Description
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide analogue of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) fragment 4-10, originally developed in Russia for neurological research applications. It is studied in laboratory settings for its role in neurotrophic factor regulation, neuropeptide signaling, and cognitive function pathway modeling.

COA
Third-party Certificate of Analysis available upon request. All batches are independently tested via HPLC and mass spectrometry to verify ≥99% purity prior to release.
Contact support@synpeptidesciences.com to request batch-specific COA documentation.
Storage
All SYN Sciences peptides are manufactured using the lyophilization (freeze-drying) process, ensuring stability during shipping for up to 3–4 months at room temperature.
Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store refrigerated at 2–8°C (36–46°F) and use within 30 days.
For long-term storage (months to years), store lyophilized peptide in a freezer at -20°C to -80°C, away from light and moisture.
Keep all peptides away from direct sunlight and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Manufacturing Process
All SYN Sciences peptides are synthesized using Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) — the industry gold standard for research-grade peptide production.
Process overview:
– Amino acid chains assembled on solid resin support under controlled conditions
– Cleavage and deprotection performed using pharmaceutical-grade reagents
– Purified via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to ≥99% purity
– Identity confirmed by mass spectrometry (MS)
– Screened for heavy metals and endotoxins
– Lyophilized (freeze-dried) and nitrogen-sealed in sterile vials for maximum stability
Every batch undergoes independent third-party quality verification before release.
