Research Education & FAQs
What are the strict legal and safety limitations for research-grade peptides?
All products listed in this research database are intended solely for laboratory research purposes and are not for human or animal consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic use. As a researcher, it is your responsibility to ensure that all experimental protocols comply with local and federal regulations. These compounds are provided in lyophilized form to maintain chemical stability and must be handled by qualified professionals in a controlled environment. Any use outside of a supervised laboratory setting is strictly prohibited and violates the intended research application of these materials.
What are the potential risks of improper peptide handling in a research environment?
Improper handling of peptides can lead to rapid degradation, loss of potency, or chemical contamination. Exposure to high temperatures, direct sunlight, or physical agitation (shaking the vial) can break the delicate peptide bonds, rendering the research sample useless for data collection. Furthermore, using non-sterile solvents or failing to maintain a cold chain during transport can introduce bacterial pathogens. Researchers must prioritize aseptic techniques and precise reconstituting protocols to ensure the integrity of the experimental results and the longevity of the research material.
What is the "Telomerase Theory" behind Epitalon?
Epitalon is a tetrapeptide that induces telomerase activity in somatic cells. By elongating telomeres, it allows cells to exceed the Hayflick limit (the number of times a cell can divide), theoretically extending the lifespan of the cell line and delaying cellular senescence in longevity research.
