Research context
Tesamorelin is a 44-residue synthetic analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone, with the molecular formula C221H366N72O67S and a molecular weight of 5135.86 g/mol. It is supplied as a characterized research material and referenced in secretagogue research, with identity confirmed by mass spectrometry and purity measured by reversed-phase HPLC.
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 Tesamorelin 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.
Handling & stability
