big number that actually matters here is the 875.06 g/mol molecular weight, because of that it means you're working with a fairly large peptide that reconstitutes cleanly in water or DMSO — I've seen batches that dissolve in under 30 seconds with gentle swirling, which is nice for time-sensitive assays. We usually have stock, but confirm lead time if you need more than 50 units or so.
Most buyers go with the 10mg vial for smaller pilot studies, and the 5L drum is easier to handle if you're scaling up — basically, the lyophilized powder stays stable for 24 months when kept at -20°C and protected form light, so you don't need to rush through it. It's better than reagent grade for this because teh purity is ≥99% with heavy metals under 20ppm, and residual solvents are below 0.1%, which matters when you're doing.
What it does is slow gastric emptying and reduce appetite through GLP-1 receptor agonism, pretty much the same mechanism as semaglutide but with a different binding profile — we've seen researchers use it for metabolic studies on glucose regulation in rodent models. But it's not suited for anything involving live human administration, since it's strictly research grade and non-sterile with endotoxin levels under 10EU/mg (usually 2-4 weeks lead time on larger orders).
You'll get a in a sealed vial (check the COA for batch-specific HPLC data), and I always tell buyers to reconstitute it fresh — don't store the solution for more than a week even if it looks clear. Also, one detail you might not think to ask: the stuff is hygroscopic, so open the vial in a dry enviornment or you'll get clumping.
We typically supply this peptide in research-grade quantities starting from 5 mg. If you need a specific amount for your study, just let us know and we can work out the details.
Each batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) showing purity ≥99%, heavy metals <20ppm, residual solvents <0.1%, and endotoxin levels <10EU/mg. We also provide HPLC and mass spec data upon request.
Keep it at -20°C in a freezer, protected from light. Make sure the vial stays sealed until use to avoid moisture. Under those conditions, it's stable for 24 months as stated.
Yes, it's soluble in both water and DMSO. Just reconstitute it right before use to avoid degradation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
No, it's non-sterile and intended for research purposes only. If you need it for in vivo work, you'll need to filter-sterilize the solution yourself before administration.
