Lyophilized (Freeze-Dried)

Lyophilized (freeze-dried) is the preferred storage form for research-grade peptides. The lyophilization process removes water from the peptide solution under vacuum at low temperature, leaving a dry, stable powder that can be stored at −20°C for 24+ months without significant degradation. Liquid reconstituted peptides degrade much faster due to hydrolysis and enzymatic activity. Before use in research, lyophilized peptides are typically reconstituted with bacteriostatic water or sterile water. All Aevitas peptides are supplied in lyophilized powder form.
