AOD-9604 5 mg

What is AOD-9604?

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 177-191 of human growth hormone, the C-terminal fragment associated with the hormone's effects on lipid metabolism rather than its growth-promoting domain. It carries a tyrosine addition at the N-terminus, giving 16 residues in total. Pepstral supplies it as a lyophilized powder for in-vitro laboratory research only.

All applications above are in-vitro or preclinical research contexts. AOD-9604 is sold for laboratory research only and is not for human or animal use.

What does the certificate for lot AOD5-0803 show?

Every lot of AOD-9604 is tested by an independent US laboratory before it is listed. The report for lot AOD5-0803 is in the COA library and the lot number printed on the vial matches it. The current results:

Test	Method	Lot AOD5-0803 result
Identity	LC-MS/MS	AOD-9604 · conforms
Content	HPLC quantitation	5.16 mg
Purity	RP-HPLC (214 nm)	99.78%
Endotoxin	USP <85>	<0.05 EU/mL
Heavy metals	USP <232>	<0.01 ppm

How is AOD-9604 handled and stored?

Sealed vials are stored at -20°C away from light and keep for 24 months. To reconstitute, add bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside wall of the vial and swirl until clear; never shake. Once in solution, keep at 2 to 8°C and use within our 28-day default for a preserved solution. The concentration table gives the dilution volumes and microlitre aliquots for this vial.
