Quality & Documentation
Synthesis Overview
GHK is produced using solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), enabling controlled assembly of the tripeptide sequence with high fidelity.
Complexation
Following synthesis, the peptide is complexed with copper(II) ions under controlled conditions to form GHK-Cu.
Purification
The material is purified via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to remove impurities and ensure high purity.
Lyophilisation
The purified peptide is lyophilised (freeze-dried) to yield a stable solid form. This process enhances shelf stability and supports long-term storage under controlled conditions.
Analytical Characterisation
Each batch is analysed using:
HPLC for purity assessment
Mass spectrometry (MS) for molecular weight confirmation
Quality Assurance
Batches are produced under controlled laboratory conditions and evaluated against predefined quality criteria to ensure consistency, identity, and purity.
Batch Consistency
Standardised processes and analytical verification ensure reproducibility across production batches.
