- −20°C (freezer)
- 24–36 months
- Never freeze reconstituted solution
- Minimal molecular motion; oxidation negligible
- Optimal for long-term lyophilized Melanotan-1 storage. Gold standard for unused vials
- 2–8°C (refrigerator)
- 6–12 months
- 28–30 days
- Hydrolysis and aggregation proceed slowly
- Required for reconstituted peptide; acceptable for short-term lyophilized storage
- 20–25°C (room temp)
- 6–8 months
- 7–10 days (30–50% potency loss)
- Oxidation, aggregation, hydrolysis accelerate
- Unacceptable for reconstituted; risky for lyophilized beyond 2–3 months
- >30°C (heat exposure)
- Weeks (15–25% loss)
- Days (severe degradation)
- Rapid thermal denaturation, disulfide scrambling
- Avoid entirely. Irreversible structural damage occurs quickly
- Light exposure (any temp)
- Variable degradation
- 10–20% loss in 14 days under fluorescent light
- Free radical formation, tryptophan/tyrosine oxidation
- Store in amber vials or wrap in foil; UV exposure compounds thermal degradation
