Peptide Care Guide

Store all lyophilized (powdered) peptides in a cool, dark, dry place, like a drawer or cabinet away from heat and light.
For long-term preservation, keep vials refrigerated at 2–8°C
Avoid direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations.

Tip: Long-term storage (over several months) is best in a freezer at –20°C.

Use only sterile Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) when reconstituting peptides.
Gently inject the water down the side of the vial, avoiding direct pressure on the powder.
Allow the peptide to dissolve slowly - do not shake or swirl aggressively.
Discard opened BAC Water after 14-21 days
Use clean syringes and alcohol pads during handling to maintain sterility.

Once peptides are reconstituted, they become more sensitive to temperature, light, and contamination.
Store all reconstituted peptides in the refrigerator (2–8°C).
Do not freeze after reconstitution — ice crystals can damage the peptide structure.
Keep vials away from light and open only when necessary.
For best results, use within 30 days of reconstitution.
If the solution appears cloudy, discolored, or has particles, discard it immediately.

Always wash hands thoroughly before handling peptides.
Work on a clean, disinfected surface in a low-dust environment.
Wipe vial tops with an alcohol pad before and after each use.
Use a new, sterile syringe each time — never reuse needles or BAC water.
Avoid shaking vials; instead, gently swirl if mixing is needed.
If a vial is accidentally contaminated or left unrefrigerated for a long period, discard it to ensure research accuracy.
