Storage

KPV — Product Storage

  • Lyophilized KPV: Store according to the manufacturer’s batch-specific COA, preferably in a temperature-controlled environment.
  • Protect from: Direct light, heat, moisture, and prolonged exposure to room temperature.
  • Container: Keep the vial tightly sealed to minimize moisture exposure.
  • Temperature stability: Avoid repeated temperature fluctuations and unnecessary warming/cooling cycles.
  • After reconstitution: Follow the supplier’s specified storage conditions and minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Handling: Avoid excessive agitation or shaking; gently handle the vial when necessary.
  • Long-term storage: Follow the manufacturer’s stability data rather than assuming a universal storage temperature.

Important: Storage requirements can vary with formulation, purity, vial closure, and manufacturer. The COA or technical data sheet supplied with the specific KPV batch should take precedence over general storage recommendations.
