Someone buying this for in vivo work will typically reconstitute it in sterile water or a DMSO stock solution first, then dilute with PBS or saline — we’ve seen labs use it for glucose tolerance tests mostly, and the 5mg vial is pretty much the go-to for a standdard 8-week mouse study.
We’ve been supplying this to a few academic groups and a contract research org that runs metabolic panels, and they usually request the 99% purity grade because the tighter tolerance cuts down on variability in their — our company can do ≥98% as well, but almost everyone goes with the higher spec (usually 99% hold time is 20 days or so form order).
Actually saw a handful of buyers run it in cell-based assays for GLP-1 receptor binding studies, but the poor aqueous solubility without DMSO pre-dissolving makes it a headache for high-throughput screening — we always recommend checking that with a pilot batch first if you’re doing suspension cultures.
it come as a in a 5ml serum vial with a crimp seal, and bulk MOQ is 50 grams for the custom lot, though we’ve done smaller orders for single-protein users; storage is straightforward at -20°C long-term, but if it sits at room temp for more than a week you’ll see a slow drop in activity below 97%.
One guy we ship to in the UK said his post-doc reconstitutes it at 1mg/ml in DMSO, stores teh aliquots at -80°C, and thaws them on ice — he’s been using the same lot for 14 months without any loss in binding affinity, which matches our shelf life claim of over two years when frozen.
It means you're getting material with at least 98% purity, which is solid for most lab work. If your study needs tighter specs, we also offer ≥99% purity — just let us know when ordering.
Our MOQ depends on the quantity you need — we can start from as low as a few grams for small batches, but for wholesale pricing we typically work with larger volumes. Reach out to our sales team with your target amount and they'll give you the exact MOQ.
We include a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with every batch, showing purity and identity results. If you need additional documents like MSDS or stability data, just ask — we can supply those too.
For long-term storage, keep it at -20°C to -80°C in a sealed, moisture-free container. If you're using it within a few weeks, 2–8°C is fine. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to keep the powder stable.
Yes, we can customize packaging sizes and labels to match your lab's needs — just specify your requirements when placing the order. There might be a small minimum for custom packaging, so check with our team for details.
