- Experimental Neurobiology: Investigated in in vitro and in vivo models to analyze peptide effects on cellular and molecular neural pathways.
Research FAQ
How does Semax differ from Selank in research?
While both peptides originate from ACTH-derived sequences, Semax is primarily used for studies of neurochemical signaling and gene expression, whereas Selank is applied in research on peptide-mediated stress and regulatory pathways.
What are the storage and stability requirements?
- Lyophilized Powder: Store at 2–8°C for short-term use or at -20°C for long-term preservation (up to 24 months).
- Reconstituted Solution: Keep refrigerated at 2–8°C and use within 28 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 vial wall and gently swirl until dissolved. Do not shake to preserve peptide structure.
