Storage & handling

Before reconstitution

Products ship as lyophilized (freeze‑dried) powder, which is stable at ambient temperature in transit. On arrival, store sealed vials at −20 °C for long‑term stability, or 2–8 °C if you plan to use them soon. Keep them dry and out of direct light.

After reconstitution

Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep the vial refrigerated at 2–8 °C. Avoid leaving reconstituted material at room temperature for extended periods.

Handling tips

• Reconstitute by adding bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside wall of the vial, then swirl gently — do not shake.
• Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles, which degrade peptides over time.
• Keep vials sealed, labelled, and protected from light and moisture.
• Always follow the storage note printed on each product label.
