Handling guidance

Storage information

Storage conditions vary by compound and formulation. Always refer to compound-specific stability data and the product packaging.

Unreconstituted / lyophilised peptides

  • Store at −20°C or below for long-term storage.
  • Keep sealed and protected from moisture, heat and direct light.
  • Allow to reach room temperature before opening after removal from cold storage.
  • Avoid unnecessary temperature fluctuations.
  • Some products may be suitable for short-term refrigeration at 2–8°C depending on the compound.

Reconstituted peptides

  • Store refrigerated at 2–8°C where appropriate for the specific peptide and research protocol.
  • Keep protected from direct light and minimise unnecessary agitation.
  • Avoid repeated temperature changes.
  • For frozen storage protocols, use suitable aliquots to reduce repeat freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Use compound-specific stability data rather than a universal expiry period.
