Laboratory guides
Plain-language guides to certificates of analysis, quality testing and handling research materials in the laboratory.
GHK-Cu: structure, history and published researchAHK-Cu vs GHK-Cu: comparing two copper tripeptidesSNAP-8 vs Argireline: two SNAP-25 mimic peptides comparedSelank: the tuftsin-derived heptapeptide explainedAdamax and Semax: what is known about this analogBPC-157 vs TB-500: two research peptides comparedMOTS-c: the mitochondrial-derived peptide explainedKPV: the α-MSH tripeptide explainedEpitalon (AEDG): what the research coversThymosin alpha-1: structure, history and researchWhy a peptide's molecular weight can differ: salts, caps and oxidationHPLC purity: what the percentage on a COA meansWhat high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) measures, how a peptide purity percentage is calculated, and what to check on the chromatogram of a certificate of analysis.Mass spectrometry: how a peptide's identity is confirmedHow mass spectrometry confirms that a peptide is what the label says, what the expected molecular mass is, and how to read that panel on a certificate of analysis.How to verify a lot with the QR code on the vialStep by step: scan the QR code on a Malibu Aminos vial, open the certificate of analysis for its lot, and confirm the report matches the product in your lab.Lyophilized peptides: what they are and how labs store themWhat lyophilization is, why research peptides are supplied as a powder, and general laboratory storage conditions: temperature, light and humidity.How to choose a research compound supplier: 7 pointsSeven criteria for evaluating a supplier of research peptides and compounds: per-lot certificates, the testing lab, origin, traceability and support.
