Buy Epitalon Starter Kit in Australia

Epitalon 10mg vial, BAC water 3 mL, 10 × 0.5 mL insulin syringes and 20 alcohol swabs · Available to order, dispatched from Australia
$99.99

Buy the Epitalon starter kit in Australia and get a 10mg vial of lyophilised Epitalon packed with a 3 mL vial of bacteriostatic water, ten 0.5 mL insulin syringes and twenty alcohol swabs. Epitalon is the synthetic tetrapeptide Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, modelled on a peptide extract of the pineal gland and studied in cell and animal research on telomerase and ageing biomarkers. The kit is a complete first order: taken separately, the vial, water, syringe pack and swab pack cost more than the kit. Labels carry a lot number, and the certificate of analysis for each lot is available on request. For bigger studies the 50mg vial is also listed. Order online for dispatch from our Australian shelves to any address in the country; sold to adults for in-vitro laboratory research only, not for human or veterinary use.

Buy Epitalon Starter Kit Australia: 10mg Tetrapeptide Kit

With only four amino acids, this is one of the shortest peptides we sell, and one of the easiest to dissolve. The starter kit is aimed at laboratories running a first telomerase or cell ageing assay who want the vial and handling supplies in one parcel.

Epithalon, Epitalon, AEDG: one peptide, three names

The sequence is alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, glycine, often abbreviated AEDG. It was synthesised as a defined analogue of epithalamin, a crude peptide extract of the pineal gland, so that a single known molecule could be studied in place of a mixture. Both spellings, with and without the h, refer to the same compound. It is mainly used in research on telomerase activity, gene expression and markers of ageing. The Epitalon vial listing includes the 50mg size.

Epitalon research: what has been measured

In 2003 the Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine reported telomerase activity and telomere length after cultured human somatic cells were exposed to the tetrapeptide. The same year, Biogerontology published a study of ageing biomarkers and life span in female mice. A 2020 paper in Molecules looked at gene expression during neurogenesis and proposed binding to histone proteins. Our Epitalon research studies library gives the designs.

Epitalon 10mg reconstitution maths

AEDG at 10mg becomes 10 mg per mL in one millilitre, 5 mg per mL in two and close to 3.33 mg per mL once the whole bottle is used. A tetrapeptide this polar usually dissolves within a minute of gentle swirling. The half-millilitre syringes have 50 divisions of 0.01 mL, which is the smallest volume step they show. Extra bacteriostatic water suits anyone preparing more than one stock.

Epitalon price: kit or separate items

OptionPrice
Epitalon starter kit$99.99

Add the AEDG vial, diluent, syringes and swabs as separate purchases and the sum passes the kit price. For studies that will need a lot more material, the 50mg vial is priced at about the same level as this kit and is the lower cost per milligram.

How to store the Epitalon kit

The sealed powder holds up well frozen at -20 °C. Dissolved AEDG keeps in a refrigerator between 2 and 8 °C. Diluent and syringes need only a cool, dry cupboard.

Epitalon Australia: legal and regulatory note

No AEDG product sits on the ARTG, and our vials go out as in-vitro research material. Scheduling is governed by the TGA's Poisons Standard; review the current version first.

Shop Epitalon and longevity kits online

All kits ship from inside Australia to Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and beyond. The longevity stack pairs it with NAD+ and SS-31, and the SS-31 starter kit is its closest single-kit neighbour; see all bundles in kits and stacks.
