Guides & how-tos
- How to Reconstitute Lyophilized Peptides A step-by-step laboratory guide to reconstituting lyophilized research peptides: which diluent to use, how much to add for a target concentration, the technique that avoids foaming and denaturation, and how to label and store the result. Read the guide →
- How to Store Peptides: Lyophilized vs. Reconstituted How to store research peptides at every stage — sealed lyophilized vials, opened vials, and reconstituted solutions — with the chemistry behind the rules: deamidation, oxidation, hydrolysis and aggregation, and how temperature, moisture, light and freeze–thaw cycles drive them. Read the guide →
- How to Read a Peptide Certificate of Analysis (COA) A practical guide to reading a peptide COA: what HPLC purity means (and does not), how mass spectrometry confirms identity, the difference between purity and net peptide content, the impurities to look for, and the red flags of a certificate that is not worth the paper.
