This video is an interview with Peter Magic from Janoshik, a company that provides testing services for the peptide industry. The conversation covers the origin of the Janoshik name, how Peter accidentally started the business, the evolution of peptide testing, the types of tests offered, and advice on storage, usage, and the reliability of testing agencies.
Using contaminated or degraded reconstituted peptides can lead to several consequences. Microbial contamination can cause local reactions at the injection site. While the peptide compound itself might still be present, its degradation can reduce its effectiveness. In cases of significant contamination, the presence of living organisms can lead to more severe issues and local reactions.
The generally advised usage period for a reconstituted peptide is typically four weeks when stored properly in a refrigerator. While some peptides might remain viable for longer (six to eight weeks), it's not recommended due to the increased risk of microbial growth and potential for local reactions. Using the smallest possible vial size that fits your needs is also suggested for safety.
