VIP 10mg

Description

VIP 10mg is a 10mg vial of VIP, a neuropeptide, supplied by EZ Peptides as freeze-dried powder. It’s intended for lab research only.

About VIP

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide found in the gut, brain and immune system. It relaxes smooth muscle, widens blood vessels and has anti-inflammatory effects.

It belongs to the glucagon/secretin family.

How VIP works

VIP works through two receptors, VPAC1 and VPAC2, which raise cyclic AMP inside cells. In smooth muscle that means relaxation, so blood vessels widen and the gut and airways loosen.

On immune cells, VIP turns down inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha and IL-6 and pushes T cells toward a regulatory profile. That’s the basis for its study in arthritis, lung and gut inflammation.

Published VIP studies

VIP was first isolated by Said and Mutt in 1970. Delgado and colleagues later reported it reduced inflammation in mouse arthritis models.

An inhaled form, aviptadil, has been tested in lung disease.

VIP 10mg lab testing and purity

The VIP 10mg photo gallery includes one independent test report from Janoshik Analytical, a lab in Prague that a lot of peptide buyers use to check suppliers. Each one lists the compound found, the measured amount and the HPLC purity, plus the batch number and the date the lab ran it.

VIP 10mg is sold at a minimum of 98% purity by HPLC. The reports below show the actual figure for each batch tested.

Every Janoshik report has a unique key printed at the bottom. Enter it at janoshik.com/verify and you’ll see the same report straight from the lab, which is the easiest way to know a COA hasn’t been edited. Match the batch on the report with the batch on your label.

How to reconstitute VIP 10mg

Concentration is just the amount in the vial divided by the liquid you add. With 10mg in this vial:

• 1mL of diluent gives 10mg/mL
• 2mL of diluent gives 5mg/mL
• 3mL of diluent gives 3.33mg/mL

Go with whichever number is easiest to work with in your protocol, and label the vial with the concentration and the date you mixed it.

Use a sterile diluent such as our research diluent solution. Warm the sealed vial to room temperature first so no condensation gets in, add the liquid slowly along the glass wall, and swirl gently until it’s clear. Never shake.

VIP 10mg storage and shelf life

Store sealed vials in the fridge (2 to 8°C) or freezer (-20°C), away from light. Mixed solution goes back in the fridge and should be used within about 28 days.
