Research Peptides
GHK-Cu 50/100mg
50 / 100 mg · Lyophilized
GHK-Cu is a copper-associated tripeptide sequence widely referenced as a laboratory standard in peptide and matrix research. This 50 mg lyophilized format is packaged for traceable handling with batch documentation available through our verification portal. For in vitro research use only — not for personal, cosmetic, or consumptive application.

GHK-Cu Raw Powder
1 g / 20 g · Raw powder
GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1; CAS 89030-95-5; C₁₄H₂₂CuN₆O₄; MW 403.92 g/mol) in a 20 g sealed raw-powder research format for high-throughput and multi-assay laboratory programmes that prefer bulk copper-tripeptide stock over repeated vial replenishment. Chemically the same Gly-His-Lys copper(II) complex as our lyophilized vial line, cataloged as an independent presentation family with its own lot documentation — never interchangeable with 50/100 mg vial certificates. Correctly complexed material is visibly blue-green; colour loss on receipt is a reason to pause and check the published COA before the lot enters an experiment. Strictly for qualified in vitro analytical research — not for human, personal, cosmetic, medical, or consumptive application.

What this guide covers
Sealed lyophilized peptides are usually stored cold, dry, and dark until a qualified laboratory reconstitutes them under its own SOP. In the UAE the risk is heat and humidity during receiving, not a lack of freezers — summer ambient often exceeds 40 °C, and coastal indoor humidity can be high.
Follow the vial label and the lot Certificate of Analysis when they disagree with a general guide. VaultLabs does not publish reconstitution recipes or human-use preparation steps.
On receipt
Move the parcel out of ambient Gulf heat as soon as it is signed for. Log the lot number, SKU, storage location, and time of receipt before the vial goes into inventory.
Match the printed lot on the vial to the published record in batch verification. If they do not match, quarantine the unit and contact support — do not put it into a validated workflow.
Sealed lyophilized storage
Most VaultLabs peptide SKUs specify 2–8 °C for sealed lyophilized vials, protected from light and moisture. Some institutions archive at −20 °C when their SOP allows it; that is a local decision, not a VaultLabs protocol. If the lot COA says frozen, follow the COA.
Keep vials in the original packaging with desiccant until opened. Do not leave boxes on a receiving bench through a Sharjah or Dubai afternoon.
Let a cold vial reach room temperature before opening so condensation does not wet the cake. Log any temperature excursion your monitors record.
After reconstitution
Once water is added, stability is shorter and method-specific. Your laboratory defines hold times, diluent choice, and whether BAC water or sterile water is in scope.
Aliquot if your SOP forbids freeze–thaw cycling. VaultLabs does not set those windows.
Mistakes we see in UAE receiving
Leaving the parcel at the security desk until the next morning.
Filing a COA for a different lot than the vial in the fridge.
Using a leftover diluent beyond the hold time written in the lab’s own SOP.
