Thymosin Alpha-1 10mg Overview
Thymosin Alpha-1 10mg from Peptide Science is the high-strength single-vial format of the synthetic 28-amino-acid acetylated thymic peptide, supplied as a lyophilised powder for extended in-vitro and preclinical immunology research. The 10 mg pack supports longer cell-culture series or repeat-passage protocols using the most-cited synthetic thymic peptide in immune-research literature.
Compound Class and Mechanism
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a 28-amino-acid acetylated peptide originally isolated from the thymus gland and now produced synthetically. The peptide has been characterised in preclinical immunology research for effects on T-cell maturation pathways via Toll-like-receptor 2 and 9 signalling, with reported downstream activity on dendritic cell function and cytokine balance. The compound is approved as the therapeutic Zadaxin in some non-US markets; research-grade material supplied by Peptide Science is for laboratory work only.

Reconstitution and Handling
The lyophilised vial reconstitutes with bacteriostatic water at the working concentration set by the principal investigator. Aliquoting reconstituted stock for single-use frozen storage is the standard preclinical handling practice cited in peptide-research literature.
Quality and Shipping
Each batch passes HPLC at greater than 99 percent purity, with mass-spectrometry identity confirmation against the theoretical molecular weight. A Certificate of Analysis accompanies every order. Material is filled in a US laboratory under ISO 9001:2015-aligned quality systems and dispatched in temperature-monitored insulated packaging via overnight or two-day courier.
