Dermal peptide research standards
The dermal range covers the peptides used in skin, fibroblast and extracellular-matrix research: GHK-Cu, the copper-bound tripeptide found naturally in human plasma; matrixyl; SNAP-8; and multi-peptide blends formulated for skin-model work.
Copper peptides in particular require careful characterisation, since the chelated and free forms behave differently in assay conditions. Every lot is assayed independently and shipped with a certificate showing purity and identity for that specific batch.
Dermal Peptide Research catalogue

Glow Blend
Multi-peptide reference blend used in dermal and pigmentation research.

Matrixyl
Palmitoyl-pentapeptide-4 reference used in collagen-synthesis research.

SNAP-8
Acetyl-octapeptide-3 reference used in SNARE-complex research.
Dermal Peptide Research, answered
- Is GHK-Cu supplied as the copper complex or the free tripeptide?
- GHK-Cu is supplied as the copper(II)-bound complex, which is the form used in the dermal literature. The certificate for your lot states the assayed purity of the complex as supplied.
- Does every dermal peptide research reference come with a certificate?
- Yes. Each vial ships with a certificate of analysis issued for its own lot number, showing reverse-phase HPLC purity and LC-MS identity confirmation from an independent partner laboratory.
- How quickly are orders dispatched?
- Orders that clear payment before the daily cut-off are typically dispatched within 24 hours from the UK, with tracked delivery to the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area countries we serve.
- Can these compounds be used on humans or animals?
- No. Everything in this range is an unlicensed reference standard supplied for in-vitro laboratory research by qualified professionals only. Nothing we sell is a medicine, supplement or cosmetic.
