Quick Answers
What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids (typically 2-50) linked by peptide bonds. They are smaller than proteins and play crucial roles in biological processes including hormone regulation, immune function, and tissue repair.
How do you reconstitute peptides?
Clean vial tops with alcohol, draw bacteriostatic water into a syringe, slowly inject along the vial wall (not directly on powder), let dissolve without shaking, then refrigerate at 2-8°C.
How long do peptides last?
Lyophilized peptides last 2+ years frozen at -20°C. Reconstituted peptides last 4-6 weeks refrigerated at 2-8°C. Never freeze reconstituted peptides.
