Proper Mixing & Storage

The Science

Peptides are sensitive molecules affected by:

• Temperature: High heat can cause denaturation or degradation.

• Moisture: Water can trigger hydrolysis or aggregation.

• Light and pH: UV light and extreme pH can break peptide bonds.

 

Lab studies monitor stability under these conditions to ensure research results reflect the true properties of the molecule.

​

What That Means

• Peptides are delicate, and their environment influences activity.

• Even stable peptides can degrade if exposed to unfavorable conditions.

• Understanding stability helps interpret why some studies show strong effects and others show limited results.

• Due to this, most peptides, in liquid form, require refrigeration and will not survive in room temperature environments or if they're frozen. This is why most researchers will not reconstitute their vials until they need to use the specific peptide, as the half-life and survivability of various peptides vary.
