Storage Instructions

Lyophilization is a dehydration technique in which compounds are frozen and then exposed to low pressure. This causes the water in the vial to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white structure. This powder can be kept at room temperature until reconstitution.

Upon receipt, products should be stored away from heat and light. For short-term use, refrigeration at approximately 4°C (39°F) is suitable. For long-term storage (several months to years), vials may be placed in a freezer at approximately -80°C (-112°F). Freezing is the preferred method for preserving product stability over extended periods.

⚠️ Important Notice:
These products are intended for research use only. Not for human consumption.

Shipping

All sales are final because research materials cannot be returned to inventory. This does not limit approved remedies for verified shipping damage, missing or incorrect items, carrier loss, or a documented product-quality claim handled under the published claims procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential information about our research-grade peptides and quality standards.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, typically consisting of 2-50 amino acids. They serve as the building blocks of proteins and play crucial roles in biological processes.

Research peptides are laboratory reference materials supplied for use in scientific studies.

Key characteristics: Supplied in lyophilized form for stability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are published in our COA Library where available. Research-use-only materials are intended for lawful laboratory and analytical research.

Peptide purity refers to the percentage of the target peptide present in a sample.

Our Standard: Where available, purity results are documented in the product's Certificate of Analysis.

Higher purity is critical for research because impurities can interfere with experimental results and compromise the reproducibility of studies.

All products are supplied in lyophilized powder form. This format provides:

  • Precise measurement: Researchers can work with desired quantities
  • Contamination protection: Sealed vials prevent environmental exposure
  • Shipping durability: Powder form is more stable during transit

Lyophilized peptides:

  • Store at -4°F for long-term storage
  • Store at 36-46°F (refrigerated) for short-term storage
  • Keep away from light, moisture, and repeated temperature fluctuations

We supply peptides to:

  • Academic and university research laboratories
  • Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies
  • Independent research institutions
  • Licensed professionals conducting legitimate scientific research
