- To make this as clear as possible, our team put together a simple table. Print it out, stick it on your lab bench—whatever it takes to get it right every time.
- Lyophilized (Powder)
- Room Temperature (Short-Term)
- Up to 8 Weeks
- Keep sealed, away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Ideal for the period right after delivery.
- Freezer (-20°C / -4°F)
- 1-2+ Years
- The gold standard for long-term preservation. Prevents virtually all degradation. The vial must remain sealed.
- Reconstituted (Liquid)
- Refrigerator (2-8°C / 36-46°F)
- Up to 30-45 Days
- Non-negotiable. The peptide is now unstable. Keep in the back of the fridge to avoid temperature swings.
- Room Temperature
- A Few Hours
- Avoid at all costs. Significant degradation begins almost immediately. Only acceptable during preparation.
- Freezer
- Not Recommended
- Repeated freeze/thaw cycles can fracture the peptide chain, destroying its integrity. Avoid this practice.
- One point from that table deserves special emphasis: do not freeze your reconstituted PT-141. While it seems logical that colder is better, the formation of ice crystals during the freezing process can exert physical stress on the delicate peptide structure. The subsequent thawing process is also damaging. This freeze-thaw cycle can shear the molecule apart, a phenomenon known as cryolysis. It's better to keep the reconstituted solution in a stable, cold liquid state in the refrigerator and use it within its effective window.
