This invention relates to preservative solutions for peptides, for example,
parathyroid hormone, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3), adrenocorticotropic
hormone (ACTH) and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the peptides preserved by the
solutions are non-reconstituted. In one embodiment, the preservative solutions
comprise a polyvinyl alcohol, EDTA component and molybdic component.
