How freeze-drying works
The solution is frozen, then placed under a deep vacuum. The ice turns directly into vapour without melting, a process called sublimation, and is drawn away. What is left is a dry, porous solid.
Why peptides are supplied this way
Peptides in solution break down far faster than dry powder. Freeze-drying removes the water that drives that breakdown, which is why research peptides usually arrive as a powder in a sealed vial.
The size of the powder means nothing
The cake can look large, small, cracked or collapsed depending on how it was dried. Its appearance does not tell you how much peptide is in the vial. Only the certificate of analysis does.
