We've been moving this compound for years, mostly to labs working on neuropathic pain models or seizure disorder studies, and honestly, what it does is pretty straightforward for a GABA analog—it binds the alpha2-delta subunit of votage-gated calcium channels, which cuts down on excitatory neurotransmitter release, and the 99% purity via HPLC means you're not chasing ghost peaks in your binding assays.
Typical storage is 2-8°C in a dry place, which you'll want to follow closely, not that it degrades fast at room temp but we've seen moisture pick up after a month or so on the shelf, and the melting point of 184-186°C is a nice sanity check when you're verifying your batch—you can run a quick differential scanning calorimetry and know if something's off, but I wouldn't stress about the boiling point since nobody's vaporizing this stuff for research use.
Most buyers we work with go for the 5mg or 10mg dosing in their rodent models, though we also see it in electrophysiology setups where they're looking at synaptic transmission; just keep in mind it's not great for acute toxicity screens above 300 mg/kg because you'll get too much sedation and the data gets muddy, so plan your dose range carefully.
Quailty-wise, every drum we ship includes a COA from our in-house HPLC run, and the white crystalline powder is consistent batch to batch (usually within 0.3% purity variation), which is tighter than what you'd get from some smaller suppliers, and if you request it, our company can include the TDS for the physicochemical property, but the COA covers teh critical bits.
Lead time on this is about 20 days or so from order if we're out of stock—we usually keep a small buffer of 10 kilograms on hand, but once that's gone it's a 2-4 week production cycle, so check the MOQ of 100 grams per order and give us a heads-up if you need expedited shipping because air freight is possible (and pricey).
Our MOQ is 1 kilogram for this product, but we can discuss smaller trial quantities for first-time buyers.
Standard lead time is 7-14 business days after order confirmation, depending on your location and shipping method.
Yes, absolutely — each batch ships with a COA that includes the HPLC purity result, plus data on melting point and appearance.
Keep it at 2-8°C in a dry, sealed container away from light. That's critical for long-term stability.
We can accommodate custom packaging like sealed bags or drums, but particle size modification would require a minimum order increase — let's talk specifics.
