Peptide Storage: How Long Do Reconstituted Vials Last?
Direct answer
How long do reconstituted peptides last? It depends on stability, temperature, and contamination risk. Research indicates peptide solutions degrade faster with heat, light, and repeated air exposure. However, specific timelines vary by compound and manufacturer, so treat any storage window as conservative and follow official guidance.
The stability factors that actually determine shelf life after reconstitution.
Most peptide failures come from poor storage, not the compound itself. Stability is the quiet driver of results and safety.
What actually degrades peptides?
Heat, light, repeated air exposure, and agitation all accelerate breakdown. Every time a vial warms up or is opened, stability decreases.
Why sterile technique matters
Contamination risk rises after reconstitution. Even if potency is intact, contamination makes the product unsafe.
The safest practical rule
Follow manufacturer instructions and treat storage windows as strict limits. When in doubt, discard and replace.

FAQ
Does freezing always extend peptide life?
Not always. Some peptides are damaged by repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Is bacteriostatic water enough for safety?
It reduces contamination risk but does not guarantee sterility if technique is poor.
Should I use a vial past the recommended date?
No. Past the date, potency and safety are uncertain.
