SNAP-8 10mg

Description

SNAP-8 10mg from Ameano Peptides is 10mg of SNAP-8 in a sealed glass vial. SNAP-8 is a cosmetic octapeptide. It’s for in-vitro and lab research only.

SNAP-8 at a glance

SNAP-8 (acetyl octapeptide-3) is an eight-amino-acid peptide that extends argireline by two amino acids. Like argireline, it mimics the end of SNAP-25, a protein needed to release acetylcholine at nerve endings.

It’s used in cosmetic research on expression lines.

How SNAP-8 acts in the lab

SNAP-8 works the same way as argireline: it mimics the N-terminal end of SNAP-25 and competes for a spot in the SNARE complex that releases acetylcholine.

The two extra amino acids are meant to make that competition more effective. Less acetylcholine release means weaker muscle contraction in the models used.

SNAP-8 purity and COA

The purity spec for SNAP-8 10mg is 99% or higher by HPLC, and that’s the floor for each batch.

The label on every vial shows the compound, the amount and the batch. Ask us for the certificate of analysis for your batch and we’ll email it over, which is handy if your lab keeps paperwork on file.

Write the batch number in your lab notes when you open a new vial. If you ever need to compare results between orders, that’s the detail you’ll want.

How to reconstitute SNAP-8 10mg

Concentration is just the amount in the vial divided by the liquid you add. With 10mg in this vial:

• 1mL of diluent gives 10mg/mL
• 2mL of diluent gives 5mg/mL
• 3mL of diluent gives 3.33mg/mL

Choose the volume that suits your measurements. Mark the vial with the concentration and date so nobody has to guess later.

Research diluent solution or bacteriostatic water both work. Add it slowly so it runs down the side of the vial, then swirl or roll until everything dissolves. Shaking can shear peptide chains. Skip it.

How to store SNAP-8 10mg

Unopened, keep SNAP-8 10mg in a fridge at 2 to 8°C, or in a freezer at -20°C if it’ll be a while before you use it. Keep it out of direct light. Once mixed, keep it refrigerated and use it within about four weeks.

Before you order SNAP-8 10mg

Most labs order SNAP-8 10mg with a diluent so they can mix it the day it arrives. Our research diluent solution is sold right next to it. The vial opener and the vial case are small extras, but they make handling a stack of vials easier.
