Why Cold-Chain Handling Matters for Peptide Stability

Peptides are sensitive biological molecules. Even a well-manufactured, high-purity batch can degrade if it is exposed to inappropriate temperatures during storage or transit — which is why cold-chain handling is a core part of how research peptides should be supplied.

What Can Go Wrong Without It

Repeated temperature fluctuation, prolonged heat exposure, or freeze-thaw cycling can all contribute to peptide fragmentation and loss of structural integrity, even before a vial is opened.

Storage Guidelines

Type Lyophilised (unopened) Reconstituted
Most peptides Up to 48 months at -20°C 2–8 weeks at 2–8°C

These are general guidelines — always check the specific product page for compound-specific storage advice.

How We Handle Shipping

Orders are dispatched using tracked courier services, with insulated packaging used where appropriate to reduce temperature exposure in transit.
