Semax in research
Semax is an ACTH(4-10)-derived heptapeptide analogue used in laboratory studies of peptide stability, receptor pathway exploration, and neurotrophic signaling markers in cell and animal-model literature.
Sequence and identity
The Pro-Gly-Pro extension differentiates Semax from the parent ACTH fragment. Each lot ships with MS identity and HPLC purity documentation for sequence-specific assay work.
Storage and handling
Store sealed lyophilized vials at -20 °C protected from light. Reconstitute into single-use aliquots and avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Documentation
CoA covers identity, purity, and net peptide content. Lot records are available for procurement and compliance review.

Semax research overview
Semax is a research-use-only material for qualified laboratory programs. This page summarizes identity fields, storage and handling, CoA review, and linked research resources for procurement and QA.
Catalog class: ACTH-derived peptide (research).
Key identity fields
- Common name
- Semax
- Sequence
- Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro
- Length
- 7 residues
- Molecular formula
- C37H51N9O10S
- Molecular weight

- Appearance
- White lyophilized powder
Storage and handling
Handle Semax 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 Semax 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 Semax 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 Semax?
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 Semax?
Search by compound or lot number in the CoA Library: https://getblugen.com/coa-library/
What sequence is listed for Semax?
The listed sequence is Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro. Confirm against the lot-specific CoA before release into inventory.
How should lyophilized Semax 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 Semax?
Yes. Academic labs and CROs can request quotes and NET-30 billing after vendor qualification via the contact/procurement desk.
