We've been seeing inconsistent results with some of teh lower-grade peptide analogs on the market, especially when it comes to receptor binding assays where purity really matters. The problem is that degradation products or truncated sequences can throw off and waste weeks of work.
What we're getting here is a lyophilized powder that's been run through HPLC and MS—they confirmed the molecular weight at 4117.73 g/mol and the purity at 99% or better, which is tighter than most suppliers offer for this particular analog. It's soluble in water or acetic acid, so reconstitution is straightforward for the usual buffer systems we're running.
Storage is critical though—this has to stay at -20°C and protected form light, otherwise you'll see degradation within a few months instead of the 24-month shelf life they claim. We usually have stock ready to ship, but confirm lead time because the sealed vials under inert atmosphere take an extra day or two to prepare. Also, the CAS number is 52232-67-4 if you need to cross-reference with your existing inventory.
One thing that caught my attention is they include amino acid analysis alongside the standard HPLC and MS—that's not always standdard but it help confirm the sequence integrity for the C181H291N55O51S2 structure. It basically gives you another layer of confidence that the peptide is what it says it is, especially for longer peptides like this one.
For supply, the MOQ is reasonable for a single study, and packaging is in sealed vials under inert atmosphere—that's better than reagent grade for this compound since it prevents oxidative degradation during handling. We've had issues before with peptides arriving partially degraded because of poor packaging, so this was a deciding factor.
Anyway, this isn't suited for anything beyond biochemical studies—it's not formulated for in vivo work or any clinical application, so don't let anyone in the lab try to repurpose it. The 99% purity and the tight QC make it a solid choice for our binding and activity assays, and the batch-specific documentation will help with traceability if we need to publish.
Our standard MOQ is 1 gram per vial, but we can discuss smaller quantities for initial research purposes. Just reach out to our sales team.
Yes, every shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis with HPLC, MS, and amino acid analysis results for that specific batch. You can request it before placing an order.
Keep it at -20°C in the original sealed vial, protected from light. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles and moisture exposure for best stability.
Yes, it's soluble in water or acetic acid solution. We recommend dissolving it in sterile water just before use and discarding any leftover solution.
Standard orders ship in 3-5 business days. If you need custom vial labeling or special packaging, lead time is usually 7-10 days depending on the request.
