Overview

AOD-9604 5 mg is a synthetic hexadecapeptide derived from the C-terminus of human growth hormone (hGH), supplied by
Peptide Tech at ≥ 99% purity (HPLC/MS verified) for in-vitro, cellular, and biochemical research use only (RUO). In controlled lab models, AOD-9604 is used to interrogate lipid-metabolism pathways, β-adrenergic–linked signaling, and peptide stability for analytical method development.

Storage & Handling

Lyophilized (unopened): Store at ≤ −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. For long-term archival, ≤ −80 °C is recommended.
After reconstitution: Aliquot immediately to avoid repeated freeze–thaw; store at ≤ −80 °C (≤ −20 °C acceptable for short-term studies).
General notes: Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to minimize condensation. Use sterile technique and compatible buffers; avoid strong acids/bases.
Research Use Only (RUO): Not for human or veterinary use, ingestion, diagnostic, or therapeutic applications.
