Peer-style overviews of peptides, laboratory methods, and sourcing guides. Written for laboratory professionals. RUO only.

How we read identity and purity fields on a certificate — without inventing numbers.

What a blend COA must show when two compounds share a label.

Why the storefront name is not the molecular identity.

Melanotan II and other analogues that are not listed here — and why.

How temperature-sensitive lots leave the warehouse.

Melanotan II: Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2, CAS 121062-08-6. Identity note. Not listed in this catalog.

CJC-1295 DAC is not modified GRF 1-29. Discriminator is formula, not the storefront name. Not a catalog SKU.

This catalog’s TB-500 listing is the Ac-LKKTETQ fragment, not full thymosin β4.

α-MSH 11–13 (KPV, CAS 67727-97-3). PubChem CID 125672. Free acid is not Ac-KPV-NH2.

ACTH(4–7)-PGP, sequence MEHFPGP, CAS 80714-61-0. Catalog RUO is not the Russian registered drug.

C-terminal KISS1 decapeptide amide YNWNSFGLRF-NH2. Not kisspeptin-54.

N-acetyl 28-mer (thymalfasin, CAS 62304-98-7). Unrelated to TB-500.

Two CAS numbers on one vial. Blend COA must show both masses. No mix ratio invented.

Two sequences, two masses. A blend is not a third CAS. Lot paper must show both.

Curcuminoids + phosphatidylcholine. No peptide CAS. Meriva is a trademark, not a license claim.

A named catalog blend has no CAS. Identity is the lot COA component list.

HPLC area% is a UV chromatogram ratio, not milligrams of peptide in the vial. Mass spec, TFA, and NPC on a lot COA.

Tyr-hGH 177–191 (CAS 221231-10-3) is not unmodified fragment 176–191. Sequence, disulfide, and CAS on the listing.
