- Tissue Repair Studies: Applied in in vitro models to investigate re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and related cellular processes.
Research FAQ
How does TB-500 differ from BPC-157 in research?
BPC-157 is primarily used in studies on growth factor signaling and gut-brain axis interactions, whereas TB-500 is used for research on actin dynamics and cell migration in experimental tissue models.
What are the storage and stability requirements?
Store the lyophilized powder at 2–8°C for short-term use. For long-term preservation (up to 24 months), store at -20°C. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated and use within 21 days under controlled laboratory conditions.
What is the recommended reconstitution procedure?
- Solvent: Bacteriostatic Water or Sterile 0.9% Saline
- Standard Dilution (for laboratory preparation):
- Add 2mL of solvent for a 10mg vial to achieve 5mg/mL
- Add 1mL of solvent for a 10mg/mL solution
- Handling: Slowly introduce solvent along the side of the vial and gently swirl until fully dissolved. Do not shake to preserve structural integrity.
