Preservation of Peptides | Storage
Protocols to keep the molecular stability and maximum potency of your peptides
Lyophilized Peptides
Most stable form for long-term storage
Peptides arrive as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder, which is the most stable form for storage. In this state, enzymatic activity and degradation are minimized as much as possible.
Ideal for long-term storage
Recommended for regular use
Only during transport
After Reconstitution
Requires careful handling and proper storage
Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, the peptide becomes more susceptible to degradation. Shelf life is reduced significantly.

Estabilidad por temperatura
Vida útil estimada según la temperatura de almacenamiento y el estado del vial. El congelador ofrece el mayor margen; la temperatura ambiente solo se justifica durante el transporte.
Reconstitución paso a paso
Reconstituir es una secuencia: cada paso protege la potencia del péptido antes y después de añadir el solvente.
