Best Practices for Safe Handling and Storage of Research Peptides
May 10, 2024
By Lab Safety Team
Proper handling and storage are crucial for maintaining the stability and efficacy of research peptides. This guide outlines key considerations for laboratory professionals.
Storage
Most lyophilized peptides should be stored at -20°C or -80°C. Once reconstituted, storage conditions vary depending on the peptide sequence. Refer to specific product datasheets for optimal storage recommendations.
Reconstitution
Use sterile, bacteriostatic water or other appropriate solvents for reconstitution. Gentle swirling is preferred over shaking to avoid denaturation.
