It's basically a synthetic peptide that targets both GLP-1 and GIP pathways, used mainly in diabetes and metabolic research for its glucose-dependent insulin secretion effects.
Most buyers go with the 10mg vial for longer metabolic studies, but we also see the 5mg used in acute dose-response work — both formats are lyophilized white powder at ≥99% purity.
We've had batches come back form third-party labs with HPLC-MS results verifying molecular weight and structure (CAS 2381089-83-2), though I'd double-check your own storage conditions since improper freezing can degrade it faster than stated 2-year shelf life.
Actually, it's not great for cell-based assays unless you reconstitute in sterile water and use within 20 days or so — the buffer stability isn't something we guarantee beyond that timeframe.
You'll get a COA per lot, and we usually stock both vial sizes, but lead time on the 10mg can stretch to 2-3 weeks if we're between.
One concrete thing: teh powder is surprisingly hygroscopic, so once you open that foil pouch, reseal it quickly or transfer to a desiccated vial — something most spec sheets don't warn you about.
Yes, we can start with a single 5mg vial. There's no minimum order quantity requirement for this product, so you can order exactly what you need for initial research.
Standard lead time is 3-5 business days for in-stock items. If you need it faster, we can expedite shipping at cost.
Absolutely, a COA is included with every batch. It shows the HPLC purity results, usually 99.2-99.5%, along with the appearance and other specs.
Store them in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture, ideally at 2-8°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles after reconstitution.
We can adjust vial sizes or add custom labels for research projects, but there may be a minimum quantity for custom packaging. Let us know what you need and we'll check feasibility.
