We usually keep a solid stock of both sizes, but the 30ml vials can sometimes tight if you're ordering more than 50 units or so—shippng typically takes 7 to 10 business days, and we don't cold chain this since it stores fine at room temperature, which is actually better for most peptide work anyway.
It's made with 0.9% benzyl alcohol as the preservative, which keeps it sterile for multiple draws, and the pH sits between 5.0 and 7.0—nothing fancy, but that range works with just about any peptide you'd reconstitute, though I wouldn't use it for anything that needs a buffer system because of that it's just water.
Basically, what it does is it's sterile filtered and sealed in vials, so you avoid contamination issues you'd get with open bottles, and the 99% purity is better than reagent grade for this appliction because you don't want extra ions floating around that could mess with your solubility.
And we do OEM labeling if you need your own branding on the vials, but the MOQ for that is around 500 units—most buyers just go with the standard 10ml vial anyway, it's easier to handle for single-peptide runs.
One thing buyers don't always think about is benzyl alcohol concentration—0.9% is the sweet spot, too high and you risk peptide stability, too low and you don't get the preservative effect, but we've used this ratio for years and it's pretty much standerd in the industry.
Storage is straightforward—keep it at room temperature, away form direct sunlight, and you'll get the full 24 months shelf life as long as the vial seal isn't broken, though I'd rotate stock if you're sitting on it longer than 18 months just to be safe.
Nope, both sizes contain the same 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol as preservative. The only difference is the volume of sterile solution in the vial, so you can pick based on how much you need for your research.
Yes, we include a COA for every batch that shows the purity level, sterility test results, and pH range. Just request it when you place your order, and we'll send it along.
We don't have a strict MOQ for this product—you can order single vials to test first. Just keep in mind that pricing is better per vial on larger volumes.
Once opened, we recommend using the vial within 30 days if stored at room temperature. The 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol helps keep it sterile, but repeated punctures can introduce contaminants over time.
The pH stays stable within that range for the full 24 months when stored unopened at room temperature. We test each batch at release and again during the shelf life to confirm there's no significant drift.
