- Bacteriostatic water + refrigeration (2–8°C, centre shelf)
- 28 days
- 2–8°C (strict)
- Low if aseptic protocol followed
- Multi-dose protocols requiring 10+ injections over 4 weeks
- Gold standard. Maximises stability and minimises waste for serial dosing research
- Sterile water + refrigeration (2–8°C)
- 7–10 days
- Moderate. No antimicrobial protection
- Single-use or short-term protocols (≤1 week)
- Acceptable only for immediate-use scenarios; bacterial growth risk increases after day 5
- Bacteriostatic water + standard lab fridge (variable temp)
- 14–21 days
- 4–10°C (fluctuates)
- Moderate. Temp spikes accelerate degradation
- Budget-constrained settings without pharmaceutical-grade refrigeration
- Suboptimal but workable if daily temp monitoring confirms no excursions above 8°C
- Freezing reconstituted peptide (−20°C)
- Not recommended
- −20°C
- High. Freeze-thaw cycles denature protein
- None. This method fails for incretin peptides
- Hard reject. Ice crystal formation disrupts tertiary structure irreversibly
