- Lyophilised at −20°C
- 24–36 months
- >98%
- Default long-term storage; minimize freeze-thaw cycles
- Optimal for unreconstituted stock
- Lyophilised at 2–8°C
- 12–18 months
- >95%
- Acceptable short-term if −20°C unavailable
- Avoid extended use at this temp
- Reconstituted at 2–8°C
- 28 days (bacterial), 14 days (optimal potency)
- 95% at 14 days, 85% at 28 days
- Reconstitute only what you'll use within 2 weeks

- 7 days
- 70% at 7 days, <50% at 14 days
- Emergency only; transfer to refrigerator ASAP
- Unacceptable for controlled studies
- Reconstituted frozen
- Not recommended
- 50% after one freeze-thaw cycle
- Never freeze reconstituted peptide
