FAQ

What is a peptide storage case?
A fitted holder for a reusable metal pen and its 3 ml cartridges. It keeps the kit organized at the bench or on the move. A travel case is built mainly for carrying; a storage case is where the kit lives.
Why do researchers protect human insulin from heat and freezing?
A 2023 Cochrane review reports that health authorities stress human insulin's temperature sensitivity and advise protecting it from heat and freezing. That finding is about human insulin only.
How do I match a 3 ml cartridge to a pen before packing a case?
Check the plunger height. Our clear and amber 3 ml cartridges use the 11 mm long plunger that all four pens are built for. A shorter, roughly 8 mm plunger is a different format, and a wrong pairing mis-measures.
Can I check plunger height through a clear or amber cartridge?
Yes. On both clear and amber 3 ml cartridges the rubber plunger is visible through the glass, so you can measure its height from outside before the cartridge goes into the case.
Which PreppinPeppers pens are built for the 11 mm long plunger?
All four: the Gansulin, V1, V2 and V3 pens are built for the 11 mm long plunger on standard 3 ml (300-unit) glass cartridges.
What is the difference between a pen case and a pen cooler?
A case holds and organizes the pen and cartridges. A cooler is for temperature control of what you carry. Some benches use both, each for its own job.
Does a pen come with cartridges?
No. Pens do not include cartridges, pen needles or bacteriostatic water unless a kit says so. The Gansulin pen includes a zip case.
