Reading the label: name, strength and form
How products in the catalog are named, what a strength per vial does and does not mean, and how combination products are labelled.
Every product in the T-PEPTIDES catalog is identified by three things: the compound name, the stated quantity per vial and the form. Together they define the product. A change in any one of them is a different product.
Names and synonyms
Many research peptides have more than one name: a development code, a non-proprietary name and sometimes an informal short name. SS-31 and elamipretide refer to the same molecule, as do PT-141 and bremelanotide. The catalog lists the name as supplied, with common synonyms shown alongside to make searching easier.
Strength per vial
The strength (for example 30 mg) is the stated quantity of compound in a single vial. Prices in the catalog are per vial, and products are supplied in boxes of 10 vials, so a box costs 10 × the vial price.
Salt forms
Some products specify a salt form, such as oxytocin acetate. Peptides are often isolated as salts of counter-ions left over from purification. The salt form is part of the product's identity.
Combination products
Where two compounds are supplied together in one vial, the label states the quantity of each. For example, "BPC-157 10mg + TB-500 10mg" means 20 mg in total, 10 mg of each component.
