FAQs on Peptide Reconstitution, Storage, and Laboratory Best Practices

Use sterile, bacteriostatic water or appropriate solvents recommended for your specific peptide. Avoid vigorous shaking; gently swirl or pipette to dissolve. Confirm complete dissolution before use to ensure accurate dosing.

Store lyophilized peptides at -20°C or colder in a desiccated environment. Once reconstituted, keep peptides refrigerated at 2-8°C and use within recommended timeframes to prevent degradation.

Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can reduce peptide integrity. It is advisable to aliquot reconstituted peptides into single-use portions to avoid refreezing and maintain sample quality.

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment and work in a clean environment. Use sterile tools and avoid contamination. Follow all safety guidelines as peptides are for research use only and not for human consumption.
