Storing your peptides?

[matrtx]

So I’ve read that peptides should be stored at -20 °C which is -4°F. My freezer in my apartment doesn’t uhh get that cold maybe 15 to 25°F. I just ordered a thermometer to keep in there.

My question is, is this an acceptable temperature to store them at 15-25 degrees?

I’ll be able to confirm my freezers exact temp. tomorrow when I receive the thermometer from Amazon*

You only need to freeze them if you won't be researching for several months. Freezer are for long-term storage, short term room temp, dark (like in a drawer) is fine.

I have two kits coming that will be for longer term storage.

I don't know if there has been a ton of research when it comes to long-term storage above 20C but below freezing. There may be other more knowledgeable people here that can offer their experience/opinion. I suspect you will be fine and worst case need to adjust your dosage if you find that the peps have degraded a little when you are ready to use.

I'm wondering about the same, no idea what my freezer goes up to, but it's a cheap chest freezer so I bet it's not that cool.

I have not started this long enough to assess for any potency loss

I just got a cheap thermometer I’m waiting on, I’m sure any potency loss is probably minimal if any. I’d think the real issue would be storing it for a long time outside of a freezer or in warm conditions in light

Yes, that and freeze-thaw too many times.

Storing below what a regular freezer goes to is not really practical. Even with a stockpile of years worth of peptides it’s still in a tiny box relative to the rest of the freezer space if you buy a ULT freezer. I haven’t seen a small or economical ULT freezer

Depends how long you intend to store them for.

You could expect less than 2% potency loss after two years in the fridge with un-reconstituted sema/tirz/reta. If the production quality of your peptides is good and there is no contamination.

Other peptides might be more or less stable
