Frequently Asked Questions
Product Specifications
What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu (CAS 89030-95-5) is a synthetic copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (Gly-His-Lys), with a molecular formula of C₁₄H₂₂N₆O₄Cu and a molecular weight of 401.91 Da. The copper ion is chelated by the peptide, forming a stable blue-coloured complex. This product is supplied strictly as an analytical reference standard for laboratory research.
What is the CAS number for GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu has CAS number 89030-95-5. This is confirmed in the Batch Verification Report along with molecular formula (C₁₄H₂₂N₆O₄Cu) and molecular weight (401.91 Da).
Why is GHK-Cu blue?
The characteristic blue colour of GHK-Cu is due to the copper(II) ion complexed with the peptide. The copper content is verified at 14.3% (specification 8.0-16.0%), confirming proper copper-peptide complexation.
What analytical data is provided?
Each batch includes a comprehensive Batch Verification Report (BVR) containing all manufacturer analytical data: HPLC purity (99.95%), copper content (14.3%), peptide content (86.6%), ESI-MS molecular weight confirmation (401.91 Da), Karl Fischer water content (5.6%), pH, acetic acid content, solubility, full heavy metals panel (Pb, As, Hg, Cd), and complete microbial limits testing. Access via QR code or online verification portal.
How do I verify my batch?
