UV protection
Shielding peptides from ultraviolet light, which accelerates oxidation and degradation. Achieved through amber vials, opaque packaging, and dark storage conditions.
VialA small glass or plastic container sealed with a rubber stopper and aluminum crimp cap, used to store lyophilized or reconstituted peptides. Typically 2mL–10mL capacity.
Peptide storageThe conditions required to maintain peptide stability and potency. Lyophilized peptides should be stored at -20°C for long-term or 2–8°C for short-term. Reconstituted peptides must be refrigerated and used within 28 days.
