Ordering at volume
AOD-9604 sits in the standard catalog: California working stock rather than the depth held for the incretin staples. A typical order ships from that stock, and a very large one may wait for more. The price behaviour is the opposite of the lipidated peptides on the same page. For a 16-residue sequence the vial, the stopper, the lyophilization slot and the release testing are a large share of the per-vial figure and the peptide itself is a small one, so the 10 mg vial costs well under double the 5 mg vial.
That shapes the fill decision. A buyer who needs a set total of peptide and has no reason to hold 5 mg vials moves to 10 mg, halves the vial count, halves the carton count and pays a little more per vial for it. The two fills remain separate lines toward the 1,000 and the 2,500 breaks, so the whole quantity on one fill reaches a break sooner than a split across both. Contract pricing begins above 10,000 vials of one fill.
Two fills may be drawn from the same lot, so a mixed order can arrive under one lot number, but do not assume it: read the labels. On a first order ask for the certificate for the lot shipped and the safety data sheet at the same time; both are available on request, and COA requests explains what the certificate covers.

What the material is
AOD-9604 is a short synthetic peptide of sixteen residues. Fifteen of them reproduce the C-terminal stretch of human growth hormone, residues 177 to 191 of the 191-residue protein; the sixteenth is a tyrosine added at the N-terminus. It is therefore a fragment analogue rather than a modified full-length hormone, and it sits in this catalog with the incretin family for ordering purposes although it is not an incretin sequence.
The molecular weight is 1,815.1 g/mol, around a third that of the lipidated incretin peptides listed beside it. There is no lipid chain, which makes it a straightforward peptide to handle: it wets readily, does not foam, and gives a clear solution quickly.
The vial holds a white lyophilized powder or small cake under a stopper and crimp, at 5 mg or 10 mg. With so little solid in the vial the cake is thin and can look sparse; that is normal for a 5 mg fill and is not a sign of a failed lyophilization.
Storage and reconstitution
The sealed vial keeps at −20 °C for long-term storage and at 2–8 °C for shorter periods; short peptides of this kind are robust in the dry state. Keep it dark and keep it dry. Moisture drawn in through a failing seal is the main way a lyophilized cake of this size degrades, and a cake that has gone from powder to a glassy smear on the vial base has met moisture.
Dissolution is easy. Sterile water or a common aqueous buffer takes the solid up in seconds at room temperature with a gentle swirl, and the result is a clear, colourless solution. Foaming is not an issue with this molecule, and there is no need to let it stand.
Solutions are less durable than the solid. Hold at 2–8 °C and dark, use within days, and portion before freezing so that each aliquot is thawed a single time.
Buying questions
Why is the 10 mg AOD-9604 vial not twice the price of the 5 mg vial?
Because most of the cost of a small peptide vial is the vial: filling, lyophilization and release testing cost the same whether 5 mg or 10 mg goes in. The peptide is the smaller part of the figure, so doubling it moves the price by much less than double. See the pricing page for the per-vial figures as they are confirmed.
The AOD-9604 cake looks very thin. Is the vial short?
Not usually. Five milligrams of a short peptide lyophilizes to a thin layer that can look sparse against the glass. The concern is a cake that has collapsed into a glassy film or shows a moisture ring, not one that is simply small. Photograph anything doubtful and quote the lot number.
What lead time should I expect on AOD-9604 as a standard-catalog line?
From stock for typical quantities, so days rather than weeks, with a ship date on the written quote. A 2,500-vial order or larger may exceed what is on the shelf, and the quote gives the date. Orders ship from California on weekdays.
Does AOD-9604 need to be stored frozen?
Not strictly, while sealed and dry. Frozen is the recommendation for long holding; refrigerated is fine for shorter periods. What it must not do is take on moisture, so keep the seal intact and let cold vials warm before opening.
