Molecular Structure
FAQ
How much is in each vial?
Each vial contains precisely the amount indicated on the label. For instance, a 10mg vial includes precisely 10mg of lyophilized peptide. Researchers may divide it into smaller fractions, such as four 2.5mg portions, while the total amount remains 10mg.
Does it come with instructions?
USA Peptides Direct products are designated for in vitro research. Prior to working with them, conduct thorough research. Our team will offer general assistance via text post-purchase.
What other supplies are needed?
Peptides come as lyophilized powder. They are not reconstituted, and any necessary bacteriostatic water or syringes must be obtained separately for research purposes.
How long does a vial last?
Peptides remain stable for up to 2 years in lyophilized powder form. After reconstitution, refrigerate and expect stability for about 2 months.
Is this a fragment of human growth hormone?
Yes. AOD-9604 is the synthetic C-terminal fragment (177–191) of human growth hormone (hGH).
What purity is provided?
Each vial is ≥99% by HPLC with MS identity confirmation; third-party testing is performed on every lot (COA via QR).
How should I reconstitute it?
Use sterile bacteriostatic water; gently swirl to dissolve. Avoid vigorous shaking, alkaline pH, and repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
Which in-vitro studies is AOD-9604 commonly used in?
Typical RUO uses include adipocyte lipolysis/lipogenesis assays, metabolic signaling studies, cartilage regeneration models, and obesity-related biomarker research.

Quality, Storage & Handling
Each lot is confirmed by HPLC (purity) and MS (identity); QR on the vial links to the batch COA. Independent U.S. labs verify purity, quantity, and endotoxin.
- Storage (lyophilized): −20 °C long-term or 2–8 °C short-term; keep desiccated and protected from light.
- After reconstitution: Use neutral, oxygen-poor buffer when possible; aliquot and store at ≤−20 °C; avoid repeated freeze–thaw.
- Working solutions: Prepare fresh; minimize exposure to light/alkaline pH to reduce degradation.
Shipping
