1. Product Overview
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide, a structurally optimized derivative of the natural immunomodulatory peptide Tuftsin. It is manufactured via solid-phase peptide synthesis and purified by high-performance liquid chromatography. Supplied as white to off-white loose lyophilized powder, it features excellent water solubility, stable chemical properties and consistent quality across batches.
This product is a research-grade peptide raw material for in vitro scientific research only. It is neither medicine nor dietary supplement, and contains no stimulants or prohibited ingredients. It shall not be used for in vivo application on humans or animals, nor for non-research scenarios, and is only supplied to qualified researchers and laboratories.
2. Key Features
- Stable Structure & Good Solubility: The heptapeptide has a stable structure and is storage-stable in lyophilized form. It dissolves rapidly in aqueous solvents to form clear solutions, compatible with various in vitro experimental systems.
- High Purity & Low Impurities: Multiple purification processes ensure single impurity ≤0.1% and total impurity ≤0.5%, reducing experimental interference and ensuring accurate, reproducible data。
- Clear Targeting: As a Tuftsin analog, it targets neurotransmitter pathways (GABA, serotonin, dopamine) and immunomodulatory pathways, serving as a core tool peptide for neuroimmunology research。
- Compliant & Safe: Free of stimulants and restricted substances, with no in vivo activity risks. Intended for in vitro research only, complying with cross-border trade and platform regulations.
3. Research Applications (In Vitro Use Only)
- Neurotransmitter Regulation Research: In vitro mechanism studies on GABAergic, serotonergic and dopaminergic signaling pathways, supporting research on neuromodulation and emotional regulation。

1. Pre-operation Preparation
This product is exclusively for in vitro scientific research and shall be handled only by professional researchers. Clean the working area in advance and keep it clean, dry and well ventilated to prevent cross-contamination. Prepare experimental containers, liquid handling tools, solvents and protective equipment. All utensils must be cleaned, sterilized and cooled before use.
Wear lab coat, gloves and goggles during operation to avoid direct contact of powder and solution with skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Check the package before use to ensure good sealing and normal material condition.
2. Powder Dissolution
Use purified water or buffer solution according to experimental protocols. Add solvent slowly into the container, then add the sample and stir or swirl gently until fully dissolved. For high-precision experiments, filter the solution with sterile membrane to remove fine impurities.
3. Dilution and Application
To prepare solutions of different concentrations, perform serial dilution with blank solvent and mix thoroughly after each step. Add appropriate amount of solution into reaction vessels, cell culture systems and other carriers. Conduct experiments strictly in accordance with preset parameters and record all data completely.
4. Post-operation Handling
Seal the original vial tightly immediately after use and store it as required. Clean, sterilize and store all used utensils following standard laboratory procedures.
Collect waste liquid, residues and used supplies separately. Dispose of them in compliance with local waste management regulations. Random dumping is prohibited.
5. Notes
- Aqueous solution has poor stability. Prepare and use it immediately to prevent component degradation.
- The product is highly hygroscopic and light-sensitive. Use it up promptly after opening and avoid repeated opening.
- Handle gently during operation and transportation to prevent package damage, leakage and moisture deterioration.
- This product is only for in vitro scientific research. Do not alter its intended use.

1. General Storage Requirements
This lyophilized peptide powder is highly hygroscopic and sensitive to temperature and light. Store it in a cool, dry, dark and well-ventilated separate area, away from heat sources, strong light and electrical devices. Keep it apart from corrosive and volatile chemicals to avoid cross-contamination and deterioration.
2. Storage for Unopened Products
Short-term storage: Keep fully sealed and refrigerate at 2℃~8℃.
Long-term storage: Seal tightly and store at -20℃ away from light.
Keep products away from ground moisture. Do not place heavy items on the packages to prevent damage. Follow the first-in, first-out rule. The shelf life of unopened products is 24 months under standard conditions.
3. Storage for Opened Products
Reseal the package immediately after use to block air and moisture. Store at 2℃~8℃ in dry and dark conditions. Avoid frequent opening and use the product as soon as possible.
4. Storage for Prepared Solution
The solution is much less stable than solid powder. Prepare and use it right away. For temporary storage, transfer to a clean sealed container and refrigerate at 2℃~8℃ for no more than 24 hours.
Do not store at room temperature for a long time or perform repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which will cause component degradation. Discontinue use and dispose of the solution properly if turbidity or precipitate appears.
5. Management of Divided Samples
Store divided samples in airtight containers with desiccant in dark places. Mark product name, subpackaging date and batch number on containers for management and traceability.
6. Daily Notes
Check storage facilities, packages and materials regularly. Isolate damaged, damp, caked or discolored materials in a timely manner. Use dehumidifiers in humid environments. Handle products gently during transportation to prevent seal damage caused by impact.

ECHEMI Editorial Reference
Selank is a synthetic derivative of the tetrapeptide tuftsin that contains a proline-glycine-proline sequence at the C-terminus and has anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory activities. It increases the amplitude and discharge rate of inhibitory postsynaptic currents of neurons in the rat hippocampal CA1 region when used at a concentration of 1 μM. It decreases the level of affective responses and the number of erroneous escape attempts in rats in an acute stress situation, increases orientational-investigative responses of rats in an unfamiliar situation, and reduces the time mice spend immobile in the forced swim test. It increases locomotor activity of high-anxiety Balb/c, but not C57Bl/6, mice in the open field test. Selank (0.01 mg/kg) decreases verticalization induced by apomorphine in mice. It also decreases expression of the inflammation-related genesIl2rgandXcr1in mouse spleen after 90 minutes when administered at a dose of 100 μg/kg.
SELANK Synthetic is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 7 amino acids, having a molecular mass of 751.89 Dalton and a Molecular formula of C33H57N11O9.
