Research Applications
GHK-Cu is referenced in laboratory research focused on pathway signaling, receptor-binding assays, analytical testing, cell-based investigations, and method development. This product is supplied as a reference standard only and is not formulated, labeled, or packaged for any in-vivo, diagnostic, cosmetic, food, or therapeutic application.
Storage & Handling
Store according to the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis. Unless otherwise specified, keep research materials sealed, protected from light, and handled under appropriate laboratory conditions. Reconstituted or prepared materials should be stored at 2-8C and used within the validated stability window. Always handle in accordance with standard laboratory safety practices.
Quality & Documentation
Each lot is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) referencing identity, purity, and applicable analytical results. The COA is the authoritative source for lot-specific data and supersedes any general product description.
RESEARCH USE ONLY. This product is intended exclusively for in-vitro laboratory and research applications. Not for human or veterinary consumption, diagnostic use, food use, cosmetic use, or therapeutic purposes. Handling should be performed only by qualified researchers in an appropriate laboratory setting.
Tested twice, by someone else
Identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry and purity is measured by reverse-phase HPLC. Both are run by an independent ISO 17025-accredited lab, not in-house.
The certificate above matches the exact lot you'll receive. If your label shows a different lot number, enter it on the homepage lookup and you'll get that lot's document instead.
Reconstitution (for research handling)
Add bacteriostatic water slowly down the inner wall of the vial - never directly onto the powder. Let it dissolve without shaking; gentle swirling is fine. Figures are provided for laboratory handling only and are not directions for use in humans or animals.
