Your peptide pen is less precise than you think

A peptide reconstitution pen is a mechanical device that meters diluent in fixed click increments. Published tolerances run about ±0.05 to ±0.15 mL per click, and uncounted dead volume can... Read more...

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...

Why your reconstituted peptides lose potency fast

Reconstituted peptides are research solutions made by mixing lyophilized peptide powders with a liquid diluent such as bacteriostatic water. Once combined, the molecules begin degrading immediately through hydrolysis and oxidation... Read more...

Your peptide powder is a fragile little snowflake

Reconstitution is the step that turns freeze-dried peptide powder back into a liquid. A measured volume of sterile diluent is added to the vial, then the vial is swirled or... Read more...
