Every report

Every figure below is transcribed from the laboratory's own document, and every card shows how to pull up the original with that laboratory. Two kinds of report appear here: a lot verification, which tests the very lot printed on the vial, and a reference report, an outside test of the batch the manufacturer made.

Overview

Thymosin Alpha-1.

This chain has 28 residues, a strongly acidic character and an acetyl group on its N terminus. The acetyl cap is part of what defines the molecule, so the analytical record looks for it specifically.

Allan Goldstein's laboratory isolated it in 1977 from thymosin fraction 5, a calf thymus preparation later shown to hold dozens of separate peptides; thymosin alpha-1 was the first of them to be sequenced in full. Ours is made synthetically and supplied as 10 mg of freeze-dried powder.

PuraCore offers no advice on how any material is used, prepared or applied. Deciding whether it fits your research rests with you or your institution.
