Supplied as a lyophilized powder. Reconstitute in a solvent of your choice per your own protocol; peptides of this class are commonly handled with sterile water or bacteriostatic water, and aqueous solubility may be improved with brief gentle mixing rather than vortexing. Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to minimize condensation. Store the lyophilized powder sealed at -20 C and protect from moisture and light; after reconstitution, store aliquots at -20 C to -80 C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Refer to the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the values applicable to your vial. Any downstream handling is performed by the buyer according to their own laboratory protocol and applicable safety practice.
