Why this one
Epitalon came out of pineal peptide work and survived as a defined synthetic sequence — four residues, unambiguous, easy to source consistently. That is why it persists in telomere literature while the preparations it descended from did not.
Used in telomerase activity assays, replicative senescence models in fibroblast culture, and ageing-associated gene expression work.

Lot-specific identity, purity, net content and endotoxin figures are stated on the certificate of analysis supplied with each vial.
Handling
Store sealed vials at 2–8°C for short-term use, or at −20°C for long-term storage, and protect from light. Reconstitute with the diluent your protocol specifies; bacteriostatic water is the common choice where a vial will be entered more than once.
Allow refrigerated material to reach room temperature before opening, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles once in solution.
Certificate of analysis
Every lot is tested by an independent ISO-accredited laboratory. The lot number on your vial resolves at the testing laboratory directly, so the purity figure never has to come from the party selling it to you.
