Laboratory Handling
- 50mg vial + 3 mL solvent = 16.67 mg/mL
- Store lyophilized powder sealed at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture; allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to limit condensation.
- Reconstitute with sterile or bacteriostatic water, adding solvent slowly down the vial wall and swirling gently — do not shake.
- Store reconstituted solution at 2–8 °C and use within about 28 days; avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles by aliquoting if longer storage is needed.
- Record lot number and reconstitution date on every vial so results trace back to the matching Certificate of Analysis.

Quality & Verification
Every AHK-Cu batch sold by PeptidesDirect is independently tested for purity (HPLC), identity (LC-MS), and concentration. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is available on request and anchored to a CertikLabs verification record for public inspection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AHK-Cu suitable for human consumption?
No. AHK-Cu is sold strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. It is not a drug, supplement, cosmetic, or food product and must not be administered to humans or animals.
What purity is AHK-Cu?
AHK-Cu ships at ≥99% verified by reverse-phase HPLC with mass-spec identity confirmation on every batch.
How is AHK-Cu shipped and stored?
Vials are shipped lyophilized in temperature-controlled packaging. Store unopened lyophilized peptide at −20°C; once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8°C and use within 28 days.
