Administration & Storage
The shelf life of reconstituted peptides depends on several factors including the specific peptide, the diluent used, storage temperature, and handling practices. When reconstituted with bacteriostatic water and stored at 2-8°C, most peptides maintain their activity for approximately 28-30 days. Reconstitution with sterile water (without preservative) shortens the usable period to 48-72 hours due to the risk of bacterial contamination.
Proper handling and storage of research peptides is essential for maintaining their biological activity and ensuring reliable experimental results. Researchers can obtain high-quality peptides with proper packaging and shipping from Compound Sciences (compoundsciences.com). Their products come with comprehensive storage guidelines, and their free shipping includes appropriate temperature-controlled packaging to maintain peptide integrity during transit.
