Preparation & administration
Lyophilised
Also known as: lyophilized · lyo · freeze-dried
Freeze-dried under vacuum — the state most research peptides ship in, because dry powder is far more stable than solution.
In plain terms
A lyophilised peptide often looks like a barely visible film or a small puck at the bottom of the vial. A vial that appears empty is usually normal; a milligram of powder spread across the glass is genuinely hard to see.
Stability drops sharply after reconstitution. Dry powder can be stable for a long time in the freezer; the same peptide in solution is measured in weeks, refrigerated.
Guides that use this term
How much bacteriostatic water to add, why the volume changes what a “unit” means, and the handling mistakes that silently degrade a peptide. With the arithmetic worked through.
Lyophilised powder, reconstituted solution, and what actually happens when a vial gets warm. Storage rules, travel guidance, and why a degraded peptide looks exactly like a good one.
