Why Proper Storage Matters

Peptides are sensitive biological compounds. Exposure to heat, moisture, light, and repeated temperature changes can gradually reduce their stability and quality. Correct storage helps preserve integrity from the day you receive the product until it is used.

Lyophilised (Freeze-Dried) Powder
Best For: Unopened peptide vials

❄️ Storage Guide
Proper storage is essential to help maintain the quality and stability of peptide products. Exposure to excessive heat, moisture, sunlight, and repeated temperature fluctuations may reduce stability over time.

📦 Before Reconstitution (Lyophilised Powder)

✅ Recommended Storage

Short-Term (up to 1 month)
Store refrigerated at 2–8°C
Keep vial sealed until ready for use
Long-Term (more than 1 month)
Store frozen at −20°C when possible
Minimise unnecessary temperature fluctuations
Best Practices
✔ Keep vial dry
✔ Store away from direct sunlight
✔ Keep in original packaging whenever possible
✔ Avoid prolonged exposure to room temperature

💧 After Reconstitution
Once reconstituted with an appropriate diluent:

Recommended Storage
Temperature: 2–8°C (Refrigerator)
General Recommendations
✔ Keep refrigerated between uses
✔ Return to the refrigerator immediately after use
✔ Label the date of reconstitution
✔ Minimise time outside refrigeration

🧊 Freeze–Thaw Cycles
Repeated freezing and thawing may negatively affect peptide stability.

Whenever possible:
Avoid repeatedly freezing reconstituted solutions.

If long-term storage of a solution is required, aliquoting into smaller sterile containers is a common laboratory practice to reduce repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
☀️ Avoid
❌ Direct sunlight
❌ High humidity
❌ Temperatures above room temperature for prolonged periods
❌ Leaving products inside vehicles
❌ Storing near ovens, heaters or windows
❌ Repeated unnecessary handling
🚚 Shipping

Lyophilised (freeze-dried) peptides are generally more stable during shipping than peptides in solution.

It is normal for shipments to experience temporary exposure to ambient temperatures during transit.
Upon receiving your order:

1. Inspect the package.
2. Store products appropriately as soon as practical.
3. Refrigerate or freeze according to your intended storage duration.

🧼 Handling Best Practices
✔ Wash hands before handling
✔ Clean vial stopper with 70% isopropyl alcohol before each puncture
✔ Use new sterile needles and syringes
✔ Avoid touching sterile components
✔ Keep the work area as clean as possible
✔ Discard any product showing unusual colour changes, visible particles (unless expected), or signs of contamination
