Handling and Reconstitution
- Handle under dry conditions, as the peptide is hygroscopic
- Reconstitute using sterile water or an appropriate buffered aqueous solution according to experimental requirements
- Avoid vigorous agitation during dissolution
- Filter sterilisation (e.g. 0.22 µm) may be performed where required
- Aliquot reconstituted solutions and store at –20°C or below to minimise degradation
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
Precautions
- Experimental performance is dependent on concentration, exposure conditions, and model system
- Appropriate controls should be incorporated into study designs due to the peptide’s reported interactions with multiple signalling pathways
- Exposure to moisture, elevated temperatures, or prolonged light may reduce stability
