Storage

For storage, lyophilized VIP should be stored desiccated at -20°C or preferably -80°C. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, VIP becomes more susceptible to degradation. Store the reconstituted solution in a refrigerator at 2-8°C. For longer storage, freeze the solution below -20°C. To prevent degradation from repeated thawing, it's best to aliquot the reconstituted solution into smaller, single-use vials before freezing. Protect both lyophilized and reconstituted VIP from direct light by storing them in dark containers. Ensure vials are tightly capped to prevent moisture exposure and contamination. Bacteriostatic water contains benzyl alcohol to inhibit bacterial growth, extending the shelf life of the reconstituted solution compared to sterile water.
