Semaglutide is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist developed for metabolic research applications. This synthetic peptide analog demonstrates extended half-life characteristics while maintaining the glucose-dependent insulin secretion properties of native GLP-1.
The 5mg formulation comes in sterile vials suitable for laboratory reconstitution. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure ≥98% purity as verified by HPLC analysis. The product is manufactured under GMP conditions for consistent research quality.
Researchers utilize semaglutide in various metabolic studies including: glucose homeostasis investigations, appetite regulation research, and body composition analysis. The compound's unique pharmacokinetic profile makes it particularly valuable for extended-duration studies requiring less frequent dosing compared to shorter-acting GLP-1 analogs.
Proper storage at 2-8°C maintains product stability for 24 months. Short-term transport at 15-25°C is acceptable for up to 7 days. Always inspect the lyophilized powder before reconstitution - it should appear as a white to off-white crystalline substance free from discoloration or particulate matter.
