Packaging: Sold as a kit of 10 vials × 100mcg (1000mcg / 1mg total)
Product Overview
IGF-1 LR3 is a synthetic, modified analog of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, engineered with an arginine substitution at position 3 and a 13-amino-acid N-terminal extension. These modifications dramatically reduce its binding affinity to IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), resulting in a significantly extended half-life of approximately 20–30 hours — compared to just 10–20 minutes for native IGF-1.
Each kit contains 10 individual 100mcg vials, providing exceptional dosing precision, extended shelf life, and reduced contamination risk between research sessions.
Mechanism of Action
IGF-1 LR3 binds to the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R), activating downstream signaling cascades including the PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways. Its enhanced bioavailability and resistance to IGFBP sequestration make it approximately 2–3 times more potent than native IGF-1 in research models. Key effects observed in studies include:
- Stimulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation
- Promotion of protein synthesis and amino acid uptake
- Inhibition of apoptosis (programmed cell death)
- Enhanced glucose transport and metabolism
- Hyperplasia (increase in cell number) modeling
Research Applications
- Muscle cell proliferation and hypertrophy studies
- Investigations into IGF-1 receptor signaling pathways
- Cellular regeneration and recovery research
- Neuroprotection and neural growth studies
- Bone density and skeletal development models
- Cancer pathway research (proliferation markers)
- Diabetes and insulin sensitivity studies
Reconstitution & Storage
Reconstitution: Use bacteriostatic water or sterile saline. Typical dilution is 1 mL per 100mcg vial for precise microdosing in research protocols.
Storage (Lyophilized): Store at -20°C for long-term stability. Stable at room temperature for short transit periods.
Storage (Reconstituted): Refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 14–21 days. Do not freeze reconstituted solution.
Shelf Life: 24 months from manufacture date when stored properly.
Kit Contents
- 10 × 100mcg lyophilized IGF-1 LR3 vials (sealed, sterile)
- Tamper-evident flip-off caps
- Batch-specific lot number on each vial
- Certificate of Analysis (COA) available upon request
Why a 10-Vial Kit?
- Maximum shelf life — Unopened lyophilized vials stay stable far longer than a single reconstituted bulk vial
- Dosing accuracy — 100mcg increments allow precise research protocols
- Reduced degradation risk — Smaller working volumes mean fresher peptide at every stage
- Lower contamination exposure — Fresh vials reduce repeated puncture risks
Quality Assurance
Every batch is independently third-party tested for purity, identity, and sterility. HPLC and Mass Spectrometry reports are available with your order. Manufactured in an ISO-certified facility under strict GMP-aligned standards to ensure batch-to-batch consistency.
