Storage & Shipping
All of our products are manufactured using the Lyophilization (Freeze Drying) process, which ensures stability during transit and long-term storage. Below are the official recommendations:
- Stability During Shipping: Products are 100% stable for shipping for up to 3–4 months at ambient temperature.
- After Reconstitution: Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, the peptide must be stored in a refrigerator and will remain stable for up to 30 days.
- Room Temperature Storage: Lyophilized powder can be safely stored at room temperature until reconstitution, provided it remains sealed and protected from light.
- Refrigerated Storage (Short Term): Store under 4°C (39°F) if not used immediately. Suitable for storage up to several weeks or months.
- Frozen Storage (Long Term): For extended stability (months to years), store in a freezer at -80°C (-112°F).
Note: Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Always aliquot after reconstitution when necessary. Follow institutional safety protocols for handling all research compounds.
