Products & Storage

Lyophilized (unreconstituted) peptides should be stored at -20°C in a dry, dark environment for maximum stability. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, peptides should be stored at 2–8°C (refrigerator) and used within 14 days for optimal integrity.

Bacteriostatic water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic water preparation containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. It is the standard diluent used to reconstitute lyophilized peptides for research applications. The preservative allows for multiple withdrawals from a single vial while maintaining sterility.

All of our peptides are supplied as lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in sealed, sterile glass vials. This form ensures maximum stability and shelf life. Reconstitution is required prior to use in research applications.

Slowly inject bacteriostatic water along the wall of the vial containing the lyophilized peptide. Do not shake — gently swirl or roll the vial until the powder is fully dissolved. The amount of diluent depends on your desired concentration. Always use sterile technique.

Lyophilized peptides stored at -20°C typically maintain stability for 24+ months from the date of manufacture. Once reconstituted, the solution should be used within 14 days when stored at 2–8°C. Check the expiration date on your product label for specific guidance.
