Physical Form, Handling, and Storage
Tirzepatide is typically supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. As a laboratory reagent, the lyophilized peptide is generally stored desiccated and protected from light. Long-term storage is commonly maintained at -20C or below, while short-term working material may be held at 2C to 8C. For laboratory work, the powder is solubilized in an appropriate solvent selected for the intended in vitro application.
