AV-FOCUS: 30 mg Synthetic Research Peptide

AV-FOCUS is an Aevigenix branded synthetic peptide research formulation supplied as 30 mg of lyophilized (freeze-dried) material in a spray-format laboratory kit.

The peptide is supplied dry rather than premixed, accompanied by a separate 10.5 mL vial of sterile water and spray bottle. AV-FOCUS is designated exclusively for nonclinical laboratory investigation involving peptide identification, analytical characterization, and physicochemical research.

Molecular Structure and Peptide Sequence

AV-FOCUS is listed as a synthetic heptapeptide consisting of seven amino acid residues. Its sequence is Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro, abbreviated MEHFPGP.

The sequence contains methionine, glutamic acid, histidine, phenylalanine, proline, and glycine residues. The order and arrangement of these amino acids determine the peptide’s primary molecular structure.

Lyophilized Peptide Research Material

AV-FOCUS is supplied in lyophilized form. Lyophilization is a controlled freeze-drying process used to remove water from materials and produce a dry research preparation.

The peptide is packaged separately from the supplied sterile water. This distinction is relevant when documenting the original condition of the research material and its packaging.

Laboratory preparation, sample handling, and analytical evaluation should follow verified supplier documentation and applicable institutional laboratory procedures. The inclusion of sterile water does not establish that any subsequently prepared material is sterile or suitable for human or veterinary administration.

Research Kit Packaging

The supplier describes the peptide container as sterile and tamper-evident. Packaging specifications and sterility claims should be substantiated by the applicable manufacturing and quality documentation.

Quality, Purity and Analytical Testing

Supplier-provided information reports peptide purity of at least 99.3%, with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry identified as the analytical methods.

HPLC is used in peptide research to assess chromatographic purity and evaluate related impurities. Mass spectrometry provides information supporting molecular identity characterization.

Curtis identifies the material as independently third-party tested. The reported findings should be confirmed against the corresponding Certificate of Analysis and the specific material and lot evaluated.

Laboratory Stability and Storage

The supplier recommends refrigerated or frozen storage for the lyophilized peptide under appropriate laboratory handling conditions.

Peptide stability can be influenced by temperature, moisture, container integrity, and molecular composition. The methionine residue within the listed AV-FOCUS sequence is also relevant to analytical investigations involving oxidation-sensitive amino acid residues.

Storage conditions for the dry peptide, separate sterile water, and any subsequently prepared laboratory solution may differ. Product-specific stability documentation should be consulted before assigning storage requirements or shelf-life expectations.
