Storage and reconstitution basics

Lyophilised (freeze-dried) peptides are stable, but handling makes a big difference to results.

Before reconstitution

Store sealed vials cold and dark. For long-term storage, a freezer at -20°C is standard. Let vials reach room temperature before opening to avoid condensation.

Reconstitution

Bacteriostatic or sterile water is commonly used. Add the solvent slowly down the side of the vial and swirl gently — never shake.

After reconstitution

Refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe appropriate for the compound. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
