FAQ
GDF-8 — frequently asked by B2B buyers.
Is GDF-8 the same as myostatin?
Yes. GDF-8 (growth/differentiation factor 8) and myostatin are the same TGF-β-superfamily protein, also catalogued as MSTN. Pepti supplies it as a lyophilized research-grade recombinant protein for in-vitro laboratory use only.
What format and vial size does Pepti supply?
GDF-8 ships as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in 1mg vials. The mature protein is a disulfide-linked homodimer of ~25 kDa; the exact recombinant construct and expression host are stated on each batch COA.
What documentation accompanies each batch?
Every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis reporting identity, purity by RP-HPLC and/or SDS-PAGE, and endotoxin level. Additional third-party HPLC/MS verification and QC data are available on request for qualified B2B accounts.
What is the minimum order quantity, and are OEM or private-label options available?
MOQ is 50 vials. Pepti manufactures to order and offers bulk supply, custom fill volumes, and private-label / OEM packaging and labeling for research-supply distributors and brands.
What purity can be expected?
Recombinant GDF-8 is typically supplied at ≥95% purity as determined by RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE; higher-spec lots can be quoted on RFQ. Purity for each batch is confirmed on its COA.
