Storage & Handling
Recommended Storage
Store lyophilized peptide at 2–8°C for short-term handling and at -20°C for long-term storage, protected from light and moisture. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic or sterile water for research use. Add diluent slowly against the vial wall and swirl gently until dissolved — do not shake. Once reconstituted, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within the validated stability window. Do not use if the solution appears cloudy or contains particulates.
Temperature
2–8°C / -20°C long-term
Shelf Life
24 months (lyophilized)
