Handling & storage
AICAR is typically supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Lyophilized peptides are generally stored cold and protected from light and moisture; once reconstituted, they are kept refrigerated and used within a limited window. Always follow the handling guidance on the compound's Certificate of Analysis and work under appropriate laboratory conditions. See our reconstitution guide for the general procedure.
