Storage, Handling & Stability Guidelines
Lyophilized BPC-157 is a relatively small 15-amino acid peptide and demonstrates strong stability when stored under appropriate laboratory conditions. Keep long-term inventory at -20°C. After reconstitution, refrigerate research material at 2–8°C and use within 10 days.
- Keep ambient-temperature handling time as short as practical to support compound integrity.
- Reseal vials promptly after each withdrawal to reduce moisture exposure.
- Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow institutional chemical safety protocols at all times.
- For traceability, label all aliquots with compound name, concentration, reconstitution date, and operator initials.
Lab Verification
Nexus maintains batch-level verification records for research compounds in the Lab Verified archive, including HPLC purity review and Mass Spectrometry identity confirmation where current lot data is available.
Shipping
Orders ship within the United States via USPS; international orders are not accepted. Compounds are supplied as lyophilized research material — follow the storage and reconstitution guidance on the product page and its Certificate of Analysis.
