Are pre mixed peptides less stable than lyophilized powder?

Generally yes. Dry powder stays chemically inert in storage, while a peptide already dissolved in liquid begins slow hydrolysis degradation from the moment it was mixed.

Can you verify the concentration of a pre mixed peptide vial?

Not at the bench without assay equipment. You're trusting the manufacturer's label rather than confirming it yourself the way you can when you reconstitute your own vial.

Does bacteriostatic water quality still matter with pre mixed peptides?

Yes. Any further dilution or transfer at the bench still depends on diluent purity and preservative integrity, even though the initial mix was done for you.

TL;DR

Pre mixed peptides trade bench convenience for lost control over concentration accuracy, with a degradation clock that starts before you ever see the vial.
