Selank Where to Buy: $2.38/mg, and 0.20 EU/mL on One Lot
Selank where to buy, settled on evidence: seven criteria, $2.38 per mg with the code, and the two certificates that test different things on the same product.

Selank where to buy is a question with one listing and two answers, because the same product ships against two different certificates. At $23.75 with the code a 10 mg vial is $2.38 a milligram, and that figure is identical whichever lot arrives. What the figure buys is not identical at all.
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide, seven residues in the order Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro. The first four are tuftsin, an immune peptide the body already makes, and the Pro-Gly-Pro tail is a stability graft that slows enzymatic breakdown. It was developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics in Moscow and is registered as a medicine in Russia. It holds no FDA approval for any indication, which is why it reaches a US buyer as research material rather than through a pharmacy.
FDA has written down one concern about it, and it is a testing question rather than a matter of opinion: immunogenicity, arising from aggregation and peptide-related impurities. That makes the purchase a documentation exercise. Seven criteria follow, then the two certificates, then the listing scored against them with the gaps left visible, costed below.

Selank where to buy: seven criteria that come before a price
Every criterion here is checkable from a public document in about a minute, and none requires trusting a storefront's description of itself. Ordered by what they eliminate rather than by how often they are advertised.
| Criterion | What it rules out | Where you look |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Lot code on the certificate | A generic document reused across every batch | Compare the PDF string against the vial, character by character |
| 2. Purity by HPLC with the peak list | A percentage asserted with no chromatogram behind it | A peak table with retention times, not just a headline figure |
| 3. Identity by mass spectrometry | A clean peak that is the wrong molecule | An expected monoisotopic mass of 751.43 Da and a measured value beside it |
| 4. Measured quantity per vial | A label weight nobody ever weighed | A milligram figure described as measured or as net content |
| 5. Bacterial endotoxin result | Pyrogenic material that passed a purity test | An LAL assay and a figure in EU/mL |
| 6. Microbial or sterility screen | Contamination that endotoxin testing does not detect | A separate growth test; sterility and endotoxin are different questions |
| 7. A named external laboratory | In-house quality control presented as third-party testing | A laboratory name, address and a report or verification number |
Criteria 5 and 6 are the ones almost no research-chemical listing satisfies, and the ones FDA's concern points at directly. Criteria 1 to 4 establish that the milligrams you divide the price by are real, and criterion 7 decides whether any of it can be checked by anyone but the seller. Missing from the list: reviews, reputation and years in business, none of which produce a document.
Two certificates for one product, and only one covers endotoxin
Ascension Peptides publishes two third-party certificates against the Selank 10 mg listing, from two different laboratories, for two different lots. They do not test the same things, and that is the single most useful fact on this page.
| Field | MZ Biolabs, lot 29-01260229 | Kovera Labs, lot 29-05260628 |
|---|---|---|
| Analysis date | 2026-02-07, reported 2026-02-13 | 2026-06-02 |
| Purity | 99.32% by HPLC-UV | 99.371% by RP-HPLC |
| Identity | Monoisotopic mass 751.47 Da measured against 751.43 expected | Confirmed by LC-MS |
| Quantity in a 10 mg vial | 12.29 mg measured | 11.86 mg net content |
| Bacterial endotoxin | Not reported anywhere on the document | Below 0.20 EU/mL, kinetic chromogenic LAL to USP Chapter 85, against a limit of 0.5 EU/mL or less |
| Sterility screen | Not reported | Rapid screen, no growth, two days at 30 to 35 C |
| Heavy metals | Not reported | Arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury all negative |
Read the endotoxin row twice. Lot 29-01260229 is covered by a document that reports purity, identity and quantity and stops there. Lot 29-05260628 is covered by one that answers criteria 5 and 6 as well. Same product page, same price, different evidence.
So the practical version of where to buy Selank is narrower than it looks: buy from a seller that publishes lot-level certificates, then read the one matching the code on your vial rather than the one at the top of the page. A vendor that has published a full panel once has not published it for your batch.
Why immunogenicity puts testing scope above price
Most compounds on this site carry a regulatory position that reads as a shrug. Selank carries a written one. On its page listing bulk drug substances that may present significant safety risks, current as of 22 April 2026, FDA says of this compound:
Compounded drugs containing selank acetate may pose risk for immunogenicity for certain routes of administration due to the potential for aggregation and peptide-related impurities. FDA lacks important information regarding any safety issues raised by selank acetate administered to humans.
Aggregation is peptide molecules clumping into higher-order assemblies, and peptide-related impurities are the truncated and modified sequences synthesis leaves behind. An immune system can recognise both as foreign and neither is visible in a vial. What makes them tractable is that both are measurable: chromatography sees them, and endotoxin and microbial testing cover the contamination that compounds the risk.
The regulatory position, stated correctly
Selank appears on FDA's 503A bulk drug substances list in no category at all. It was nominated, and the nomination was withdrawn, which is recorded on that same safety-risks page under nominated but withdrawn substances. Category 2, the list of substances FDA identified as raising significant safety risks, currently holds six entries: cesium chloride, domperidone, germanium sesquioxide, ibutamoren mesylate, kisspeptin-10, and quinacrine hydrochloride for intrauterine administration. Selank is not among them.
Pages calling Selank Category 2 or banned from compounding are wrong, and the correct version is not more permissive: nominated, withdrawn and unlisted leaves a compounder no defensible route and no approval to fall back on. FDA's compounding material names the substance Selank acetate (TP-7), so the search is easy to repeat.
What $2.38 a milligram is measured against
One listing, one vial size, and four honest ways to state the rate. The first two divide by the label. The second two divide by what a laboratory weighed.
| Basis | Milligrams | Price paid | Cost per mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Label, list price | 10.00 | $47.50 | $4.75 |
| Label, with PEPTIDEDECK | 10.00 | $23.75 | $2.38 |
| Lot 29-01260229 as measured, with code | 12.29 | $23.75 | $1.93 |
| Lot 29-05260628 as measured, with code | 11.86 | $23.75 | $2.00 |
Both certificates report more material than the label promises, which is the opposite of the usual direction and worth crediting. It is also worth stating plainly: neither figure is a guarantee. An overfill is a property of a batch on a date, not a term of sale, and nothing on the listing commits to it. Compare on $2.38, treat $1.93 or $2.00 as what one lot turned out to hold, and notice that the two assayed lots differ from each other by 0.43 mg.
The full division, including what the quantity tiers do and what happens on a syringe barrel, is worked through on our Selank price breakdown. The short version for a purchasing decision: the tiers take 3%, 5% and 10% off the list price at three, five and ten vials, which lands at $4.61, $4.51 and $4.28 per milligram, all of them roughly double what the code does to a single vial.
Scoring the listing, criterion by criterion
The same seven criteria applied to the supplier this page links to, evidence named so you can disagree with it.
| Criterion | Evidence | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Lot code on the certificate | Lots 29-01260229 and 29-05260628 named on their documents with dates | Pass, if the code matches your vial |
| 2. Purity with peak list | 99.32% at 7.13 min with a second peak of 0.68% at 6.36 min shown; 99.371% on the later lot | Pass |
| 3. Identity by mass spectrometry | 751.47 Da measured against 751.43 expected, spectrum reproduced | Pass |
| 4. Measured quantity | 12.29 mg and 11.86 mg against a 10 mg label | Pass, and rare in this market |
| 5. Bacterial endotoxin | On the June lot only, below 0.20 EU/mL by kinetic chromogenic LAL | Lot-dependent |
| 6. Sterility screen | On the June lot only, and a rapid screen rather than compendial testing | Partial, lot-dependent |
| 7. Named external laboratory | MZ Biolabs of Tucson, Arizona and Kovera Labs, each with a report number | Pass |
Five clear passes, two rows that depend on which box you receive. That is better than most of this market and still short of a pharmaceutical release specification, which is the accurate conclusion rather than a disappointing one. One more line of arithmetic on the February certificate: 0.68% of the measured 12.29 mg is about 84 micrograms per vial of UV-detected material that is not Selank.
The same exercise elsewhere reaches different verdicts. Our BPC-157 source ranking deals with a market where nobody publishes a measured quantity, and the NAD+ buying criteria cover a compound where FDA has documented adverse events traced to endotoxin in material that passed purity testing.
What no certificate settles, and where the arithmetic starts
- A certificate covers a sampled aliquot on a date. Filling, capping, storage and transit all happen after the laboratory has finished. The document is evidence about a batch, not about the vial in your hand.
- A rapid sterility screen is not compendial sterility testing. The Kovera report says so itself: it describes the method as a preliminary assessment suitable for quality control and notes that full compendial sterility testing may be required for regulatory compliance.
- No certificate converts research material into a drug product. An endotoxin figure compares two suppliers. It clears nothing for use in a person, and FDA's statement that it lacks important information about safety issues in humans is not resolved by a laboratory report.
- Nasal spray listings answer a different question. People searching selank nasal spray where to buy are looking at a pre-mixed consumer format with a shelf life, a preservative question and rarely a lot-level certificate. Ascension sells the lyophilised vial, not a spray.
Once a vial is on the bench the numbers stop being about vendors. A 10 mg vial reconstituted at 2 mL is 5 mg/mL, so one unit on a U-100 barrel holds 0.05 mg and ten units hold 500 micrograms, purely as laboratory handling arithmetic. Choosing 1 mL doubles the concentration and halves the resolution without changing what a milligram cost. Our reconstitution guide, the syringe measurement guide and the Selank calculator handle that half.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Selank peptide, and what should the listing prove?expand_more
Research-chemical suppliers are the only channel selling it openly in the US, since no approved Selank product exists and there is no ordinary prescription route. The listing should name a lot code, link a batch-specific certificate from an external laboratory, report purity by HPLC and identity by mass spectrometry against 751.43 Da, and state a measured quantity in milligrams.
Does the Selank certificate include endotoxin testing?expand_more
It depends on the lot, which is why the code matters. The MZ Biolabs certificate for lot 29-01260229 reports 99.32% purity, identity by mass spectrometry and a measured 12.29 mg, with no endotoxin, pyrogen or sterility test anywhere on it. The Kovera Labs certificate for lot 29-05260628 adds endotoxin below 0.20 EU/mL by kinetic chromogenic LAL, a sterility screen with no growth and negative heavy metals. Read the one matching your vial.
Is Selank on the FDA Category 2 list?expand_more
No. Selank appears in no category of the 503A bulk drug substances list. It was nominated and the nomination was withdrawn, which FDA records on its safety-risks page under substances nominated but withdrawn. Category 2 currently contains six substances, none of them Selank. FDA's documented concern is immunogenicity from aggregation and peptide-related impurities, which is a testing argument rather than a listing status.
Selank nasal spray where to buy, and is it the same product?expand_more
No, it is a different purchase. A spray is a pre-mixed solution at a concentration someone else chose, usually with a preservative and rarely with lot-level testing published. A lyophilised vial is dry powder with a measured mass and a batch certificate. Ascension sells the vial at 10 mg, and the two cannot be compared on price until you know the milligrams in the bottle.
What does Selank cost per milligram?expand_more
$4.75 per milligram at the $47.50 list price and $2.38 with the code PEPTIDEDECK, both calculated on the 10 mg label. Divided by what the certificates measured, the same $23.75 works out at $1.93 per milligram on lot 29-01260229 and $2.00 on lot 29-05260628. The assayed figures are lot-specific results rather than a promise, so compare suppliers on $2.38.
Do the quantity tiers beat the discount code?expand_more
Not close. Three, five and ten vials take 3%, 5% and 10% off the list price, giving $4.61, $4.51 and $4.28 per milligram against $2.38 for a single vial with the code. A 10% discount cannot catch a 50% one, and whether the two combine at checkout is undocumented, so the cart is the only authority.
