Manufacturing and quality control
Thymosin Alpha-1 is produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and independently verified by a third-party analytical laboratory before release. Every batch ships with a complete Certificate of Analysis. Standard QC includes:
- Mass spectrometry for molecular weight confirmation (the 28-amino-acid sequence is among the longer peptides in the catalog and verification is critical)
- Reverse-phase HPLC for purity (99%+ standard)
- Counterion content (typically acetate or TFA salt)
- Karl Fischer water content
- LAL endotoxin testing available on request
Wholesale availability
- No minimum order quantity
- Tiered pricing — per-unit cost decreases with monthly volume
- 24-hour fulfillment from US-based warehouse
- API integration for automated order routing
White-label and private-label options
Generic, white-label, or private-label fulfillment available. See the white-label vs. private-label guide.
Packaging, shipping, and storage
Thymosin Alpha-1 ships as lyophilized powder in sealed amber vials with tamper-evident closure. Shock-protection packaging is standard. Cold-chain shipping is available. Because Thymosin Alpha-1 is a longer peptide (28 amino acids), it tends to be more sensitive to storage conditions than shorter peptides — careful handling and storage at −20°C lyophilized is particularly important for stability.
Compliance and labeling
Thymosin Alpha-1 is supplied to verified B2B partners exclusively for research use under strict research-use-only labeling. Resellers are responsible for maintaining research-use-only labeling, the FDA disclaimer, and compliance with state, local, and international regulations. Note that Thymosin Alpha-1 is the active ingredient in a prescription pharmaceutical in some jurisdictions; research-grade Thymosin Alpha-1 supplied here is for laboratory research only, not for clinical or therapeutic application.
FAQ
How does Thymosin Alpha-1 compare to TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4 fragment)?
Thymosin Alpha-1 and TB-500 are chemically distinct peptides despite the shared “Thymosin” naming. Thymosin Alpha-1 is a 28-amino-acid peptide; TB-500 is the synthetic 7-amino-acid acetylated fragment of the larger Thymosin Beta-4 protein. Different molecular weights, different sequences, different research profiles. See the TB-500 page for that peptide’s specifications.
What pack sizes are available?
Standard pack sizes are 5 mg and 10 mg vials. Custom pack sizes available through private-label fulfillment.
What’s the standard purity?
99%+ verified by HPLC and confirmed by mass spectrometry. The longer 28-amino-acid sequence means MS verification is particularly important to confirm full-length synthesis without truncated side products.
Are sample COAs available?
Yes. Verified partners can request COAs from recent batches before placing an order.
How is Thymosin Alpha-1 stored?
Lyophilized at −20°C for long-term stability. After reconstitution, store at 2–8°C, minimize freeze-thaw cycles (consider single-use aliquots), and use within the documented stability window for the relevant research application.
