Peptide Storage Guide: Maximize Shelf Life
Proper storage is essential to maintain peptide potency. Degraded peptides lose effectiveness and can produce unreliable results.
Lyophilized (Powder) Storage
- Room temperature: Stable for months to years
- Refrigerated: Even longer stability
- Keep away from direct light and moisture
- Desiccant packets help in humid environments
Reconstituted (Liquid) Storage
- Always refrigerate at 2-8C (standard fridge)
- Use within 28-30 days for optimal potency
- Never freeze reconstituted peptides (ice crystals damage structure)
- Bacteriostatic water extends usable life vs sterile water
Signs of Degradation
- Cloudy solution (should be clear)
- Particles or precipitate visible
- Color change
- Reduced effectiveness over time
