Thymalin vs Thymosin Alpha-1: Comparing Two Thymic Peptides in Research
Written by: Dr. James Nguyen, MD (Neurosurgeon) Thymalin and thymosin alpha-1 are often mentioned in the same breath because both trace back to the thymus and both are discussed as immune-regulating peptides. In the lab, though, they are very different research materials. One is a single, fully sequenced 28-residue peptide with decades of mechanistic work…

Research Use Only Labeling: Best Practices for Lab Inventories
Written by: Dr. Tom Do, PharmD Documentation and RUO framing keep research peptides in the correct category. Research Use Only Labeling summarizes lab-facing practices for inventory and compliance posture. Keep Research Materials Clearly Identified Research Use Only Labeling prevents category errors: research reagents are not clinical inventory. Labels and SOPs should state research use only…

Silanized Glassware: Reducing Peptide Binding in Glass Vials
Written by: Dr. Tom Do, PharmD Silanized Glassware is a practical lab topic that often decides whether peptide experiments reproduce. This explainer covers research-bench ideas only—not human-use guidance. Why This Matters at the Bench Small handling differences compound quickly with peptides: adsorption, oxidation, moisture uptake, and concentration errors can look like biological effects. Standardizing silanized…
