How should research peptides be stored?
Store lyophilized peptides at −20°C (or colder) protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8°C and use within the validated stability window for the specific sequence — typically 1–4 weeks.

How are lyophilized research peptides reconstituted?
Lyophilized peptides are reconstituted by slowly adding bacteriostatic water (or another sterile, peptide-compatible solvent) down the inside of the vial wall, then gently swirling — never shaking — until fully dissolved.
