What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is offered as a research reference material for qualified analytical and in vitro laboratory workflows. GHK-Cu is produced under controlled conditions to maintain consistency and quality for analytical applications. For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.

How it Works

In research settings, GHK-Cu is used to probe defined biological pathways under controlled laboratory conditions. Mechanistic studies typically combine receptor or cell-based assays with analytical verification of peptide identity and integrity.

Purity & Testing

99.3% minimum purity (per specification / COA for the active batch). Each lot is tied to batch documentation so researchers can align material received with COA and specification records before use in regulated workflows. Request a COA from this page if you need documentation prior to purchase.

Storage & Handling

Store lyophilized material per label and COA. Solvent selection and working-solution preparation must follow institutional laboratory SOPs.
