Mixing and Storage Guidance
Best practices for handling and maintaining peptide integrity in laboratory research environments
Proper handling, reconstitution, and storage are critical to maintaining peptide stability and consistency in research environments.
The guidance below outlines general best practices used within laboratory settings.
Reconstitution (Mixing)
Lyophilised peptides must be reconstituted prior to use in laboratory settings. This is typically achieved using a sterile diluent such as bacteriostatic water or an appropriate laboratory buffer.
Allow vial to reach room temperature before reconstitution
Introduce diluent slowly down the vial wall
Avoid agitation – gently swirl if needed
Maintain sterile handling conditions
Record resulting concentration clearly
Lyophilised Storage
Store in a dry, controlled environment at -20°C. Protect from moisture and light, and avoid repeated temperature fluctuations
After Reconstitution
Store refrigerated at 2–8°C. Use within a limited timeframe and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
Long-Term Storage
For extended storage, aliquot where appropriate and freeze at -20°C or below to preserve stability
Handling Best Practices
Careful laboratory handling helps preserve peptide integrity, reduce contamination risk, and support consistent research outcomes
Use sterile equipment and controlled environments
Avoid contamination during handling
Label all materials clearly with concentration and date
Minimise exposure to heat, light, and air
