    Research glossary

    Canonical definitions for the lab and regulatory vocabulary used across New-U research guides, Certificates of Analysis, and product datasheets. Educational framing only — research use only; not medical advice.

  • Peptide

    A short chain of amino acids (typically 2–50 residues) joined by peptide bonds. Smaller and more selective than full proteins; many act as endogenous signalling molecules studied in laboratory research.

    Peptide research guides →

    Research compound

    Laboratory-grade material supplied for in-vitro and animal-model research. On this site it is synonymous with research peptides and related compounds — not a regulatory product category for human use.

    Research catalogue →

    Reconstitution

    Dissolving lyophilised (freeze-dried) peptide powder in bacteriostatic or sterile water to prepare a research solution. Laboratory dilution chemistry only — not human dosing or injection instructions.

    Reconstitution guide →

    Bacteriostatic water (BAC)

    Sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The standard diluent for multi-use peptide research vials because the preservative inhibits microbial growth between aliquots.

    Reconstitution calculator →

    Lyophilised

    Freeze-dried. Most research peptides ship as lyophilised powder for thermal stability and shelf life before reconstitution.

    HPLC purity

    Peak-area normalisation by reversed-phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography — the canonical purity metric reported on peptide Certificates of Analysis.

    How to read a COA →

    CoA (Certificate of Analysis)

    A third-party laboratory document attesting identity, purity (typically HPLC), and related quality metrics for a specific manufacturing batch of a research compound.

    COA gallery →

    RUO (Research Use Only)

    Labelling that the material is intended strictly for laboratory research and is not approved as a medicine, food, or cosmetic for human use. New-U compounds are supplied under RUO framing.

    Editorial standards →

    GLP-1

    Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 — an incretin hormone. Research mimetics discussed on this site include Semaglutide (mono-agonist), Tirzepatide (GLP-1 + GIP), and Retatrutide (triple agonist).

    Metabolic research posts →

    GHRH

    Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone. Pituitary GHRHR agonists studied in research include Sermorelin, Tesamorelin, and CJC-1295 analogues that trigger pulsatile GH release in experimental models.

    GHRP

    Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide — ghrelin-receptor (GHSR-1a) agonists such as GHRP-2, GHRP-6, Hexarelin, and Ipamorelin, often studied alongside GHRH analogues.

    Endotoxin / LAL

    Limulus Amebocyte Lysate assay measuring bacterial endotoxin contamination. Relevant quality control for injectable research models; not a human-use clearance.

    Evidence tier

    How this site frames claim strength: Tier 1 (human RCT or approved indication), Tier 2 (pilot/observational or robust in-vivo), Tier 3 (in-vitro or limited animal data), and anecdotal (n-of-1 reports, never primary citations).

    Full research appendix →

    IGF-1

    Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 — a primary downstream mediator of growth hormone signalling. LR3 is a long-acting analogue with reduced IGF-binding-protein affinity used in skeletal-muscle research models.

    Melanocortin receptors

    A family of G-protein-coupled receptors (MC1R–MC5R) involved in pigmentation, energy balance, and other pathways. Targeted in research by compounds such as Melanotan analogues and PT-141.

    All compounds referenced on this site are supplied for laboratory research use only. Definitions here do not constitute dosing guidance, therapeutic claims, or instructions for human use.

    Premium research peptides at >99% HPLC-verified purity, third-party tested by Janoshik Analytical & Freedom Diagnostics. Published Certificates of Analysis for released sale batches. Shipped lab-direct, discreet and cold-chain, worldwide. For laboratory research use only.
