Peptide stability and storage — anyone have experience?

The honest answer is that the effect is real, the magnitude is contested, and the individual variation is larger than either.

True, and it depends on a baseline nobody has stated. Without knowing where someone started, the same number can be an excellent result or a disappointing one.

The distinction that matters is unopened versus in use.

Genuinely useful, thank you. I had the facts and not the framework. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.

Filing a mild objection. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. Not convinced. The evidence being cited is consistent with the conclusion and also consistent with two other conclusions nobody has ruled out.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. One habit that pays for itself: post the method alongside the number. A figure without its method cannot be checked, and an unchecked figure is how this community accumulates folklore.

Moderator note: leaving this open. It is being argued well and the disagreement is the useful part. No action needed from anybody.
