WHAT IS IT

EPO (Erythropoietin) is a recombinant type of the human hormone, erythropoietin. It is used to treat anemia usually in people with chronic kidney failure, cancer or undergoing HIV treatment with ZIdovudine. It stimulates the production of red blood cells by enhancing the differentiation of red blood cell precursor cells in the bone marrow.

HOW TO USE

Initial dose - 20IU per 1kg of body weight subcutaneously or 40IU per 1kg of body weight intravenously 3 times/week. 

STORAGE

Lyophilized (Unmixed)

● Short term - Lyophilized peptides will remain stable at room temperature for 30-60 days. However, upon receipt all peptides should be stored in the refrigerator (under 4C (39F) for maximum stability and longevity. Peptides stored at this temperature can last 1-2 years.
● Long term - If you are not going to use the peptides withing 1-2 months it is preferable to store the peptides in a freezer at -18C (0F). Peptides stored at this temperature can last 2-3 years. Even more preferable for long term storage is freezing at -80C (-112F) in order to preserve the peptides stability long term.

Reconstituted (Mixed)

● Short term - Peptide solutions generally remain stable up to 30 days when stored in the refrigerator at 4C (39F) depending on the length of the peptide sequence and its inherent instability factors.
● Long term - If peptides absolutely must be stored in solution, sterile buffers at pH 5-6 should be used if possible, and the peptide solution should be separated into aliquots to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Freezing at -80C (-112F) is optimal in order to preserve the peptides stability.
