Introduction
In research, peptide stability isn’t just about synthesis or formulation — it’s about how samples are handled and stored. Proper storage conditions can make the difference between reproducible results and wasted experiments.
At GhostLabz, we ensure that every peptide is produced and stored under conditions designed to preserve its molecular integrity and verified quality.
1. Why Storage Matters
Peptides are sensitive molecules. Incorrect handling or exposure to moisture, light, or heat can degrade their structure and alter research results.
-
Temperature sensitivity: Many peptides require freezing or refrigeration to prevent breakdown.
-
Moisture control: Exposure to humidity can cause peptide clumping or hydrolysis.
-
Light exposure: UV light may lead to oxidation or loss of purity.
2. Recommended Storage Conditions
Proper storage ensures long-term stability and usability.
| Storage Type | Temperature | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lyophilized peptides | -20°C | Up to 2 years | Keep dry, tightly sealed. |
| Reconstituted peptides | -20°C to -80°C | 1–3 months | Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Short-term storage | 2–8°C | Under 7 days | Suitable for immediate lab use. |
3. Handling Tips for Researchers
-
Always label peptides with batch number and date of reconstitution.
-
Use sterile vials and solvents.
-
Avoid cross-contamination by using clean pipette tips and gloves.
-
Thaw samples at room temperature, not under heat.
4. Setting the Standard with GhostLabz
At GhostLabz, every peptide is produced, packaged, and stored with precision.
We follow strict cold-chain protocols and provide batch-specific COAs and SDSs so researchers can trust their samples from delivery to data collection.
Closing Thoughts
Reliable results begin with reliable storage.
GhostLabz ensures that every peptide maintains its stability and purity — from the moment it leaves the lab to the moment it’s used in yours.
