Product Overview
AHK-Cu Raw is a highly purified synthetic tripeptide-copper complex comprised of the amino acid sequence L-alanyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to a copper (II) ion. Operating as a specialized biochemical reference standard, this specific sequence isolates the cellular alignment required for exploring vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) cascades, follicular cell biology, and localized extracellular matrix dynamics during in vitro testing.
Within preclinical biomolecular frameworks and cell culture models, AHK-Cu is widely utilized to observe its interactions with dermal papilla cells and microvascular networks. Its ultra-pure raw crystalline format ensures completely stable chemical kinetics across diverse analytical testing applications.

Laboratory Handling & Storage Guidelines
- Reconstitution: Reconstitute using sterile bacteriostatic water or standard analytical saline solutions. Gently swirl the vial in a smooth circular motion; avoid high-shear mechanical vortexing to protect the baseline structural layout of the tripeptide-copper bond.
- Long-Term Storage: Store the raw lyophilized powder desiccated at -20°C to -80°C. Protect meticulously from moisture contamination, ambient atmospheric humidity, and direct solar exposure.
- Short-Term Stability: Post-reconstitution, the matrix solution must be stored under stable refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C and utilized within 14 days to preserve maximum biochemical integrity.
