Every order requires the customer to tick a declaration of research purpose.
Sales are restricted to adults.
MOLEVIA reserves the right to decline an order where the order details or correspondence indicate a use other than research.
The buyer is responsible for lawful use of the product and for health and safety in their laboratory.

Research areas

The peptides in our range are studied in vitro and in animal models. In some cases the published literature also describes clinical studies.

Growth hormone axis

This group includes analogues of growth hormone releasing factors and ghrelin-family peptides. Research focuses on the mechanisms of pituitary signalling.

CJC-1295 without DAC and CJC-1295 with DAC: GHRH analogues
Ipamorelin: pentapeptide, ghrelin receptor agonist
Sermorelin: GHRH fragment
Tesamorelin: GHRH analogue, approved as a medicine in the US and studied clinically

Full range: GH axis category.

Neuropeptides and regulatory peptides

Selank and Semax: synthetic analogues of naturally occurring regulatory peptides, studied in animal models
DSIP: nonapeptide described in the literature in the context of sleep rhythms
Kisspeptin-10: decapeptide and ligand of the KISS1R receptor

Full range: neuropeptides category.

Cellular ageing and mitochondria

Epitalon: tetrapeptide with the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly
SS-31: tetrapeptide targeting mitochondria, studied clinically
MOTS-c: mitochondria-derived peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA
NAD+: coenzyme present in living cells, not a peptide

Full range: cellular ageing category.

Tissue and immunology research

BPC-157: pentadecapeptide, a chain of 15 amino acids, studied in vitro and in animal models
TB-500: synthetic fragment of thymosin beta-4
Thymosin alpha-1: 28-amino-acid peptide studied in the context of the immune system
KPV: tripeptide Lys-Pro-Val, a fragment of alpha-MSH
GHK-Cu: tripeptide glycyl-histidyl-lysine bound to a copper ion

Full range: tissue research category.

Laboratory practice

Reconstitution

Dissolve lyophilised material in bacteriostatic water. Add the diluent slowly down the side of the vial and rotate the vial gently. Do not shake it, so that the peptide structure is preserved.

Storage

Lyophilised powder: keep tightly sealed, protected from light and moisture, typically at -20 °C, following the guidance on the product page.
Reconstituted solution: refrigerate and use within the time limit set by your laboratory procedure.
Label every vial with the batch number and the reconstitution date.

Purity verification

Purity is determined by HPLC and molecular mass is confirmed by mass spectrometry. We encourage you to compare these parameters with your own laboratory results.

Questions and contact

Have a question about quality or a research order? Read the FAQ and our quality page, or get in touch via contact. Our terms and privacy policy set out the rest of the conditions.

What does research use only (RUO) mean?

RUO products are chemical reagents intended solely for scientific research, laboratory analysis and reference applications. They are not medicines, dietary supplements or foods, and they are not intended for human or animal consumption, use or administration, or for diagnostic, preventive or therapeutic purposes.

Do I have to confirm the research purpose when ordering?

Yes. Every order requires you to tick a declaration that the product will be used for research purposes only. Orders are accepted only from adults aged 18 or over.

When can MOLEVIA decline an order?

We reserve the right to decline an order if the order details or correspondence indicate any use other than research, including any intended use in humans or animals.

Who is responsible for lawful use and laboratory safety?

The buyer is responsible for the lawful use of the product and for health and safety in their laboratory, including compliance with local regulations and standard operating procedures.

How is peptide purity verified for each batch?

Each batch is tested by HPLC, which confirms purity of 99% or higher, and by mass spectrometry (MS), which confirms molecular mass.
