CAS 910463-68-2, molecular weight around 4113.6 g/mol, and we're getting it as a white to off-white powder at a purity of 99% or better via HPLC—that's the baseline we actually need to justify the cost for research-grade work.
It's soluble in water, which basically makes handling simpler for our biochem team, and storage at -20°C in a dark, dry place is what we usually confirm before ordering because degradation happens fast if you're not careful.
Most of the groups using this are running metabolic or GLP-1 studies, and they'll typically need a few grams per set of experiments (5mg or 10mg depending on your cell line)—it's pretty much standdard for this type of assay despite not being suited for any in vivo application outside of sanctioned protocols.
3 to 4 weeks for the order to come through, give or take, and we always ask for the COA upfront—it's tighter than what you'd get form some reagent-grade supliers, and the full analytical documentation is part of the batch release (check lead time or they might hold it).
A detail no one mentions but matters: the powder can clump slightly if exposed to moisture during reconstitution, so we pre-measure under inert gas for stability rather than relying on shipping packaing to cover it.
Anyway, since we're buying in bulk for the research team, the MOQ was manageable and supply chain hasn't been an issue, but the internal guys wanted to confirm the HPLC purity before the first batch cleared.
