots so the entire sample does not have to be repeatedly thawed and refrozen.
- Keep containers securely closed when not in use.
- Follow compound-specific storage requirements when provided.
Quick Storage Reference
Lyophilized / Unreconstituted
- Long-term:
- −20°C (−4°F)
- Short-term:
- 2–8°C (36–46°F)
Keep dry, sealed and protected from light.
Reconstituted / In Solution
- Storage when necessary:
- −20°C (−4°F) or colder
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
