FAQ

What are the storage recommendations for functional peptides?

Most peptides should be stored at -20°C in a lyophilized form. Once reconstituted, they should typically be aliquoted and stored at -80°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which may lead to degradation.

Can functional peptides be used in live-cell applications?

Yes, many of our functional peptides are cell-permeable and can be used in live-cell applications to study intracellular processes. However, the suitability depends on the peptide properties and the experimental conditions.
