When you're digging into how cells age and why telomeres shorten over time, it help to have a tool that actually interacts with those pathways in a targeted way—most compounds just don't have that kind of specificity.
What we've got here is a tetrapeptide that's been used in studies looking at telomerase activation and cellular longevity, and it's pretty much the standerd for that niche; most buyers go with teh 10mg or 20mg vials to start.
It's a with >99% purity by HPLC, so you're not dealing with a lot of junk in there, and the molecular weight is 390.35 g/mol—that matters for dosing calculations, obviously.
Storage is straightforward: keep it at 2-8°C in dry conditions, and it'll hold up fine for 20 days or so once reconstituted, but we usually have stock on the 5mg through 60mg vials, so lead time is typically short.
Also, this isn't really suited for anything like acute toxicity screening or metabolic pathway work—it's really for those long-term aging and telomere studies where you need a clean, consistent peptide.
One thing a lot of researchers don't ask about upfront is the residual solvent profile—we run those checks anyway, but it's worth confirming your own protocols can handle trace levels if you're working at very low concentrations.
We typically require a minimum of 5 vials per order, but for small research batches we can sometimes do 2 vials. Just ask.
Standard lead time is 5-7 business days after payment confirmation. Rush orders can be processed in 2-3 days if we have stock.
Yes, every shipment includes a COA showing HPLC purity >99% and mass spec data. We can also share third-party lab results on request.
It's stable for at least 12 months when stored lyophilized at 2-8°C in dry conditions. Once reconstituted, use within 7 days and keep refrigerated.
We can customize vial sizes from 1mg to 100mg for bulk orders, but standard 60mg vials are ready to ship. Minimum for custom fills is 50 vials.
