Peptide Storage Guidelines

Learn best practices for storing peptides to maintain stability and potency.

Key Points:

Lyophilized (powder): Store at -20°C or colder. Can last 1-2 years when properly stored.
Reconstituted: Refrigerate at 2-8°C. Use within 30 days.
Long-term storage: Keep reconstituted peptides at -20°C for up to 6 months.
Avoid: Repeated freeze-thaw cycles, direct sunlight, and room temperature storage.

Tip: Always allow vials to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.

Understanding Peptide Purity

How to interpret lab reports and Certificates of Analysis (COAs).

What to Look For:

HPLC Purity: Should be ≥99% for research-grade peptides.
Mass Spectrometry: Confirms molecular weight and identity.
Amino Acid Analysis: Verifies peptide sequence accuracy.
Batch Number: Must match the product label.

Our Commitment: All our peptides are tested by independent third-party labs and include complete COA documentation.

Reconstitution Protocol

Proper procedures for reconstituting lyophilized peptides.

Step-by-Step Process:

Allow peptide vial to reach room temperature (15-20 minutes).
Use bacteriostatic water or sterile water for injection.
Draw reconstitution solution into sterile syringe.
Inject solution slowly down the side of the vial (not directly onto powder).
Gently swirl (do not shake) until fully dissolved.
Label with date, concentration, and peptide name.

Common Reconstitution Volumes:

2ml: Easy to measure, good for most peptides
1ml: Higher concentration, less injection volume
3ml: Lower concentration, gentler on tissues

Safety & Compliance

Legal considerations and safety protocols for research peptide use.

Legal Status:

All peptides are sold for research purposes only.
Not intended for human consumption or veterinary use.
Comply with all local, state, and federal regulations.
Maintain proper laboratory documentation.

Laboratory Safety:

Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, lab coat, safety glasses).
Work in a sterile environment when possible.
Properly dispose of sharps and biological materials.
Follow institutional biosafety protocols.

Dosage Calculations

Understanding concentration and calculating research dosages.

Basic Formula:

Concentration (mg/ml) = Total mg ÷ Reconstitution Volume (ml)

Example:

10mg peptide + 2ml bacteriostatic water:

Concentration: 10mg ÷ 2ml = 5mg/ml
Each 0.1ml contains: 0.5mg
Each 0.2ml contains: 1mg

Precision Matters: Always use calibrated syringes and double-check calculations.
