Frequently Asked Questions

Before reaching out to our support team, please take a moment to visit our FAQ page. We regularly update it with the most accurate and comprehensive information to help answer your questions quickly — saving you valuable time and ensuring a smoother experience.

How should research peptides be stored?

Most research peptides should be stored in a cool, dry place before reconstitution. Once mixed with a sterile solution, they are typically kept refrigerated to maintain stability. Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for proper storage.

How do you reconstitute research peptides?

Research peptides in lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder form need to be reconstituted with a sterile solvent before use in laboratory research. Common solvents include bacteriostatic water (BW), sterile water, or acetic acid, depending on the peptide’s stability. To reconstitute, slowly inject the chosen solvent into the vial along the inner wall to avoid damaging the peptide structure. Let the powder dissolve naturally—do not shake the vial, as this can degrade the peptide. Once fully dissolved, store the reconstituted peptide in a refrigerator to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Always follow proper laboratory handling procedures, as research peptides are for scientific use only.

What is the shelf life of raw and reconstituted research peptides?

Raw lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides have a shelf life of 12 to 24 months when stored properly in a cool, dry place, ideally in a freezer or at least in a refrigerator to maintain stability. Once reconstituted with a sterile solvent, peptides generally remain stable for a few weeks when refrigerated, depending on the specific peptide and solvent used. Some peptides may degrade faster, so proper storage is essential. Always follow laboratory guidelines and use reconstituted peptides promptly for research purposes.
