Description
ARA 290 ships as a sealed vial holding 16mg of lyophilized powder. Every batch has its own certificate of analysis, and you can pull it up by scanning the QR code on the side of the label. It’s sold for laboratory research only.
What is ARA 290?
ARA 290, also called cibinetide, is an 11-amino-acid peptide modeled on one small part of erythropoietin (EPO), the hormone that tells the body to make red blood cells. It copies the helix B region of EPO, which is the part that binds a tissue-protective receptor, without the part that drives red cell production.
That receptor is a pairing of the EPO receptor with CD131, the beta common receptor. Researchers call it the innate repair receptor. ARA 290 was designed to switch it on while leaving blood counts alone.

Research background
Araim Pharmaceuticals in New York developed it and ran small clinical trials, mostly in small-fiber neuropathy linked to sarcoidosis and in type 2 diabetes. The results were promising enough to publish but haven’t led to an approval.
The rest of the literature is animal work on nerve, kidney and metabolic models. It’s still very much a research peptide.

Batch testing and the COA
The QR code isn’t decoration. It links to the certificate of analysis for the exact batch in your hand, so you aren’t relying on a generic sheet. Check the lot number, the date and the purity result for the compound before you open it.
Keep a copy of the COA with your lab notes. It makes it much easier to compare results between batches later on.
Working out the concentration
How much liquid you add decides the concentration. For this vial holding 16mg:
- 1ml of bacteriostatic water gives 16mg/ml
- 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 8mg/ml
- 3ml of bacteriostatic water gives about 5.33mg/ml
Less liquid gives a stronger solution, more liquid gives a weaker one. Write down what you used, right on the vial, so nobody has to guess later.
Storage and reconstitution
Store the vial cold and dark. A fridge is fine for weeks, and a freezer is better for months. Give it a few minutes at room temperature before opening.
Most labs reconstitute it with bacteriostatic water. Let the water run down the side of the vial instead of straight onto the powder, then swirl until it’s clear. Keep the solution in the fridge afterward. A peptide case helps if vials travel between benches.
