Research reference material
AHK
A copper-complexed tripeptide, supplied lyophilised in a 100 mg fill against a published HPLC certificate.
What it is
AHK is the tripeptide Ala-His-Lys. The material we stock is the copper complex, and the certificate is issued against AHK-Cu — which is what you are buying, and why the report is headed that way rather than with the bare tripeptide.
The certificate covers the 100 mg fill. A 50 mg fill has no report of its own and is not listed.
The certificate
Every lot we list is held against an independent report, published as it was issued. This fill assayed at 99.742% by HPLC.

Storage and handling
Supplied lyophilised and sealed. Hold the unopened vial at −20 °C, away from light and moisture; brief transit at ambient temperature does not affect lyophilised material. Once reconstituted, keep it refrigerated, avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles, and treat it as you would any other short-dated laboratory reagent.
Bacteriostatic water for reconstitution is listed separately as a laboratory consumable. Work from the figures on the certificate and your own standard practice when preparing solutions — we publish the assay, not a protocol.
