How long do reconstituted peptides last?
Standard hydrophilic peptides reconstituted in bacteriostatic water typically remain stable for 4 to 8 weeks at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius. Peptides with free cysteine or methionine residues typically hold 1 to 2 weeks. Hydrophobic peptides reconstituted in acetic acid typically remain stable for 2 to 4 weeks. Specific shelf life by peptide class is on reconstitution storage.
