A lab notebook: how I store, label and keep track of research peptides

About this notebook

This notebook collects notes on the day-to-day handling of lyophilised research peptides. The sort of thing you usually learn only after getting it wrong once.

What you'll find

Small, everyday things. How the vials sit in the freezer. What goes on a label and what doesn't. What I check on a parcel before signing for it. There's a new note every morning.

What you won't find

I don't write about using peptides in humans or animals, about amounts to use, or about preparing solutions. The materials I talk about are intended for laboratory research only, and the notebook stays inside those limits.

Who writes it

The notebook is kept by Istvan Szekely.
