- Pre-Reconstitution (Lyophilised)
- −20°C (freezer)
- 24–36 months sealed
- Original sealed vial
- Moderate. Avoid direct sunlight
- Maximum stability phase; minimize freeze-thaw cycles
- Post-Reconstitution (Solution)
- 2–8°C (refrigerator)
- 28 days
- Sterile glass vial with septum
- High. Wrap in foil or store in dark
- Active degradation phase; strict temperature discipline required
- Short-Term Ambient (Unavoidable)
- 15–25°C
- ≤4 hours cumulative
- Same reconstituted vial
- High. Keep in insulated container
- Emergency only; every hour at room temp = ~3 days at 4°C in degradation terms
- Long-Distance Transport (Reconstituted)
- 2–8°C with cold packs
- 24–48 hours max
- Insulated cooler with gel packs
- Moderate
- Use medical-grade coolers; verify temp on arrival
- This table clarifies that Cartalax storage requirements escalate sharply after reconstitution. The same peptide that's stable for years frozen becomes highly vulnerable within weeks once in solution.
