Important Product Information

This product is supplied as a research material. Researchers and purchasers are responsible for ensuring that their intended use complies with applicable laws, regulations, institutional requirements, and laboratory procedures.

Chemical-form verification is important. Epitalon free compound, epitalon acetate, and epitalon TFA are distinct chemical forms with different molecular compositions and molecular weights. For example, PubChem lists epitalon acetate at approximately 450.40 g/mol and epitalon TFA at approximately 504.37 g/mol.

Therefore, the specifications above should only be used if your actual material corresponds to the Epitalon free compound. The batch-specific identity and form should be verified against your supplier documentation and Certificate of Analysis (COA).
