Handling, Storage & Preparation

Handling, Storage & Preparation Guidelines (For Laboratory Use Only)

Peptide Fusion Au provides the following information as general laboratory best practices for the handling, storage, and preparation of our research-grade peptides. These guidelines are intended strictly for qualified researchers performing in vitro or controlled laboratory experiments.

All products sold by Peptide Fusion Au are intended for laboratory and educational research purposes only. They are not for human or animal consumption, and they are not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, prophylactic, or any other medical or veterinary use.

1. Storage of Lyophilized Peptides (Powder Form)

Store vials in a cool, dry place protected from direct light.
For short-term storage (up to several weeks): Refrigerate at 2–8°C.
For long-term storage (months to years): Freeze at –20°C or lower (–80°C is preferred for maximum long-term stability).
Keep original vials tightly sealed and, where possible, use with a desiccant to minimise moisture absorption.
Before opening, allow sealed vials to reach room temperature in a desiccator or dry environment to prevent condensation inside the vial.

2. General Handling Precautions

Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, lab coat, and eye protection) when handling research peptides.
Work in a clean, controlled laboratory environment.
Minimise exposure of the powder to light, heat, and humidity.
Avoid repeated opening of the same vial where possible to reduce contamination risk.

3. Reconstitution (Dissolution) Guidelines

Research peptides are supplied as lyophilized powder and must be reconstituted in an appropriate solvent for laboratory experimentation.

Common laboratory solvents include sterile distilled water, bacteriostatic water (for research purposes), or peptide-specific buffers. The choice of solvent depends on the individual peptide’s solubility profile.
Start with a small test aliquot to determine the optimal concentration and solvent for your specific research protocol.
Gently swirl or vortex the vial — do not shake vigorously, as this may cause foaming or degradation.
Once reconstituted, divide the solution into single-use aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Use the reconstituted solution immediately for your experiment or store aliquots frozen (–20°C or below) for short periods only. Long-term storage in solution is not recommended.

4. Additional Notes

Stability and solubility can vary between different peptides. Always refer to the Certificate of Analysis (COA) supplied with your batch for any specific recommendations.
Repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided, as they can reduce peptide integrity over time.
These guidelines are general in nature and are not a substitute for your own laboratory’s standard operating procedures or risk assessments.
