What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a long-acting GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist peptide. In laboratory research it serves as a reference GLP-1 agonist for receptor-binding, metabolic-signaling and cardiovascular cell-model studies.

Research applications

  • GLP-1 receptor binding and agonism research
  • Metabolic signaling pathway studies
  • Cardiovascular research models

Handling & reconstitution

Semaglutide is supplied as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution in bacteriostatic or sterile water. See the reconstitution guide and use the reconstitution calculator to work out concentration and syringe units; for diluent choice see bacteriostatic water vs sterile water.

Quality & Certificate of Analysis

Every Semaglutide lot is verified by independent third-party HPLC (purity) and mass spectrometry (identity), with a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis included on each order.
