Understanding Peptide Stability and Storage

Peptide stability depends on factors such as solvent type, temperature, and exposure to light. Proper storage is crucial to maintain activity for research purposes.

Temperature Control
Store peptides as recommended by the manufacturer. Lyophilized peptides are often stable at -20°C, while reconstituted solutions may require refrigeration or short-term use.

Protect From Light
Some peptides are photosensitive. Keep vials in opaque containers or wrap in aluminum foil when working with light-sensitive compounds.

Prevent Contamination
Always use sterile tools and avoid touching the peptide with bare hands. Contamination can alter experimental results.

Labeling and Documentation
Clearly label all vials with peptide name, lot number, date, and storage conditions. Documentation is key for reproducibility in research.

Summary
Following these storage and stability tips ensures reliable research outcomes. Remember, these practices are for laboratory research only.
