Note: This guide is for research purposes only. Proper peptide storage requires appropriate facilities and adherence to institutional guidelines.
Proper peptide storage involves multiple environmental factors that must be carefully controlled. The stability of research peptides depends on maintaining precise conditions from receipt through final use.

Research Evidence
According to a study published in Haemophilia (Parti et al., 2005)[1], lyophilized peptides demonstrate remarkable stability across various conditions:
- 91.6% stability (95% CI, 88.9-94.3%) at 5°C (41°F) for 30 months
- 82.0% stability (95% CI, 79.2-84.9%) at 25°C (77°F) for 18 months
- 94.0% stability (95% CI, 92.4-95.6%) at 40°C (104°F) for 1 month
- Reconstituted samples retained 92.0% (95% CI, 89.8-94.3%) activity after 24 hours
The study found that even high-temperature excursions (40°C/104°F for 2 weeks) did not compromise the stability of lyophilized powder under subsequent refrigeration or room temperature storage.

Research Note: Based on stability studies (Parti et al., PMID: 16128893), lyophilized peptides show remarkable stability even with temperature excursions. However, reconstituted forms require strict temperature control. Research shows 92% stability in reconstituted form at 24 hours under proper storage conditions.
Research-Based Guidelines: Research demonstrates that lyophilized powder maintains stability even during temperature excursions, while reconstituted forms require strict temperature control. Parameters like moisture, appearance, solubility, pH, and aggregation remain within specifications under proper storage conditions [Parti et al., 2005].
