Semax Nasal Spray — 10mg

Semax is a synthetic analog of the ACTH(4-10) fragment, developed as a neuroactive peptide and studied extensively in neuroprotection and cognitive research models. This nasal atomiser format supplies the same research-grade Semax stocked in vial form, packaged for intranasal research handling.

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 losing potency 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 full-strength 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.

BENEFITS

• Ships unmixed — full-strength lyophilized material, not a solution degrading in transit

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

• Metered atomiser — consistent, repeatable delivery volume per actuation

• Intranasal research lineage — Semax is most commonly studied via this route

• Verified identity — MS-confirmed against a Janoshik report you can check independently

WHAT RESEARCHERS LOOK AT

• BDNF and neurotrophic signalling in preclinical cognitive models

• Intranasal versus parenteral delivery in comparative research models

• Comparative activity against N-Acetyl Semax Amidate in parallel study arms

• 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 losing potency the day it is filled. Durham Peptides ships the lyophilized peptide and the sterile diluent separately so the researcher reconstitutes on arrival — full-strength 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.

SEMAX NASAL SPRAY VS SEMAX VIAL — WHICH SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Both supply the same research-grade Semax. The vial — Semax — 10mg — is the flexible option, since the researcher chooses the reconstitution volume and therefore the working concentration. The nasal atomiser is the convenience option, arriving with matched diluent and a metered actuator for consistent delivery volume. The choice depends on whether the protocol calls for a custom concentration or a repeatable fixed one.

SEMAX VS N-ACETYL SEMAX AMIDATE?

They are different compounds. Semax is the unmodified ACTH(4-10) analog. N-Acetyl Semax Amidate adds N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation, modifications studied for their effect on the molecule's stability profile. Researchers commonly run them in parallel arms rather than substituting one for the other. Durham Peptides stocks both.

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 5:00 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 Janoshik-tested with a unique report key you can confirm independently — see our guide on how to verify a Janoshik unique key.
