Basically needed something that could handle the neuroplasticity and memory function studies I've been running, and the 99% purity on this batch means fewer variables to chase down when you're looking at peptide interactions.
The molecular weight comes in at 813.9 g/mol, CAS 80714-61-0, and it's a —we usually stock it in 5mg vials, ten per box, which works out to about 50mg total and that's enough for a couple of weeks of assays if you're careful.
What it does is it's an ACTH (4-7) analog with a Pro-Gly-Pro sequence, and that structure is actually better than just straight ACTH fragments for this kind of work because of stability issues we've seen with shorter peptides.
One thing I noticed when handling it is teh powder can be a bit electrostatic if the humidity's low, so we're using antistatic spatulas for reconstitution—not a dealbreaker but good to know if you're doing precise dosing.
Storage is straightforward at 2-8°C, but it's not suited for long-term shelf storage at room temp, and we usually have stock but confirm lead time because the 5mg vials move faster than the 10mg (check lead time—usually 2-4 weeks).
Also, the 99% purity is tighter than most research-grade peptides we've sourced, and that matters for the HPLC runs where you don't want baseline noise form impurities screwing up your.
