Storage Temperature Lookup
Look up recommended storage temperatures for common research compound categories.
| Compound Type | Short-Term | Long-Term | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lyophilized Peptides (general) | 2–8°C / 36–46°F (refrigerated) | -20°C / -4°F (frozen) | Protect from light and moisture. Allow to reach ambient temperature before opening. |
| Reconstituted Peptides | 2–8°C / 36–46°F (refrigerated) | Not recommended | Use within 24–48 hours for most compounds. Some may require same-day use. |
| Amine-containing compounds | -20°C / -4°F (frozen) | -80°C / -112°F (deep freeze) | Store in sealed, moisture-proof containers with desiccant. |
| Light-sensitive compounds | Room temp, dark | 2–8°C / 36–46°F, dark | Use amber-tinted or opaque containers. Minimize light exposure. |
| Moisture-sensitive compounds | Room temp, dry | 2–8°C / 36–46°F with desiccant | Store with desiccant packets. Allow sealed vial to warm to ambient temp before opening. |
| Biological samples | -20°C / -4°F (frozen) | -80°C / -112°F (deep freeze) | Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Aliquot before freezing. |
These are general guidelines. Always refer to compound-specific documentation and your institution's storage protocols. When in doubt, consult the manufacturer or COA.
