Description
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a 28-amino-acid thymic peptide widely used as a reference reagent in immunology and cell-signalling research. This listing is for laboratory-grade material sold to researchers across Canada as part of our research peptides Canada catalogue — a lyophilized 10 mg vial, shipped cold, with third-party analytical data tied to the specific batch in the box. It is intended for qualified investigators running in-vitro protocols, not for human or veterinary use.
Overview
The peptide is supplied as a dry, lyophilized powder in a sealed vial, ready for reconstitution in a solvent appropriate to your protocol. Lyophilization is the standard format for peptide reagents because the dry powder is far more stable in transit and in storage than a pre-made solution, and it lets the researcher set the final concentration rather than inheriting one. Choose a single 10 mg vial for method development or a box of ten where a study runs across multiple plates, timepoints or arms and consistency between vials matters. Each shipment carries a certificate of analysis matched to the batch you receive, so the purity and identity data on file describe your material specifically, not a representative lot.
What it is known for
Buyers know this product for two things: the peptide itself, which sits in the recovery and repair side of the catalogue and is one of the more frequently requested thymic fragments in immune-signalling work, and the documentation behind it. Independent testing by Janoshik — HPLC for purity, mass spectrometry for identity — is what separates a reagent you can cite in a methods section from one you simply have to trust. Sourcing domestically also removes the customs delays and temperature exposure that come with long international transit, which is a practical reason Canadian labs choose it over overseas listings.
Key features
- Lyophilized powder format — More stable than a solution during shipping and storage, and lets you reconstitute to whatever concentration your protocol calls for.
- Third-party HPLC purity testing — Purity is verified by an independent lab rather than asserted by the seller, so your starting material is a known quantity before the first experiment.
- Mass spectrometry identity confirmation — Confirms the compound in the vial is the peptide named on the label — the check that catches mislabelling and substitution.
- Batch-matched certificate of analysis — The paperwork corresponds to your specific vial, which is what a reviewer, supervisor or QA process will ask for.
- 10 mg vial, single or box of ten — Scale to the work: one vial for pilot runs, a box of ten to keep an extended study on material from the same production run.
- Cold storage and cold shipping — Peptides degrade with heat and time; controlled handling from our facility to your door protects the integrity you paid for.
- Shipped domestically from Canada, tracked nationwide — Shorter transit, no border hold-ups, and visibility on where the parcel is so cold-chain time is predictable.
- Discreet packaging — Deliveries to shared labs, campus mailrooms or receiving docks arrive without drawing attention to contents.
Benefits
- Analytical data you can point to, rather than a supplier claim you have to take on faith
- Reproducibility across a study when you order the box and work from consistent material
- Predictable domestic delivery timelines when planning experiments around reagent arrival
- Control over final concentration and solvent choice, rather than being locked into a pre-made dilution
- One less variable to troubleshoot when a result looks unexpected

Typical applications
- In-vitro immunology and cell-signalling research
- Comparative studies using a characterized thymic peptide reference
- Assay and method development where a documented reagent is required
- Multi-arm or multi-timepoint protocols requiring consistent material across runs
Important information
- For laboratory research use only. Not a drug, supplement, food or cosmetic. Not for human or veterinary use, ingestion or administration.
- Keep the vial cold and sealed until you are ready to reconstitute; store the dry powder as received.
- Reconstitute in a solvent suited to your protocol and handle under conditions appropriate to your lab’s practice.
- Once in solution, peptides are less stable than the lyophilized form — plan use accordingly and keep reconstituted material cold.
- Request or download the batch-matched certificate of analysis and confirm the batch number matches your vial before use.
- Confirm your institution’s receiving and handling requirements for temperature-controlled shipments so the parcel is not left at ambient temperature.
Common questions
What does third-party tested actually mean here?
The material is sent to Janoshik, an independent analytical laboratory, which runs HPLC to assess purity and mass spectrometry to confirm identity. The results come back as a certificate of analysis tied to that production batch — so the data describes the vial you receive rather than a sample lot from some earlier run.
How is it supplied and what do I need to use it?
As a lyophilized powder in a sealed vial. You will need a suitable research solvent and the usual sterile handling equipment for your protocol. The concentration is yours to determine when you reconstitute.
Should I order one vial or the box of ten?
A single 10 mg vial suits pilot work, method development or a short protocol. The box of ten is the better choice when a study runs long enough that you would otherwise reorder mid-project — working from the same batch removes lot-to-lot variation as a confounder.
How should I store it?
Cold, sealed and dry, as received. The lyophilized form is the stable state; once reconstituted, keep the solution cold and use it within a timeframe appropriate to your protocol.
Where does it ship from and how long does it take?
It ships cold and discreetly from within Canada with nationwide tracking. Domestic dispatch means no border clearance and shorter time in transit than an overseas order, which matters for temperature-sensitive material.
Can this be used in humans or animals?
No. This is a research reagent sold for in-vitro laboratory use only. It is not a drug, supplement, food or cosmetic, is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and is not for human or veterinary administration.
In summary
A lyophilized 10 mg Thymosin Alpha-1 reagent with independent HPLC purity and mass-spec identity data, a certificate of analysis matched to your batch, and cold, tracked shipping from within Canada. Available as a single vial or a box of ten for longer studies. Research use only.
