Product quality (KPV 10 mg)
Our product containing 10 mg of KPV peptide has been tested by a certified Polish laboratory. The results can be viewed in the product gallery.
What does the product packaging contain (KPV 10 mg)?
The ordered product will come packaged in a sturdy tube resistant to transport damage, and inside it you will find:
- Vial with powder (Mannitol + KPV 10 mg + 5 mg GHK-Cu).
- Vial of saline 10ml
- Atomizer (for spraying a portion of the solution onto a laboratory slide)
- Funnel (helps pour solvent into the peptide vial)
It is worth noting that the lyophilized powder will be white and blue in color due to the presence of the GHK-Cu peptide. The volume of powder in the vial may seem small, but this does not affect the peptide content measured in milligrams.

How to prepare the solution for the laboratory test?
- unscrew the stoppers from both vials
- Transfer the liquid from the liquid vial to the powder vial
- cap the vial with the powder with the original stopper
- Mix carefully (no sudden movements)
- unscrew the cap, remove the ring from the seal (important to keep it tight) and screw on the atomizer
We got 10 ml of solution, which is enough for about 70 puffs of 142 mcg KPV.
Storage and transportation
In dry form, the peptide should be stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Even longer transportation by courier will not affect the stability and quality of the product.
In wet form (after preparing the solution), the peptide should be in the refrigerator all the time and used up within 40 days.
Research application of the product (KPV 10 mg)
The product is intended for research use only under conditions in vitro, where it can serve as a specialized reagent for molecular, biochemical, and cellular analyses concerning the properties of short peptide sequences. In laboratory models, it is used for:
- studies on KPV interactions with selected proteins, enzymes, and cellular markers;
- assessments of the impact of KPV on the expression of selected genes, proteins, and regulatory factors in cell cultures;
- analyses of cellular response-related processes and signaling pathways and the regulation of inflammatory response mediators;
- conducting comparative research on the properties of KPV and other short peptide sequences in various experimental models;
- support for validation and comparative methods within molecular, biochemical, and cellular analyses;
- observation of droplets, sediments, and crystal structures using optical and polarizing microscopy;
- analyses of the size and distribution of droplets produced by the atomizer, including by depositing them on a microscope slide;
- evaluation of the size and distribution of aggregates present in the solution by dynamic light scattering (DLS);
- conducting spectrophotometric analyses using the UV-Vis method, within a range appropriate for the properties of the tested peptide and the analytical method used.
