- Pharmaceutical refrigerator (reconstituted)
- 2–8°C, ±1°C variance
- 28 days
- Yes. Wrap in foil or use opaque container
- None if never frozen
- Gold standard for reconstituted peptides. Maintains >95% potency through full window
- Standard household refrigerator (reconstituted)
- 1–7°C, ±3°C variance
- 14–21 days
- Yes
- Low but not zero
- Acceptable for short-term use; temperature fluctuations reduce stability by 30–40%
- Freezer storage at −20°C (reconstituted)
- −18 to −22°C
- Not recommended
- N/A
- High. Each cycle causes 15–25% potency loss
- Avoid entirely unless using −80°C ultra-low; auto-defrost cycles destroy peptide structure
- Room temperature (reconstituted)
- 20–25°C
- 24–48 hours maximum
- Critical
- Emergency-only; hydrolysis rate increases 8–10× compared to refrigeration
- Lyophilised powder (unreconstituted)
- −20°C
- 24–36 months
- Minimal. Protect from moisture
- None
- Preferred long-term storage; reconstitute only when ready to use
