Description
This is Thymosin Alpha 1, supplied by LA Peptides as 10mg of freeze-dried powder in a sealed vial. 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 for laboratory research only.
What is Thymosin Alpha 1?
Thymosin Alpha 1 is a 28-amino-acid peptide with an acetyl group on its first residue. It’s cut from a larger protein called prothymosin alpha, and it was first isolated from thymus tissue.
Its main research interest is the immune system, especially T cells and dendritic cells. It’s been studied as an immune modulator for decades.
Thymosin Alpha 1 vial specifications
- Compound: Thymosin Alpha 1
- Amount: 10mg per vial
- Form: lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder

What the research says
Allan Goldstein’s group isolated it in 1977 from a thymus extract called thymosin fraction 5. A synthetic version, thymalfasin, is sold under the name Zadaxin in more than 30 countries, mostly for hepatitis B and C, but it isn’t approved by the FDA.
That gives Thymosin Alpha 1 a larger body of human data than most research peptides. Our vial is for laboratory research only.

Checking the batch COA
Every batch gets its own certificate of analysis, and the QR code on the label takes you straight to it. Look for the lot number, the test date and the purity figure. If the lot on the paperwork doesn’t match the lot on the vial, set the vial aside until it’s sorted out.
File the COA with the rest of your study notes. If results ever shift between batches, it’s the first thing you’ll want to check.
Working out the concentration
How much liquid you add decides the concentration. For this vial holding 10mg:
- 1ml of bacteriostatic water gives 10mg/ml
- 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 5mg/ml
- 3ml of bacteriostatic water gives about 3.33mg/ml
Choose whichever volume makes the math simplest for your protocol, and label the vial with the concentration and the mixing date.
Storing and mixing
Unopened, the vial is happiest in a fridge at 2 to 8°C, or frozen for longer storage. Let it warm up to room temperature before you break the seal, so condensation doesn’t get in.
Most labs reconstitute it with bacteriostatic water. Add it slowly against the glass, then roll the vial between your fingers until it clears. Shaking can damage peptide chains, so skip that. Refrigerate the mixed solution and use it within about a month. A peptide case helps if vials travel between benches.
