Comes in quite a few packaing options—5mg up to 60mg—so the pricing scales with volume, and the 10mg is what most researchers start with for dose-response work, but bulk buyers usually go for the 30mg vials because you're paying less per milligram, roughly a 15-20% savings on the larger sizes versus buying multiple smaller ones.

Actually, we ordered this specifically for a metabolic pathway study that involves appetite regulation and energy expenditure, not for anything closer to human use, and teh calcium salt formulation has better stability in our experience than the acetate alternatives when you're running extended in vivo trials (usually 2-4 weeks depending on the protocol).

Purity is over 99% by HPLC, which is important because anything below 98% tends to introduce confounders in GLP-1 receptor binding assays, and the white powder form is lyophilized—it typically takes about 10-20 minutes to reconstitute, but you'll want to confirm solubility for your specific vehicle (DMSO or sterile water, usually) because the suplier doesn't specify.
Molecular weight is 4813.45 g/mol with CAS 2023788-19-2, and the storage is -20°C for long-term—we've had degradation issues with other batches stored at -4°C past 90 days, so that's a hard spec we don't bend on—but anyway, the powder is stable for a month or so at room temp if you're dosing daily.

We're buying form QSC because the COA is provided with each batch, and their documentation is better than reagent grade for this—they actually include a full HPLC trace and mass spec, which saves us the headache of independent verification—and the 50-vial mid-tier sample cost us about $180 per 10mg vial (check lead time, it was 20 days or so).

Not suited for anything beyond research—categorically not for human consumption, as the note says—and the 60mg vials are easier to handle than the 5mg ones because the vial size is standerd but powder mass is larger, so reconstitution is less prone to sample loss during transfer, which is a practical detail you only notice after handling a few of these.
