How to Reconstitute Thymosin Alpha-1: A Step-by-Step Guide
Reconstituting Thymosin Alpha-1 is not identical to reconstituting any other compound in this library. Highly water-soluble.
Overview
Dissolves quickly in water — it is a loose, water-loving chain with nothing to resist dissolving.
What Thymosin Alpha-1 actually is
A 28-part peptide the thymus gland makes naturally, with one of the deepest research records of any immune peptide. Studied for how it helps T-cells mature and how the immune system responds to infection. The clinical version is called Zadaxin.
Supplied for laboratory research use only — not for human or animal use.
Third-party tested by HPLC and LC-MS, ≥99% purity, with a Certificate of Analysis on every order. Ships across Canada.

Diluent selection for Thymosin Alpha-1
Highly water-soluble. The sequence is strongly acidic and intrinsically disordered, with no hydrophobic core to resist dissolution, so it takes up water readily.
Common reconstitution reference
A 10 mg vial in 2 mL yields 5 mg/mL. Swirl to dissolve.
