Your Vials Are Stealing Your Peptides From the Walls

Container wall adsorption is the loss of peptide material to the interior surfaces of the tubes, vials, and cartridges that hold it. The material is not degraded — it is... Read more...

Your peptide pen's hidden role in preventing sample loss

A peptide pen is a reusable laboratory instrument for reconstituting and dispensing peptides from sealed glass cartridges. Built from non-reactive metal, it acts as a closed handling system: the cartridge... Read more...

Why your 3ml peptide cartridge might hold less than you

Dead volume is the residual liquid a cartridge retains after withdrawal, leaving less than its stated capacity available. In a 3ml cartridge, this trapped liquid typically accounts for 0.1ml to... Read more...
