STORAGE:
To maintain product stability and quality:
Store the lyophilized peptide at -20°C for long-term storage.
Short-term storage may be maintained at 2–8°C (refrigerated).
Keep the vial dry, sealed, and protected from light.
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles, as this may reduce peptide stability.
Once reconstituted, solutions should be stored refrigerated and used within a short timeframe according to laboratory protocols.
