Ipamorelin in research
Ipamorelin is a synthetic pentapeptide growth hormone secretagogue with reported selectivity for the GHS-R1a (ghrelin) receptor over melanocortin and other off-target receptors in published in vitro work. Labs use the peptide as a selectivity reference standard in receptor-binding and cAMP signaling assays alongside other secretagogues such as GHRP-2 and hexarelin.
Identity and selectivity reference use
Each lot ships with ≥99% HPLC purity and MS identity verification of the unnatural residues (Aib, D-2-Nal, D-Phe). Net peptide content is reported on the CoA. Comparative selectivity work commonly pairs ipamorelin with GHRP-2 on the same plate; that batch documentation can be filed by SKU.
Storage and handling
Hold lyophilized vials at -20 °C sealed and protected from light. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water; aliquot reconstituted stock into single-use volumes before freezing to limit freeze/thaw.
Documentation
CoA covers identity (MS), purity (HPLC), and net peptide content. Batch records by lot are available for compliance review.

Storage and handling
Handle Ipamorelin as a lyophilized research reagent: cold, dry, light-protected storage; choose reconstitution buffer per your SOP; plan aliquots to limit freeze–thaw; and keep the lot CoA with the inventory record.
Research framing
Use Ipamorelin in published model-system terms only — receptor family, pathway context, assay controls, and concentration planning. Do not transfer assumptions from adjacent peptides without a documented comparison protocol. Research use only.

Product FAQ
Is Ipamorelin intended for human or clinical use?
No. BluGen listings are research use only (RUO) for qualified laboratory programs — not clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, veterinary, food, drug, or cosmetic use.
What documentation ships with Ipamorelin?
Each lot includes a certificate of analysis with HPLC purity, MS identity confirmation, and net peptide content. Verify lots in the CoA Library.
Where can I verify the current-lot CoA for Ipamorelin?
Search by compound or lot number in the CoA Library: https://getblugen.com/coa-library/
What sequence is listed for Ipamorelin?
The listed sequence is Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2. Confirm against the lot-specific CoA before release into inventory.
How should lyophilized Ipamorelin be stored?
Store sealed vials cold, dry, and protected from light per the lot CoA and your institutional SOP. Aliquot reconstituted stock to limit freeze-thaw cycles.
Can institutions request a quote for Ipamorelin?
Yes. Academic labs and CROs can request quotes and NET-30 billing after vendor qualification via the contact/procurement desk.
