What is Semax used for in research?

Semax is supplied strictly as a research reference material for qualified in vitro and analytical laboratory workflows. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, diagnosis, or therapeutic application.

How is Semax purity verified?

Batches are accompanied by specification documentation and Certificate of Analysis (COA) data where available. Review the product page and request COA details before incorporating material into regulated studies.

How should Semax be stored?

Store lyophilized material according to the label and COA. After reconstitution, follow your institutional SOP for temperature, light exposure, and working-solution stability.

Who can purchase Semax from Science Based Peptides?

Catalog items are sold to qualified researchers and laboratories for research use only. Buyers must confirm age and research-use eligibility before checkout.

Does Science Based Peptides ship Semax in the USA?

Yes — we fulfill research peptide orders to qualified customers in the United States subject to product availability and our shipping policies listed at checkout.

What is Semax?

Semax (Semax (ACTH 4-7 Pro8-Gly9-Pro10)) is offered as a research reference material for qualified analytical and in vitro laboratory workflows. ACTH-derived synthetic peptide analog for neuropharmacology and neuropeptide pathway research in controlled animal models. For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.

How it Works

In research settings, Semax is used to probe defined biological pathways under controlled laboratory conditions. Mechanistic studies typically combine receptor or cell-based assays with analytical verification of peptide identity and integrity.

Purity & Testing

99% minimum purity (per specification / COA for the active batch). Each lot is tied to batch documentation so researchers can align material received with COA and specification records before use in regulated workflows. Request a COA from this page if you need documentation prior to purchase.

Storage & Handling

Store lyophilized material per label and COA. Solvent selection and working-solution preparation must follow institutional laboratory SOPs.
