AOD-9604 | Research Grade | 99.36% Purity | Janoshik Verified
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment. It is derived from the C-terminus of human growth hormone. Researchers use it to study metabolic and lipid-related pathways.
So if you’re sourcing AOD-9604 for lab work, purity is everything. Bad purity means bad data. That’s why every vial at ZenPeptideAmanda comes with a Janoshik-verified COA tied to your exact batch.

What Is AOD-9604 and Why Do Researchers Use It?
AOD-9604 stands for Anti-Obesity Drug 9604. It is a 16-amino acid peptide fragment. First, it was identified as the portion of growth hormone responsible for fat metabolism signaling.
However, it does not bind to IGF-1 receptors. So it does not affect insulin sensitivity or general growth pathways. That makes it useful for isolated metabolic research.
Researchers studying lipid oxidation, adipogenesis, and fat cell signaling frequently work with this compound. It is also referenced in studies examining cartilage repair mechanisms.
Also, its high receptor selectivity makes it a cleaner research tool. You get targeted signaling data without GH-pathway interference.
Is AOD-9604 Purity Verified by an Independent Lab?
Yes. Every batch sold at ZenPeptideAmanda is tested by Janoshik, a well-known third-party peptide testing laboratory.
Our current batch shows 99.36% purity. That’s not estimated. It’s documented. The COA is batch-specific. You can match it to your vial by lot number.
So when you buy AOD-9604 here, you’re not guessing at purity. You’re working from verified data.
Why Janoshik?
Janoshik uses HPLC and MS testing. They are widely cited in the peptide research community. Their testing methodology is transparent and reproducible. Therefore their results are taken seriously in lab settings.
How Should AOD-9604 Be Stored in a Research Setting?
Storage matters. A degraded peptide is a useless peptide.
- Long-term storage: -20°C in the lyophilized (freeze-dried) form
- Short-term use: 4°C for up to 4 weeks
- After reconstitution: 4°C, use within 28 days
- Avoid: Repeated freeze-thaw cycles. These break down the peptide structure.
Also, protect from light. AOD-9604 should be stored in a sealed, opaque environment when not in active use.
ZenPeptideAmanda ships all peptides with proper cold-chain handling. Your vial arrives in lyophilized form. That means maximum stability at delivery.
What Is the Reconstitution Protocol for AOD-9604 in Lab Research?
This is purely for research context. Here is the standard lab approach:
First, calculate your target research concentration. Common protocols use concentrations between 0.5 mg/mL and 1 mg/mL.
Next, use bacteriostatic water (BAC water) for reconstitution. It prevents microbial growth in the vial after opening. We also sell Bacteriostatic Water separately.
Then, inject the BAC water slowly down the side of the vial. Do not inject directly onto the lyophilized powder. Do not shake. Swirl gently until fully dissolved.
Finally, store the reconstituted solution at 4°C. Use within 28 days. Label the vial with the reconstitution date.
Where Can Researchers Buy AOD-9604 with a Verified COA?
Not every supplier tests every batch. Many use estimated or shared COAs. That’s a problem for reproducible research.
ZenPeptideAmanda provides batch-specific Janoshik COAs. Every order. No exceptions.
Also, we offer:
- Free shipping on orders over $100
- 100% satisfaction guarantee
- Easy returns, no questions asked
- Research-grade compounds only — nothing consumer-grade or mislabeled
So if you’re sourcing AOD-9604 for lab use, ZenPeptideAmanda is the place to start.
FAQ:
Q: What is AOD-9604 used for in research?
A: AOD-9604 is studied for its role in lipid metabolism, fat oxidation, and adipogenesis. It is also researched in cartilage and bone repair models. It is for research use only.
Q: What purity is AOD-9604 from ZenPeptideAmanda?
A: Our current batch tests at 99.36% purity. This is confirmed by Janoshik, a third-party HPLC testing lab. The batch-specific COA is available with every order.
Q: Is AOD-9604 the same as HGH fragment 176-191?
A: They are similar but not identical. HGH Frag 176-191 is a commonly referenced sequence. AOD-9604 is a slightly modified, stabilized version developed for research applications. Both are GH-derived C-terminal fragments.
Q: How is AOD-9604 different from full-length human growth hormone?
A: AOD-9604 does not bind to the IGF-1 receptor. So it does not produce systemic growth effects. It isolates the lipolytic signaling portion of GH. That makes it more specific for fat metabolism research.
Q: What solvent should I use to reconstitute AOD-9604?
A: Bacteriostatic water is standard. Sterile water can also be used. Do not use saline unless your protocol specifically requires it. BAC water extends shelf life after reconstitution.
Q: How long does reconstituted AOD-9604 stay stable?
A: Up to 28 days at 4°C. Longer stability is possible frozen, but avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Always label with reconstitution date.
Q: Does AOD-9604 need to be kept cold during shipping?
A: Yes. ZenPeptideAmanda ships with cold-chain handling. The lyophilized form is more stable than liquid, but we still follow proper temperature protocols in transit.
For research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not for food or drug use. ZenPeptideAmanda sells exclusively to licensed researchers and laboratory professionals.
