GHK-Cu Lyophilized
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring peptide that was first purified from blood plasma, though its traces have also been identified in both saliva and urine. Experimental research in GHK-Cu indicates the peptide may host the potential to impact tissue repair and affect certain immunological functions. The peptide has been studied for its potential in mitigating cell aging, inducing protein synthesis, minimizing free-radical damage, preventing bacterial infection, and improving the function of skin fibroblasts.
Researchers value GHK-Cu for its copper-complexed structure that supports collagen synthesis, antioxidant activity, and wound-healing pathways in controlled laboratory settings. Its tripeptide sequence (Gly-His-Lys) makes it an ideal tool for investigating extracellular matrix remodeling and cellular rejuvenation.
Ceritide Research offers GHK-Cu as a premium 50mg and 100mg lyophilized research peptide with verified ≥99% purity confirmed by independent HPLC and mass spectrometry. Supplied in a sterile vial and ready for immediate reconstitution per your protocol, this product delivers the reliability top research labs demand.

Peptide Storage Guidelines: Best Practices for Research Stability
At Ceritide Research, we provide high-purity peptides for laboratory and scientific research. Proper storage preserves peptide integrity and supports reliable experimental results.
Storage Guidelines for Lyophilized (Powder) Peptides
- Long-Term Storage: Keep at -20°C (-4°F) or lower (ideally -80°C / -112°F) for multi-year stability.
- Short-Term Storage: Refrigerate at 2–8°C (36–46°F) for weeks to a few months. Minimize room temperature exposure.
- Best Practices: Store in airtight vials with desiccants. Allow vials to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening. Protect from light and moisture. Aliquot to reduce freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage Guidelines for Reconstituted Peptide Solutions
Once dissolved, peptides are less stable and should be used promptly:
- Recommended Temperature: Store at 2–8°C (36–46°F) (refrigerator) for short-term use, typically up to 1–4 weeks depending on the sequence and buffer.
- Longer-Term Solution Storage: Aliquot and freeze at -20°C (-4°F) or lower. Avoid storing solutions long-term when possible.
- Best Practices: Use sterile techniques, bacteriostatic water or research-grade buffers, and minimize exposure to air and light. Prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
