How is a solution prepared?
This is how solutions are prepared in the lab.
Step 1 of 8: Disinfect
The stoppers of both vials are wiped with an alcohol swab.
- Disinfect. The stoppers of both vials are wiped with an alcohol swab.
- Draw up. The needle passes through the stopper of the bacteriostatic water and the plunger draws up liquid.
- Transfer. The liquid runs down the inside wall of the vial with powder.
- Mix. The vial is gently swirled until the solution is clear.
- Done. The solution is ready for use in research.
- Take sample. A new needle passes through the stopper and the plunger draws up part of the solution.
- Sample vial. The solution runs through the septum of the screw cap into a sample vial.
- Analyze. The sample vial goes into the autosampler; the instrument measures the solution in vitro.

Fragment 176-191 explained
AOD-9604 follows the C-terminal end of human growth hormone. Positions 2 to 16 match positions 177 to 191 of the mature hormone (UniProt P01241). The first position holds tyrosine where the hormone has phenylalanine. That is why the peptide is also called Tyr-hGH 177-191, and elsewhere fragment 176-191.
Two cysteines form a disulfide bridge that closes the middle of the chain into a small ring. Its CAS number is 221231-10-3. AOD-9604 is not authorized as a medicine. More in What is AOD-9604?
Purity and COA for every batch
Every batch of AOD-9604 is analyzed externally: HPLC determines purity (≥99%) and mass spectrometry confirms identity. With this peptide, the disulfide bridge counts: the bridged form weighs about 2 mass units less than the open form. The batch number on the label takes you to the right COA on Lab results.
Storage and shipping
Store AOD-9604 in the closed vial, cool, dry and dark, as the label and COA state. We ship from Europe in insulated packaging with tracking and add a cold pack in warm weather. On working days, we ship the same day for orders received and paid before 3 p.m. Central European time. Delivery takes 1–3 working days within Europe; we deliver within the EU only.

Where does AOD-9604 come from?
AOD-9604 was studied at Monash University in Australia; Heffernan and colleagues published on it in 2001 in Endocrinology. The peptide is modeled on the C-terminal end of human growth hormone, with tyrosine in the first position. PubChem describes it as an N-tyrosyl analog of a fragment of that hormone.
Background from the knowledge base
What are peptides?
A peptide is a short chain of amino acids joined by peptide bonds. How peptides differ from proteins, which peptides occur in nature, and which items in the catalog are not peptides.
Storing peptides in the lab
Which chemical reactions make a peptide degrade, which amino acids are sensitive to them, and how to handle temperature, moisture, light and record keeping in the lab.
