Why Peptides Arrive Lyophilized

Peptides are highly sensitive molecules. To ensure stability during shipping and long-term storage, they are typically supplied in a lyophilized (freeze-dried) form. Removing water protects peptide integrity, slows degradation, and makes storage more reliable.

Before use in research, peptides must be reconstituted — restored to a solution state using a suitable medium. This step is fundamental because dry peptides cannot participate in experimental systems until they are dissolved.

Conceptual Overview of Reconstitution

While every peptide is unique, researchers generally consider the
following conceptual checkpoints before reconstitution:

  • Review documentation: Vendor datasheets and Certificates of Analysis (COAs) contain essential information on purity and handling.
  • Define research purpose: Concentration and medium choice depend on experimental design.
  • Assess stability factors: Some peptides are more prone to degradation once in solution.
  • Plan for storage and aliquots: Consider whether the peptide will be used immediately or stored in working stocks.
  • Seek oversight: Final decisions should align with institutional SOPs and supervisor approval.

Reconstitution Calculator

To support researchers in planning, Lumin provides a Reconstitution Calculator. This tool helps you explore theoretical concentration and volume relationships when preparing solutions.
