Research context
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a synthetic 28-residue peptide corresponding to thymosin α1, with the molecular formula C129H215N33O55 and a molecular weight of 3108.32 g/mol. It is studied in immunological research and is supplied as a characterized reference material, verified by reversed-phase HPLC and mass spectrometry.
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 Thymosin Alpha-1 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
