Is KPV from Lumera Labs HPLC verified?

Yes. Every KPV lot Lumera Labs ships is HPLC-purity tested at synthesis and retested by Testides before release. The lot-specific Certificate of Analysis is published on the Lab Results page.

KPV is lyophilized at synthesis, sealed under nitrogen, and shipped across Canada via Canada Post Xpresspost in ~4 days. Free shipping over $300 CAD. ~4 days transit Canada-wide.

Where can I see the COA for KPV?

The lot-specific Certificate of Analysis is posted on our Lab Results page (/lab-results/) and attached to your order in your account (/account/).

What does HPLC-verified mean?

Every lot we sell is tested by an independent third-party lab (Testides) using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. The Certificate of Analysis reports HPLC-UV purity and peptide content by mass. We post the COA next to each product so you can verify before ordering.

How is it shipped within Canada?

Canada Post Xpresspost. Most provinces arrive in ~4 days from dispatch. Free shipping on Canadian orders over $300; otherwise a flat $25 shipping fee applies.

Is this for human or animal use?

All Lumera products are supplied strictly for laboratory research use only, in-vitro reference standards. By ordering you confirm you have read and accept our Research Use Declaration.

Overview

KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment of α-MSH. It retains potent anti-inflammatory activity attributed to MC1R signaling and to intracellular interactions with NF-κB pathways. It is investigated as a research tool for inflammation pathway dissection.

Each vial is lyophilized from acetate buffer, sealed under nitrogen, and shipped ~4 days from our lab.

Research applications

NF-κB pathway inhibition assays, in-vitro colitis and dermatitis models, and comparative anti-inflammatory pharmacology versus α-MSH.

Sold for laboratory research only. This material is not a drug, food, or cosmetic and is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or recreational use.

Reconstitution

Allow vial to reach room temperature before opening (≥ 20 minutes). Reconstitute with 1.0-2.5 mL of sterile bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol). Inject solvent slowly down the inner wall of the vial; do not direct stream onto the lyophilized cake.

Swirl gently for 30 seconds. Do not vortex. Allow to dissolve for 5 minutes; clarity should be complete with no visible particulates.

Storage after reconstitution

Reconstituted solution is stable for 28 days at 2-8 °C in original vial. For longer storage, aliquot into low-binding tubes and hold at −80 °C; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Discard if turbidity, color change, or particulate matter is observed.
