SS-31 Peptide, also known as elamipretide, MTP-131, or Bendavia, is a synthetic tetrapeptide that selectively targets and penetrates the inner mitochondrial membrane. Its unique structure allows it to bind cardiolipin, a critical phospholipid involved in maintaining mitochondrial structure and function. Research suggests that SS-31 pepptide can reduce mitochondrial oxidative damage, improve ATP production, and stabilize electron transport chain efficiency.

Studies have investigated SS-31 peptide in the context of age-related mitochondrial decline, cardiovascular dysfunction, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disorders, making it a promising compound in longevity and cellular health research.

Best Practices for Storing Peptides

To maintain the reliability of laboratory results, correct peptide storage is essential. Proper storage conditions help preserve peptide stability for years while protecting against contamination, oxidation, and breakdown. Although certain peptides are more sensitive than others, following these best practices will greatly extend their shelf life and structural integrity.

  • Short-Term Storage (days to months): Keep peptides cool and protected from light. Temperatures below 4 °C (39 °F) are generally suitable. Lyophilized peptides often remain stable at room temperature for several weeks, but refrigeration is still preferred if use is not immediate.
  • Long-Term Storage (months to years): Store peptides at –80 °C (–112 °F) for maximum stability. Avoid frost-free freezers, as defrost cycles can cause damaging temperature fluctuations.
  • Minimize Freeze–Thaw Cycles: Repeated freezing and thawing accelerates degradation. Instead, divide peptides into aliquots before freezing.

Preventing Oxidation & Moisture Damage

Peptides can be compromised by exposure to moisture and air—especially immediately after removal from a freezer.

  • Let the vial warm to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
  • Keep containers sealed as much as possible, and if possible, reseal under a dry, inert gas such as nitrogen or argon.
  • Amino acids like cysteine (C), methionine (M), and tryptophan (W) are particularly sensitive to oxidation.


Storing Peptides in Solution

Peptides in solution have a much shorter lifespan compared to lyophilized form and are prone to bacterial degradation.

  • If storage in solution is unavoidable, use sterile buffers at pH 5–6.
  • Prepare single-use aliquots to avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
  • Most peptide solutions are stable for up to 30 days at 4 °C (39 °F), but sensitive sequences should remain frozen when not in use.


Containers for Peptide Storage

Select containers that are clean, intact, chemically resistant, and appropriately sized for the sample.

  • Glass vials: offer clarity, durability, and chemical resistance.
  • Plastic vials: polystyrene (clear but less resistant) or polypropylene (translucent but chemically resistant).
  • Peptides shipped in plastic vials may be transferred to glass for long-term storage if desired.


Regenesis Peptide Storage Quick Tips

  • Keep peptides in a cold, dry, dark environment
  • Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles
  • Minimize exposure to air
  • Protect from light
  • Avoid storing in solution long term
  • Aliquot peptides to match experimental needs
