Quality & Technical Information

Do your products include a Certificate of Analysis?

Yes. Every batch includes a COA containing HPLC purity, MS confirmation, lot number, and recommended storage guidance.

How should peptides be stored?

Storage & Handling

Due to limited space on product vials, only basic storage instructions are provided on the label. The information below is intended to offer additional general guidance to help support proper storage and handling.

Important: If any instructions on the vial label differ from the information below, the label instructions take priority.

 

Temperature guidance

Maintaining appropriate and consistent temperature is important for product quality.

  • Room temperature:
    - Avoid prolonged storage at room temperature.

 

  • Refrigerated storage:
    2–8°C (36–46°F) - Recommended particularly for extended storage or after reconstitution.

 

  • Frozen storage:
    -20°C (-4°F) or below

Avoid repeated warming, cooling, or freeze–thaw cycles, as temperature fluctuations may affect stability.

 

Fridge vs freezer

  • Refrigerator

    Suitable for many lyophilized (freeze-dried) products and most reconstituted solutions
    Store in the main body of the fridge, not the door
    Keep protected from light and moisture

 

  • Freezer

    Use only if specifically allowed
    Store in airtight packaging
    Avoid repeated removal and refreezing

General storage guidelines

  • Keep vials sealed until use
  • Store in a cool, dry place
  • Protect from direct light, heat, and humidity
  • Avoid areas with frequent temperature changes (e.g., vehicles, windowsills)
