Storage and handling

Storage requirements vary between dry materials and prepared solutions. Check the exact supplier specification and your laboratory procedure.

What to record

Keep the product identity, lot, receipt date, preparation date, solvent, concentration and specified storage conditions together. Record any temperature excursions for review.

Solubility and stability

Peptide sequence affects solubility. Avoid assuming that the conditions used for another compound apply to this material. Supplier guidance can help inform a validated procedure, but it does not certify the stability of an unspecified batch.
