Optimal Peptide Storage: Beyond the Basics

The longevity of a peptide is directly correlated to its storage environment. Lyophilized peptides are best preserved in a deep-freeze environment.

Long-Term vs. Short-Term

For research spanning several months, storage at -20°C or -80°C is mandatory. For short-term use (less than 4 weeks), 4°C is acceptable for lyophilized powder. However, light exposure must be strictly controlled to prevent UV-induced peptide cleavage.

Vacuum Integrity

Loss of vacuum seal in a vial is the primary cause of moisture ingress, which leads to hydrolysis. We utilize premium borosilicate vials with high-specification stoppers to maintain a permanent moisture barrier.
