Stability Protocol: Storage & Handling

Storage and handling quality directly affects peptide integrity and research reliability.

Key Principles

• Keep lyophilized material dry and protected from light.
• Minimize temperature excursions and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Use clean handling workflows and clear labeling.

Common Stability Risks

1. Moisture exposure
2. Heat exposure
3. Light exposure
4. Repeated vial access and contamination

Documentation Checklist

• Batch identifier
• Storage temperature
• Reconstitution date/time
• Visual changes over time

Practical Takeaway

Most avoidable peptide quality issues come from process inconsistency rather than chemistry alone.
