As a short tripeptide, KPV is straightforward to characterize: each lot is run through HPLC to establish purity and cross-checked for identity against the expected three-residue sequence. Both results are recorded on a certificate tied to the batch number on the vial. This document is not bundled with the order but can be obtained through the support team afterward.
Store the vial refrigerated at 2 to 8 °C, out of direct light, until the laboratory is ready to work with it. Add a suitable sterile solvent to reconstitute, then use the solution within the same working session rather than saving it for later. No volume or concentration recommendation is offered here for any particular assay.
KPV is distributed for research use only (RUO), not for administration to humans or animals, and is not a pharmaceutical, food, or cosmetic product. The ordering laboratory carries full responsibility for compliant use, from receipt of the vial through to disposal after an experiment concludes. Derived from the C-terminal fragment of alpha-MSH, this tripeptide is studied in the literature within inflammatory signaling and immune cell culture models, mentioned here strictly as neutral research context rather than as a claim of effect.
Request the batch certificate of analysis by emailing Eurolabs Peptides support with the lot number shown on the vial label. The certificate details the HPLC purity result and identity confirmation established for that production run.
Every batch is analyzed by an independent laboratory via HPLC before shipment. We document purity (avg. 99.41% in 2026), mass spectrometry identity, and sterility. Production follows GMP standards in ISO-certified laboratories.
KPV corresponds to the C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-MSH, consisting of the residues lysine, proline, and valine, and is supplied as a standalone reference peptide.
The reagent is manufactured to ≥99 % purity as determined by HPLC, with each lot tested individually and the result recorded on its own certificate of analysis.
Keep the lyophilized vial refrigerated between 2 and 8 °C, protected from light, and use any reconstituted solution promptly rather than storing it long term.
Yes, a lot-specific CoA covering HPLC purity and identity confirmation can be requested from support by referencing the batch number printed on the vial.
