Research context
AOD-9604 is a synthetic 16-residue fragment of the C-terminus of human growth hormone, residues 176–191, with the molecular formula C78H123N23O23S2 and a molecular weight of 1815.10 g/mol. It is studied in metabolic research and is supplied as a characterized reference material.
Supplied solely as a characterized research material. No representation is made as to any biological effect. For Research Use Only — not for human or veterinary use.
How AOD-9604 is identified
Identity and purity are measured, not asserted. Electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) determines the mass-to-charge ratio of the intact molecule — an observed value matching the expected series above confirms the molecular formula. Reversed-phase HPLC separates the sample over time, and purity is read as arithmetic: the target peak’s area as a share of total peak area.
