We've been moving this into the UK for years now, and the main thing people ask about is the paperwork — we make sure the HPLC and COA are in order, so customs doesn't hold it up. It's a lyophilized white powder, basically the same matrial labs use in metabolic studies, though I'd caution it's not intended for any human use.
Most buyers are running weight management research with it, but we've seen a fair number using it for diabetes pathway work as well. What it does is bind to GLP-1 receptors — that's the core mechanism — and purity runs at 99% or better by HPLC, which is tighter than what you'd get from some smaller suppliers.
Storage is pretty specific: you'll want it at -20°C, protected from light, or it degrades faster than you'd expect. We usually have stock in 1g vials, but our company can do bulk drums if you need them — just be aware the lead time on custom packaging is about 3 weeks or so. Molecular weight is 96.13 g/mol, and it's soluble in both water and organic solvents, so reconstitution is straightforward.
Actually, the CAS number is 2820-37-3, but that's only useful if you're cross-referencing with another supplier. We include the import documentation (usually a TDS and SDS) with every order, and we've had no issues with UK border checks on this — it's classified as a research chemcial.
One thing buyers don't always think about is that this isn't suited for oral dosing studies in its raw form — you'll need a vehicle and proper formulation work. We handle everything form small 100mg research packs up to kilo batches, and we've got a GMP facility for the larger runs.
So if you're comparing supliers, the main difference is we actually hold UK stock for the 1g and 5g sizes, so you'll get it in roughly 3-5 business days rather than waiting on internaional freight. The 10mg research kits move faster, but we usually have enough for smaller orders — just confirm lead time if you're buying 50 units or more.
