Research Peptides from the Context of Cell Aging and Mitochondrial Research
This cluster bundles laboratory-verified research peptides that are studied in preclinical science in the context of cell aging and telomerase activity. The two verified key compounds are GHK-Cu 50 mg (a copper peptide, studied in the research context of the extracellular matrix) and Epitalon 10 mg (a tetrapeptide, studied in the context of telomerase activity). Other research directions related to mitochondrial biology, such as MOTS-c or coenzymes like NAD+, are also pursued in science and neutrally categorized, without any statement about an effect being implied.
Every EONA batch is verified by two independent sources: a commercial batch COA with HPLC purity of at least 98% and MS-confirmed identity, as well as an independent academic cross-check. All items are shipped from EU storage, no third-country risk, no temperature damage from long-distance transport. The quantity discounts for 1/3/5/10 vials offer up to 30% savings for larger research projects.
All items in this cluster are intended exclusively for research purposes and are aimed at scientific institutions and qualified professionals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which longevity research peptides does EONA offer and how do GHK-Cu and Epitalon differ?
The two verified key compounds in this cluster are GHK-Cu and Epitalon. GHK-Cu is a copper peptide that is studied in preclinical research in the context of the extracellular matrix. Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide that is studied in preclinical research in the context of telomerase activity. Thus, both differ in substance class (copper tripeptide versus tetrapeptide) and in the respective research direction studied. In addition, other substances related to mitochondrial biology are being researched in science, such as the mitochondrially encoded peptide MOTS-c, and coenzymes like NAD+. Important for classification: NAD+ is not a peptide, but a coenzyme. Glutathione, in turn, is a tripeptide. All mentioned substances are exclusively intended for scientific research purposes, and no statement about an effect is associated with them.
What does HPLC purity greater than or equal to 98% mean and how do I recognize a valid batch COA?
HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) separates the components of a sample and quantifies the proportion of the target compound. A value of at least 98% means that a maximum of 2% of the sample consists of foreign substances or degradation products. A valid batch COA contains the exact batch number, the HPLC purity value with measurement date, an MS identity confirmation (measured versus theoretical mass), and information on the analysis method. EONA publishes the batch COA per SKU and supplements it with an independent academic cross-check. A detailed reading guide can be found under Reading Peptide COA.
Is it legal to order research peptides like GHK-Cu or Epitalon in Germany for research purposes?
In Germany, these substances are not subject to a general procurement ban if they are acquired for scientific research purposes and not placed on the market as medicinal products. They do not fall under the Narcotics Act. Compliance with relevant regulations (including AMG, ChemG, and workplace law) lies with the recipient. EONA exclusively supplies research institutions and qualified professionals for research purposes. If in doubt, we recommend seeking legal advice.
How do I correctly store lyophilized research peptides as material and how stable are they?
Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides are stable as a dry powder in a sealed vial at minus 20 degrees Celsius. EONA vials are supplied light-protected and sealed. Recommended storage conditions for the research material: cool, dry, dark, and permanently frozen. Frequent thawing and refreezing impairs the stability of the material. All temperature specifications apply exclusively to the storage of the material, not for use in humans.
What is the difference between a commercial batch COA and an independent academic cross-check?
A commercial batch COA is issued by the manufacturer or an accredited testing institute and documents the HPLC purity and MS identity of the respective batch. An independent academic cross-check means that the same batch is additionally analyzed by a separate, non-commercially affiliated scientific institution. Both measurements must match before EONA releases a batch. More about the process can be found under Our Verification Process.
How do I recognize a reputable peptide supplier with genuine EU shipping and verified batches?
Key distinguishing features are an accessible, batch-specific COA (not just a generic data sheet), a proven HPLC purity together with an MS identity confirmation, and a traceable origin with shipping and storage within the EU. EONA additionally combines the commercial batch COA with an independent academic cross-check and ships exclusively from EU storage, which avoids third-country risk and long transport routes. A detailed checklist can be found under Recognizing Reputable Peptide Suppliers.
What quantities are useful for a research project and how is the pricing structured?
EONA offers quantity discounts for 1, 3, 5, and 10 vials per substance. A quantity discount applies from 3 vials, and for 10 vials, the saving is up to 30% compared to the single price. 1 vial is sufficient for exploratory preliminary tests, while longer series of experiments with multiple time points or concentrations benefit from the 5 or 10-vial option. The exact prices are listed on the respective product pages.
