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. Ipamorelin free base and ipamorelin acetate are distinct chemical forms. PubChem separately identifies ipamorelin acetate with CAS 1258196-85-8 and a molecular weight of approximately 771.9 g/mol. The specifications above refer to ipamorelin free base and should not be applied to the acetate form without confirmation of the actual material supplied.
Product identity, purity, analytical results, and other batch-specific specifications should be verified against the applicable Certificate of Analysis (COA) where available.
