Semax (Research Grade)

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from ACTH(4-10) with a Pro-Gly-Pro tail that blocks rapid enzymatic degradation. It is studied for BDNF expression and dopaminergic modulation, most often in intranasal preparations.

Semax specifications

Reference data researchers look up before ordering semax. Every lot ships with documentation matching the batch number printed on the vial.

  • Class: ACTH(4-10) analog heptapeptide
  • Pathway of interest: BDNF and dopaminergic signaling
  • Common route: intranasal
  • Storage: -20°C lyophilized

Semax purity testing and certificate of analysis

Each semax lot is released only after an independent purity panel. HPLC quantifies purity, LC-MS confirms molecular identity, and the lot-matched certificate is published so the number on your vial matches the report you download.

  • ≥99% HPLC purity specification
  • LC-MS mass confirmation on every batch
  • Endotoxin and sterility panel documentation
  • Lot-matched semax COA published on the certifications page

Semax reconstitution and BAC water ratios

Semax ships lyophilized. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The ratios below assume a standard U-100 insulin syringe.

  • 30mg vial + 3mL BAC water = 10mg per mL
  • Transfer to a metered nasal pump for intranasal protocols
  • Typical pump delivers 0.1mL per actuation
  • Refrigerate reconstituted solution

Where to buy semax

PX1 Research synthesizes and fills semax in a US cGMP-compliant facility rather than reselling imported material, so purity documentation traces back to the production lot. Multi-vial pricing steps down at 3, 5 and 10 vials, and subscription intervals are available on the product page.

Frequently asked questions

Semax vs selank — what is the difference?

Semax derives from ACTH and is studied for BDNF and focus endpoints; selank derives from tuftsin and is studied for anxiolytic and GABAergic endpoints.

Why is semax used intranasally?

Intranasal delivery uses olfactory transport toward the CNS and avoids the near-instant proteolysis semax undergoes in circulation.

Is a certificate of analysis provided with semax?

Yes. Every semax lot has a published, lot-matched COA showing HPLC purity and LC-MS identity confirmation.

How should semax be stored?

Store the lyophilized vial at -20°C protected from light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated at 2–8°C.
