Product Description

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is a synthetic 28-amino-acid peptide widely utilized in cell-signaling, receptor-binding, and biochemical pathway studies. VIP is endogenously present in neural and gastrointestinal tissues and belongs to the secretin/glucagon peptide family.

This material is provided exclusively as a research reagent for controlled laboratory experimentation conducted by qualified researchers.

Intended Use

• For Research Use Only (RUO).

• Not for human consumption.

• Not for use in diagnostic, therapeutic, clinical, or veterinary applications.

• Not a drug, cosmetic, food additive, or dietary supplement.

• End user is responsible for determining appropriate experimental conditions and ensuring regulatory compliance.

This product must not be used in any manner inconsistent with FDA regulations governing research chemicals or in a way that suggests therapeutic or clinical intent.

Quantity & Appearance

• Net Contents: 10 mg

• Appearance: White to off-white lyophilized powder

• Purity: ≥98% by HPLC (batch-specific COA will reflect exact value)

Storage & Stability

• Store at –20°C or below, protected from light and moisture.

• For long-term stability, maintain in a desiccated environment.

• Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.

• If reconstitution is performed, aliquot immediately using sterile technique.

Reconstitution solvent (sterile water, buffer, or other research-grade medium) should be selected based on experimental requirements. Stability of reconstituted material depends on pH, temperature, and diluent composition.

Handling & Laboratory Safety

• Use standard laboratory PPE: gloves, protective eyewear, and lab coat.

• Avoid skin contact, inhalation, ingestion, or aerosol formation.

• Handle in accordance with institutional biosafety policies.

• Dispose of waste according to local and federal regulations.

Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to handling.
