KPV Nasal Spray — 10mg

KPV is a tripeptide corresponding to the final three residues of alpha-MSH. Despite its very small size it is studied as a compound in its own right rather than only as a fragment of the parent hormone. This nasal atomiser format supplies the same research-grade KPV stocked in vial form.

SHIPPED UNMIXED — AND WHY THAT MATTERS

Durham Peptides does not ship pre-diluted nasal sprays. Peptides in solution are materially less stable than in lyophilized form, so a bottle that is mixed at the warehouse begins degrading the day it is filled and continues to do so in transit and in storage. Instead, the lyophilized peptide and the diluent travel separately and the researcher reconstitutes on arrival — which means undegraded lyophilized material and a known, controlled in-use window rather than an unknown one.

Every nasal spray ships with sterile water preserved with 0.3% potassium sorbate, supplied specifically for this format. No separate bacteriostatic water purchase is required.

FORMAT

• Ships unmixed — stable lyophilized material, not a solution degrading in transit

• Diluent included — sterile water with 0.3% potassium sorbate, no separate purchase needed

• Minimal structure — three residues carrying the signalling attributed to the alpha-MSH parent

• Verified identity — MS-confirmed against a third-party lab report you can check independently

WHAT RESEARCHERS LOOK AT

• Signalling inherited from the alpha-MSH parent structure

• How a three-residue sequence retains activity the full hormone carries

• Behaviour of a very small peptide in stability and handling work

• Post-reconstitution stability across the in-use window

DOES THE NASAL SPRAY COME PRE-MIXED?

No, and that is deliberate. Peptides are materially less stable in solution than in lyophilized form, so a pre-diluted bottle starts degrading the day it is filled. Durham Peptides ships the lyophilized peptide and the sterile diluent separately so the researcher reconstitutes on arrival — undegraded material, and a known in-use window rather than an unknown one.

DO I NEED TO BUY BACTERIOSTATIC WATER SEPARATELY?

No. Every nasal spray ships with its own diluent — sterile water preserved with 0.3% potassium sorbate, supplied specifically for the atomiser format. This differs from the lyophilized vials in our catalogue, which are reconstituted with bacteriostatic water sold separately.

NASAL SPRAY VS VIAL — WHICH SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Both supply the same research-grade KPV. The vial — KPV — 10mg — is the flexible option, since the researcher chooses the reconstitution volume and therefore the working concentration. The nasal atomiser arrives with matched diluent included.

WHAT IS KPV?

KPV is a tripeptide, Lys-Pro-Val, corresponding to the final three residues of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Despite its very small size it is studied as a compound in its own right rather than only as a fragment of the parent hormone.

HOW SHOULD IT BE STORED AFTER RECONSTITUTION?

Keep the bottle refrigerated at 2–8°C and protected from light both before and after reconstitution. Once reconstituted, use within an appropriate research timeframe — a peptide in solution has a materially shorter usable life than the sealed lyophilized material.

HOW IS IT SHIPPED IN CANADA?

Orders placed and paid before 4:00 PM EST ship the same business day via Canada Post Xpresspost with full tracking. Shipping is domestic from within Canada, so there are no customs delays or border holds.

IS THE COA VERIFIABLE?

Yes. Every batch is independently lab-tested with a unique report key you can confirm independently — see our guide on how to verify a lab report key.
