We've been running into issues with receptor activation consistency in our GLP-1 assays, so I ordered this to replace a batch that was giving us noisy. It's CAS 910463-68-2 with reported purity at ≥99% by HPLC, which is tighter than most reagent-grade options we've tried before. Storage is at -20°C and it come as a white or off-white powder—nothing unusual there.

Basically this is for teh lab team working on diabetes research, specifically the folks who need reliable GLP-1 receptor agonist to check target engagement. It's soluble in water, which saves us time reconstituting for cell-based work. Molecular weight is 4113.6 g/mol, so you'll want to calculate molarity carefully—we usually do a 1 mM stock and dilute from there.

The suplier we're using guarantees 24 months shelf life when stored properly (check lead time though—they've been running 20 days or so from order). MOQ was fine for our needs, and they provide a COA with each batch. I've seen some labs try this for weight management models, but honestly it's not ideal for that—the pharmacokinetics are pretty different in vivo than what we see in cell assays.

One thing I noticed when handling last batch: the powder can be electrostatic, so weigh it in a controlled humidity enviornment or use an antistatic spatula. Their pharmaceutical grade spec is supposed to be batch-to-batch consistent, which is why we're switching from a supplier who had more variability. We usually have stock, but confirm lead time on the first order.
