Preset to a 10 mg Selank vial in 2 mL of diluent. A 10 mg vial in 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL. Use low-bind labware for onward dilutions.

A 10 mg Selank vial reconstituted with 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL. Measuring 0.060 mL gives 300 mcg per portion — about 33 portions from the vial.

Choosing a diluent for Selank

Freely water-soluble. Two basic residues (Lys, Arg) give the molecule a strong net positive charge at neutral pH, which drives high aqueous solubility but also makes it the most adsorption-prone short peptide in this catalogue at dilute concentrations.

PrimarySterile or bacteriostatic water
Alternative 1Saline
Alternative 2Phosphate-buffered saline

Handling notes for Selank

  • Use low-bind tubes and pipette tips for dilute working solutions; the strong positive charge promotes surface adsorption.
  • Avoid unnecessary transfers between containers — each one is an opportunity for adsorptive loss.
  • Standard refrigerated storage is sufficient; elaborate light protection is not required for this sequence.

After reconstitution

StorageRefrigerate at 2–8 °C. Selank contains no methionine, cysteine, or tryptophan, so it is notably less oxidation-sensitive than Semax.
Working windowCommonly worked with for 3–4 weeks at 2–8 °C — a longer window than most peptides of comparable size, precisely because it lacks oxidisable residues.
Freeze–thawTolerant, but aliquoting is still the correct default for a multi-week study.
