The Science of Decay

Peptides are fragile amino acid chains held together by peptide bonds. Once reconstituted in Bacteriostatic Water or Saline, the countdown to molecular degradation begins via hydrolysis, oxidation, and deamidation.

Hydrolysis & Deamidation

Water molecules react with peptide bonds, leading to the primary cleavage of the molecular structure into inactive fragments.

Arrhenius Principle

The rate of chemical decay increases exponentially as storage temperature rises, drastically shortening the molecular half-life. (Waterman & Adami, 2005 — PMID 15778049 | ICH Q1A(R2))

Why Visualizing Potency Matters

In metabolic research and biohacking, using a compound that has dropped below 80% potency leads to inconsistent data, variable absorption rates, and unreliable outcomes. Our clock uses a first-order exponential decay formula calibrated against clinical stability data to estimate the point of diminishing returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the peptide decay calculation?

Our calculator uses first-order exponential decay modeling based on peer-reviewed stability studies for common peptides. While highly accurate for research purposes, actual decay rates may vary slightly based on specific peptide formulation, pH, and storage conditions.

What temperature should I store reconstituted peptides?

Refrigeration (2-8°C) is optimal for most peptides, maintaining over 95% potency after 30 days. Room temperature storage (20-25°C) results in approximately 27% potency loss over the same period for standard-class peptides. These figures are model estimates from the PeptideClock first-order decay calculator, not direct experimental assay data for all peptides. Label-backed exception: Semaglutide (Ozempic) maintains potency for 56 days at up to 30°C per FDA labeling.

How long can I use a reconstituted peptide vial?

Most research peptides remain viable for 30-60 days when properly refrigerated. Always check for visual signs of degradation (cloudiness, discoloration) and use our calculator to track potency over time.

Does reconstitution affect peptide stability?

Yes, reconstitution with bacteriostatic water begins the degradation process. The clock starts counting from the moment of reconstitution, not from the original lyophilized powder storage.
