Description
Five milligrams is the sensible starting point when an assay is still being built. It lets a lab confirm solubility, retention time and handling in its own hands before committing to the 10 mg format or to a case of vials.
BPC-157 5 mg for pilots and method work
The compound is the fifteen-amino-acid sequence Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val, synthesised by solid-phase methods and freeze-dried. With two aspartates and a glutamate it carries a net negative charge at neutral pH, a detail that matters when choosing buffers and HPLC mobile phases.
Researchers usually meet BPC-157 in cell-migration, explant and angiogenesis assays, where it is used alongside controls to probe signalling pathways rather than as an end in itself. A small vial keeps the cost of those first plates low; the price ladder still applies from two vials if the pilot needs replicates.

Questions about BPC-157 5mg
Why start with 5 mg instead of 10 mg?
A pilot rarely needs more, and a smaller vial means less material sitting open while a method is still changing. Once conditions are fixed, the 10 mg format is cheaper per milligram.
Does the 5 mg vial ship with a certificate inside?
No. Certificates are posted on our COAs page rather than packed in the box. If the one you need is not up yet, the order desk will tell you when it will be.
What does the lyophilised cake look like?
A white to off-white solid, sometimes loose, sometimes a single disc at the base of the vial. Both are normal after freeze-drying.
