How to store Selank
Practical storage protocol for Selank: temperature, light, reconstitution timing, and shelf life in a research setting.
Lyophilised (freeze-dried) storage
Unreconstituted Selank, like most research peptides, is stable when stored in its original sealed vial at -20°C for long-term storage. For short-term use (under 3 months), refrigeration at 2-8°C is acceptable. The vial must be protected from direct light and moisture.
Peptify dispatches Selank in temperature-tolerant packaging from the UK, usually arriving within 24-48 hours of dispatch.
After reconstitution
Once Selank is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (BAC water, 0.9% benzyl alcohol), the solution should be stored at 2-8°C (refrigerated) and used within 28 days. Bacteriostatic water's preservative system inhibits microbial growth for roughly four weeks after first puncture — significantly longer than sterile water, which must be used immediately.
Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Never leave the vial at room temperature for extended periods, and keep it in its original rubber-stoppered vial to minimise contamination risk.
Shelf life and quality verification
Peptify publishes a batch-specific expiry date on every Selank COA, alongside HPLC chromatogram data and mass spectrometry confirmation. The full Certificate of Analysis for your specific batch is downloadable from the product page.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Selank different from benzodiazepines?
Selank has shown anxiolytic effects comparable to benzodiazepines in preclinical studies but without sedation, tolerance development, or withdrawal symptoms.
Does Selank affect the immune system?
Yes. Selank has immunomodulatory properties including enhancement of IL-10 production and stabilisation of blood cytokine levels.
