Dry formats are often chosen for stability reasons, but lyophilized powder is not automatically insensitive to the environment. Moisture pickup, heat, light, oxygen and repeated opening may affect the product.
Follow the Product-Specific Condition
The label and technical document should define storage. Do not transfer a condition from one peptide or formula to another.
Packaging Is Part of Stability
Container closure, headspace, desiccation, secondary packaging and shipping protection can influence moisture and light exposure.
After Reconstitution
The reconstituted system is different from the dry product. Use period and storage must be defined for that formula and should not be guessed from the unopened shelf life.
Questions for the Supplier
- What packaging was used in the shelf-life assessment?
- Which storage condition supports the labeled period?
- Does opening change the guidance?
- What is the protocol after reconstitution?
