Buy TB-500 starter kit in Australia from Macropus Peptides: a TB-500 10mg research vial with the diluent and consumables to open it. Inside the box are the lyophilised vial, a 3 mL vial of bacteriostatic water, ten 0.5 mL insulin syringes and twenty alcohol swabs. TB-500 is a synthetic peptide modelled on thymosin beta 4, the protein that binds actin monomers and so controls how cells build their internal scaffolding and migrate. The supplied 3 mL of water gives 3.33 mg per mL, and 2 mL gives 5 mg per mL. Every vial label shows compound, strength, lot and storage temperature, and a certificate of analysis is issued per lot. The kit is priced below the four items bought individually, though by a smaller margin than our other kits because the vial itself carries most of the cost. Sent from Australian stock to all Australian states. For in-vitro laboratory research by adults 18 and over only.

Buy TB-500 Starter Kit Australia: 10mg Thymosin Vial with Diluent

Research on this peptide revolves around actin and cell movement. Each box holds a lot-numbered 10mg vial, 3 mL of bacteriostatic water in its own small bottle, ten insulin syringes sized at half a millilitre and twenty swabs, so a lab can turn the powder into a measured stock straight away. The vial is the one sold singly as TB-500 10mg, from the same lots.

What is in the TB-500 kit and what the peptide is

TB-500 is the synthetic research peptide modelled on thymosin beta 4, a protein of 43 residues present in nearly all nucleated cells. In the body that protein holds single actin units, the building blocks of the cell skeleton, in reserve until the cell needs to move or change shape. Our version comes from solid-phase synthesis and ships freeze-dried. The kit adds the diluent and syringes one 10mg vial needs.

How TB-500 works in research

Thymosin beta 4 binds monomeric G-actin through a short motif, LKKTET, and stops it joining filaments. By controlling the free actin pool, it influences how quickly cells can build the filaments that drive migration. Research has also linked it to integrin-linked kinase signalling, to endothelial cell migration and vessel sprouting, and to the reduction of inflammatory signalling in some models. Laboratories use the synthetic peptide to study actin dynamics, cell migration and tissue repair pathways in culture and animal models.

TB-500 thymosin research: what the studies show

PNAS printed the full sequence of the parent protein in 1981. A Journal of Biological Chemistry paper in 1991 proved it identical to Fx, an actin-sequestering factor studied separately, which set its role in the cytoskeleton. Nature published a 2004 study linking it to cardiac cell migration and survival through integrin-linked kinase. The record is largely preclinical, built on cell and animal models. Studies are gathered under thymosin research.

The peptide accounts for most of this kit's cost, so the saving is smaller than on most of our kits: well under a tenth against the thymosin vial plus separate diluent, syringes and swabs. What the kit chiefly buys is convenience, with one lot, one parcel and consumables matched to the vial. Groups planning paired work with BPC-157 can compare the recovery stack.

TB-500 10mg: the vial in stock

Its vial is the very one sold as TB-500 10mg on its own. Choosing this kit rather than the BPC-157 and TB-500 blend kit keeps the actin peptide in its own vial, so its concentration can be set independently and a single-compound control arm stays clean. The blend fixes the ratio of the two peptides at manufacture, which suits combined designs but not head-to-head comparisons. Keep it at minus 20 degrees until reconstitution. The 10mg vial is the one strength of the actin peptide we currently price, since the 2mg and 5mg fills are not listed.

TB-500 supplies: water, barrels and swabs

Actin studies usually sample one prepared stock many times. Preserved water guards that stock between withdrawals, half-millilitre barrels measure small aliquots accurately, and a fresh swab at each puncture keeps the stopper clean for ten sessions.

TB-500 reconstitution: bac water volumes for 10mg

The figure is ten milligrams over the water volume.

  • Whole bottle, 3 mL: 3.33 mg per mL
  • 2 mL: 5 mg per mL
  • 1.5 mL: 6.67 mg per mL

With 2 mL added, line 25 on a kit barrel holds a quarter millilitre, which contains 1.25 milligrams of peptide. Longer peptides can take a minute to clear, so let the vial stand after adding water and swirl gently. Groups wanting a more dilute stock can add bacteriostatic water 10mL. A full half-millilitre barrel at 5 mg per mL carries 2.5 milligrams, one quarter of the vial. Write the water volume on the label at mixing so the concentration travels with the vial.

Is TB-500 available in Australia

As a research peptide, yes. The synthetic thymosin peptide is absent from the ARTG, carries no TGA approval, and it is not a registered medicine for people or animals. Macropus Peptides sells it for in-vitro purposes to buyers aged 18 and over. Scheduling can differ by organisation, so check your Poisons Standard position before ordering.

TB-500 for sale Australia wide: related stacks

Dispatch runs from Australian shelves to Newcastle, Perth, Cairns and capital cities, with no international leg. The combined BPC-157 blend kit uses a single blended vial, the recovery stack supplies both compounds separately, and more options are in kits and stacks.
