What Selank is
Selank is short, seven residues, and easy to describe: tuftsin (TKPR) plus a Pro-Gly-Pro tail. That makes it easy to check, too. A correct lot has a molecular weight of 751.87 g/mol, and the certificate for lot KB55627 confirms identity by LC-MS at 99.77% HPLC purity, with 13.34 mg measured in a 10 mg vial.
Selank Research Supply lists Selank in 10 mg vials at $29.99. Ordering, payment and shipping are handled by Klow Labs on Klow.bio. What this site adds is the paperwork: the full certificate, the lab's accession number and search code, and a lookup that matches your vial's lot number to its results.
Structure
Selank is linear, with a free N-terminal amine and a free C-terminal carboxylic acid. It has no cysteine, methionine or tryptophan, so it carries none of the residues most prone to oxidation. Lysine 2 and arginine 4 are the only charged side chains.

Storage and handling
Store sealed, dry and protected from light at the temperature stated on the vial label. Allow a cold vial to reach room temperature before opening. Lyophilized material absorbs moisture from the air, and absorbed moisture restarts the reactions that drying slows, so keep vials sealed until needed. Storage and stability guide.
