ARA-290Research-Grade Peptide · Lab-Verified Purity
ARA-290 (Cibinetide) is an 11-amino-acid peptide fragment derived from the tertiary structure of erythropoietin (EPO). Unlike native EPO, ARA-290 is engineered to bind selectively to the innate repair receptor (IRR) — a heteromeric complex of EPO-receptor and beta-common receptor subunits expressed on immune, vascular, and neural tissue — without triggering the hematopoietic (red-blood-cell-forming) activity of the classical EPO receptor. Investigational research protocols have examined this selectivity in the context of tissue-protective signaling, neuroinflammatory pathway modulation, small-fiber neuropathy models, metabolic and inflammatory disorders, and post-injury tissue-repair cascades. Every lot is third-party HPLC verified for identity and >99% peptide purity, filled under sterile compounding conditions, and shipped from our Southern California facility. Supplied as lyophilized sterile powder for reconstitution. STRICTLY FOR IN-VITRO LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. NOT FOR HUMAN OR VETERINARY USE. NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.

By purchasing this product you represent that you are a qualified researcher, are at least 21 years of age, and will handle this material exclusively within a controlled laboratory environment in compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations.

Everything researchers need to know about ARA-290
Manufacturing, testing, handling, and shipping details for ARA-290. For research purposes only — not for human or animal consumption.
ARA-290 — Product Overview
ARA-290 is a research-grade synthetic peptide supplied by ProSource Labs, a trusted US-based direct-to-researcher retail store in the Healing & Recovery category. All lab-verified ARA-290 vials are synthesized in a controlled laboratory environment, lyophilized (freeze-dried) for long-term stability, and sealed in tamper-evident vials before undergoing third-party analytical testing.
ARA-290 is offered strictly for laboratory research applications — including in vitro assays, cell-culture experiments, receptor-binding characterization studies, biochemical pathway investigation, and preclinical mechanism-of-action work in animal models. Not intended for and not approved for human or veterinary consumption. Every ARA-290 order ships with a batch identifier for full traceability back to its manufacturing lot, HPLC purity report, and Certificate of Analysis (COA).
ARA-290 — Molecular Characteristics & Vial Specifications
ProSource Labs supplies ARA-290 in the following available vial sizes: 10mg. Each ARA-290 vial contains pure lyophilized peptide — no fillers, no bulking agents. Product SKU references: ARA-10MV.
Batches are characterized by ESI mass spectrometry to confirm molecular weight against the theoretical value, with amino-acid sequence confirmation on selected QA lots. Peptide content assay distinguishes net peptide mass from residual counter-ion salt.
ARA-290 — Laboratory Handling & Storage
Lyophilized ARA-290 vials should be stored at -20°C (or colder) in a laboratory freezer, inside the sealed factory container. Minimize warm-up cycles — move only the specific vial needed for a given experiment out of frozen storage at a time.
All laboratory handling of ARA-290 should follow the receiving institution's SOPs and applicable peer-reviewed protocols relevant to the researcher's specific experimental question. ProSource Labs does not publish end-user preparation or usage instructions.
ARA-290 — Third-Party Analytical Testing
Every batch of ARA-290 released by ProSource Labs undergoes independent reverse-phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) — the industry-standard analytical method for this class of research compound. Target chromatographic purity is typically ≥ 99%.
Additional characterization may include ESI mass spectrometry for molecular weight confirmation, Karl Fischer titration for residual moisture, and appearance/solubility inspection. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available on request through customer support after purchase.
ARA-290 — Quality Assurance Process
Each production lot of ARA-290 is quarantined pending analytical release, tested against documented purity, identity, and moisture acceptance criteria, and only released to sellable inventory after passing every QA checkpoint. Batches that fail any single criterion are quarantined and never reach customer-facing inventory.
If a vial of ARA-290 you received from ProSource Labs ever fails your own institution's incoming QA testing, contact customer support at support@prosourcelabs.org — we retain samples of every batch for cross-verification.
ARA-290 — Typical Research Application
ARA-290 is used in preclinical and cell-culture research within the Healing & Recovery category. Consult peer-reviewed literature relevant to your specific experimental question for detailed methodology.
ARA-290 — Packaging & Fast Southern California Shipping
ARA-290 vials ship in tamper-evident, moisture-resistant, cold-chain-friendly outer packaging from our Southern California distribution facility for fast US domestic delivery — typically 2-4 business days coast-to-coast, with expedited options available at checkout.
Every ARA-290 shipment is discreet — the outer packaging carries no product-specific branding or direct reference to the compound name inside, protecting researcher privacy. Tracking numbers are emailed automatically. For institutional or high-volume orders, dedicated wholesale pricing is available through the wholesale portal.
