Immune & Inflammation compounds in the laboratory

What this research area covers

Immune & Inflammation groups synthetic peptides whose published literature sits in immunology: thymic peptides such as Thymosin Alpha-1, a 28-residue N-acetylated sequence first characterised in thymic extracts. Related melanocortin-derived and cathelicidin-derived sequences that appear in innate-immunity and TLR-signalling studies are listed in other categories. Every listing is lyophilised synthetic material supplied for laboratory research use only. The category is a taxonomy of what the literature studies, not a description of what a compound does in a person.

How the compounds are characterised

A research peptide is identified by its sequence, its molecular formula and its molecular weight. Thymosin Alpha-1, for example, is C129H215N33O55 at 3108.30 g/mol, and its N-terminal acetyl group is part of the identity that a mass-spectrometry result has to reproduce. Purity is reported as the main-peak area of an HPLC trace against a stated specification. Each product page lists the CAS number, formula and weight next to the sizes offered, so a figure on a certificate can be checked against the catalog value rather than taken on trust.

How lots are tested and published

An independent US laboratory tests the lots it receives. The laboratory reports HPLC purity and mass-spectrometry identity for the sample it received, names the product and the batch, and the resulting Certificate of Analysis is published in the COA library and linked from the product page for the lots it covers. One report describes one sample: match the product name, vial size and batch printed on the report to the vial in front of you, and regard a report that names a different size or batch as a different document. Where no certificate is published for a product, the page says so instead of borrowing another lot's report.

Handling and storage of lyophilised material

Lyophilised peptides ship at ambient temperature in protective packaging; the freeze-dried cake is stable in transit, and the vial should stay sealed and dry until it is needed at the bench. For long-term laboratory storage, follow the storage note on the lot's certificate, keep the vial out of light and away from repeated temperature cycling, and record the lot number in the lab notebook with the date the vial was opened. A reconstituted solution is a different material from the dry powder: its stability depends on the solvent and the storage temperature, and it should be labelled with the date of preparation.

Reading the certificate

Read the laboratory's name first, then the sample name and batch, then the tests actually performed. An HPLC purity figure is the percentage of the main peak, not a statement about biological activity; the mass-spectrometry result should agree with the catalog's molecular weight within the instrument's tolerance. A certificate that is missing one of these fields, or whose sample name does not match the vial, is a question for us before the vial goes into an experiment. The library entry carries the laboratory's own verification link where the lab provides one.

About Immune & Inflammation

What does the Immune & Inflammation category include?
Peptides studied in inflammation, innate-immunity, thymus-axis, and TLR-signaling research literature — including thymosin and KPV-class compounds.
Are Immune & Inflammation products approved for human or veterinary use?
No. Every compound listed under Immune & Inflammation is supplied for laboratory research use only (RUO). These materials are not drugs, have not been evaluated or approved by the FDA, and are not for human or veterinary use, diagnostic, therapeutic, or in-vivo experimental use. Customers certify research use at checkout per our Terms of Sale.
How is purity verified for Immune & Inflammation compounds?
AV Analytics provides our current independent testing. Existing Bioviridian reports remain available while remaining AV Analytics reports are pending. For Immune & Inflammation compounds, check the actual certificate for the laboratory, product, batch, tests performed and results. Historical reports retain their original laboratory identity; confirm the report matches your vial size and lot.
Where are Immune & Inflammation research peptides synthesized?
Immune & Inflammation compounds are made in the USA from active ingredient sourced from vetted domestic and international suppliers: synthesized at a US facility in an ISO-7 certified cleanroom, then filled and finished by a US manufacturing partner at its cGMP-certified facility. An independent US laboratory tests the lots it receives, and the resulting Certificate of Analysis is published for the lots it covers; a published report records the product, vial size and batch named in that document, so match it to the vial you receive. Every order ships domestically from the United States.
