AOD-9604 Vial

Description

Sold as a laboratory reference material, the AOD-9604 5mg vial is a modified fragment corresponding to residues 176 to 191 of the hGH sequence. Fill weights of 5 mg and 2 mg are offered here, chosen before you order. The sequence runs to sixteen residues. The powder is white to off-white. Purity comes from an assay of that specific lot rather than a figure carried over from the last one. Not for human or veterinary consumption.

The label on the AOD-9604 5mg vial carries the compound, the fill weight and the lot number, and that is the extent of it.

The AOD-9604 5mg vial, specified

Everything that can honestly be said about the AOD-9604 5mg vial before the certificate is opened is listed below.

The format, the fill weight and the milligram arithmetic

The vial contains lyophilized powder. Water was taken out of the frozen solution under vacuum, which is gentler on a peptide than any form of heat and leaves behind a solid with very low moisture. That dryness is the whole point of the format. It is also why the certificate reports a water figure, since any moisture that stayed in the cake is moisture available to hydrolyse the peptide over time. Nothing about the AOD-9604 5mg vial is sold by volume.

Doing the division

Milligram content is the unit the AOD-9604 5mg vial is sold in, because it is the only figure that makes two listings comparable. With several fill weights on one page, there is no single per milligram figure to quote. There is a method. Divide each option price by the milligrams in that option, then compare the quotients rather than the prices, and read the assay percentage from the certificate alongside them. Compare the AOD-9604 5mg vial on that basis rather than on the price of the glass. The case is made at greater length in why price per milligram beats the price on the bottle.

Reading the certificate for this lot

A certificate of analysis is a short document and every line on it is doing work. There is a product name and a lot number, and the lot number has to match the label on the vial in your hand. There is a date of analysis. There is the HPLC purity figure with the chromatogram behind it. There is a mass spectrometry result against the expected mass. There is a water content percentage. There is the name of the laboratory that ran the work. The certificate issued with the AOD-9604 5mg vial is specific to the lot and not to the product line.

The assay is performed by a contract laboratory unconnected to this business. Any lot that comes back below its stated milligram content is pulled from sale, and the certificate stays published on the results page with everything else instead of quietly disappearing. Stock is withdrawn from sale where the certificate for the AOD-9604 5mg vial does not support the figures here. See how to read a certificate of analysis and check the lab before you check the numbers.

Purity, identity and moisture are three different measurements

The difference between gross contents and net peptide is not a rounding error. Counter ion and moisture together can account for a meaningful share of what a balance reports. Specifying which basis is in use is therefore part of specifying the product at all, and the figure used on this listing is the net one. The same methods are run on the AOD-9604 5mg vial as on every other lot on this shelf, and formulae and expected masses for compounds of this class can be checked through the FDA drugs section.

Why the name is inconsistent, and how to store the AOD-9604 5mg vial

Abbreviations here are inherited rather than designed. They come from the groups that first made a compound, from ingredient registers, from development programmes and from vendors, so two listings can look different and be identical. AOD-9604 stays abbreviated here. Expanded, the letters describe an intended action on the body, and a reagent listing cannot carry a sentence of that kind. The catalogue name carried by the AOD-9604 5mg vial is the one the trade uses, and a trade name is not an identifier.

Keep the vial sealed, cold and dark. Lyophilized material of this class is normally held at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius for short periods and at minus 20 degrees Celsius or below for longer ones, and the window for the lot is on this listing. Keep the certificate with the AOD-9604 5mg vial, since the lot number is the only thing joining the two.

Research use only, stated plainly

Offered for laboratory research use by qualified purchasers and for nothing else. Not for human or veterinary consumption, not a food, not a drug. No physiological description is published, no dosing figure, no administration protocol and no reconstitution procedure, and requests for them are declined rather than answered quietly. No part of this page describes a use for this material in a person or an animal. Bacteriostatic water, sterile diluents and syringes are stocked separately rather than sold as a set with the vial.

Two things are true at once. This is sold as a laboratory reference material, and that sentence on its own settles nothing, because a page that describes effects, timing or quantities for a person is describing a use whatever the footer says. See research use only is not a legal strategy, and the FDA warning letter archive.

The certificate travels with the lot number and is linked above. Nothing in this description goes further than that document goes. This item sits on the metabolic peptide shelf, inside the research peptide catalogue, and every certificate we hold is on the lab results page.
