We’re seeing more labs reach for this one lately, usually for diabetes or metabolic work where consistency across replicates actually matters, the ≥99% purity by HPLC holds up well in our in-house checks.
it come as a white powder in sterile glass vials, roughly 4.1 kDa, and you’ll want to store it at 2-8°C for the long haul—or ideally at -20°C if you can manage it, that’s usually better for stability.
Solubility is pretty straightforward in water or standerd buffers, no weird tricks there, but we do recommend gently swirling rather than vortexing to avoid foaming, something we’ve learned teh hard way.
One thing it’s not really suited for is acute toxicity work with high doses, the margin isn’t tight for that use, so stick to metabolic endpoint studies and you’ll be fine.
Anyway, for US or EU we ship with full COA and import-friendly docs like TDS and an SDS, and our MOQ is 1 gram or so—bulk orders of 50 grams typically clear customs faster though, our lead time for stock is about 14 days.
We typically require a minimum order of 10 vials per batch, but we can discuss smaller quantities for first-time research clients.
Standard lead time is 5-7 business days for in-stock items. Custom orders or bulk quantities may take up to 14 days.
Yes, every batch comes with a COA confirming ≥99% purity and identity via HPLC and mass spectrometry. We can also share third-party testing results on request.
For long-term stability, -20°C is recommended. If you're using it within a few months, 2-8°C works fine. Just avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
It comes as a sterile lyophilized powder in glass vials, so you'll need to reconstitute it with water or buffer before use. Shelf life is 24 months if stored properly.
