Frequently Asked Questions

What is Snap-8?
Snap-8 is a synthetic octapeptide (eight amino-acid residues), also known as acetyl octapeptide-3, with molecular formula C42H72N16O15S and a molecular weight of approximately 1075.3 g/mol and sequence Ac-Glu-Glu-Met-Gln-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp-NH2. Pure Health Peptides supplies it as a lyophilized powder strictly for in vitro laboratory research.
What is Snap-8 studied for in research?
In controlled laboratory settings, Snap-8 is studied for its interaction with the SNARE protein complex. It is designed to mimic the N-terminal segment of the SNAP-25 protein, and research literature reports that it can competitively interfere with SNARE complex assembly in vitro. These are non-clinical, in vitro findings.
Is Snap-8 a peptide?
Yes. Snap-8 is a true synthetic octapeptide (acetyl octapeptide-3) - an eight-residue chain that is N-acetylated and C-amidated. It is characterized as a defined research reference material; identifiers include UNII 8K14HJF88S.
What are Snap-8's chemical specifications, and what size does it come in?
Snap-8 has the molecular formula C42H72N16O15S and a molecular weight of approximately 1075.3 g/mol (refer to the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis for the exact value). It is supplied as a lyophilized white to off-white powder in a 10 mg vial at greater than or equal to 99% purity (HPLC). It is not formulated for cosmetic, clinical, diagnostic, or therapeutic use. Store in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture.
Where can I buy Snap-8, and is it third-party tested?
Snap-8 is available from Pure Health Peptides as research-grade material in a 10 mg vial at greater than or equal to 99% HPLC-verified purity. Every production lot is third-party tested in the US, with a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis available for verification.
Is Snap-8 intended for human or clinical use?
No. Snap-8 is for research use only and is not intended for human or veterinary use. It has not been evaluated by the FDA and is not a drug, food, cosmetic, or dietary supplement. It is supplied only to qualified research professionals for in vitro laboratory research, and KYC verification is required prior to fulfillment. Any use outside of controlled in vitro research is strictly prohibited.
