Storage & Handling

Peptides are stable when stored correctly.

Lyophilised peptides are remarkably stable when kept dry and cold. Following these guidelines maximises the working life of your BioPura compounds.

Lyophilised (unopened)

Store at −20°C in original sealed vial. Stable for 24+ months when kept dry and away from light. Avoid frost-free freezers that cycle temperature.

Reconstituted (in solution)

Store at 2–8°C in a refrigerator. Use within 4 weeks. For longer storage, aliquot and freeze at −80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Reconstitution solvents

Most peptides dissolve in sterile water or bacteriostatic water. Hydrophobic sequences may require 0.1–1% acetic acid. See your product data sheet for compound-specific guidance.

In-transit integrity

Your order is packed to maintain 2–8°C for ≥48 hours. If a package is delayed beyond this window, inspect vials on arrival and contact us immediately if there is any concern.
