Where do US labs buy Selank?

41 of 112 directory vendors list Selank; 19 name their testing lab.

What should the certificate show?

  • Match the CAS number on the certificate to 129954-34-3.
  • A 7-residue peptide should show a mass-spec identity near 751.9 g/mol; HPLC purity alone doesn't confirm identity.
  • 41 of the 112 vendors in our directory list Selank; 19 of those name the lab that tests it.
