Lyophilised at −80°C −80°C 3–5+ years Minimal (hydrolysis nearly halted) Requires desiccant, sealed vials Long-term archival storage, rare-use peptides Gold standard for maximum stability. Overkill for peptides used within 12 mon…
Shelf Life Post-Reconstitution 28 days refrigerated (2–8°C) 72 hours maximum 24 hours (single-dose use) BAC water supports multi-week protocols; sterile water forces immediate use or daily reconstitution Antimicrobial Protection …
Styrofoam cooler + standard ice packs 2–10°C Requires full unpacking; ice packs inspected separately 3–5 hours if packs pre-frozen to −18°C Yes. Vented lid prevents pressure build-up Short domestic flights under 4 hours with mini…
Bacteriostatic mechanism Benzyl alcohol disrupts bacterial cell membrane integrity, preventing replication None—bacterial contamination scales exponentially after initial introduction BAC water is the only viable option for vials…
Unreconstituted lyophilised VIP peptide stored at −20°C is the most stable form for transport and tolerates brief ambient exposure during transfer between freezers. Lyophilisation (freeze-drying) removes water molecules that woul…
VIP Up to 25°C for 12–18 hours max 28 days refrigerated Yes. 2–8°C pharmaceutical-grade for reconstituted Research biologic, not controlled High thermal sensitivity. Requires strict cold chain for reconstituted form BPC-157 Up to…
