Snap-8 10mg

Snap-8 10mg is a 10mg vial of Snap-8, a cosmetic octapeptide, supplied as freeze-dried powder. It’s intended for lab research only.

About Snap-8

SNAP-8 (acetyl octapeptide-3) is an eight-amino-acid peptide that extends argireline by two amino acids. Like argireline, it mimics the end of SNAP-25, a protein needed to release acetylcholine at nerve endings.

It’s used in cosmetic research on expression lines.

How Snap-8 acts in the lab

SNAP-8 works the same way as argireline: it mimics the N-terminal end of SNAP-25 and competes for a spot in the SNARE complex that releases acetylcholine.

The two extra amino acids are meant to make that competition more effective. Less acetylcholine release means weaker muscle contraction in the models used.

Snap-8 research

The manufacturer reports reduced wrinkle depth in small volunteer studies and stronger activity than argireline in cell assays.

Independent peer-reviewed data are limited.

How to reconstitute Snap-8 10mg

Concentration is the amount in the vial divided by the volume of water you add. With 10mg of powder in this vial:

• 1mL of bacteriostatic water gives 10mg/mL
• 2mL of bacteriostatic water gives 5mg/mL
• 3mL of bacteriostatic water gives 3.33mg/mL

Go with whichever number is easiest to work with in your protocol, and label the vial with the concentration and the date you mixed it.

Use sterile bacteriostatic water, like our bacteriostatic water. Let the vial reach room temperature, run the water slowly down the inside of the glass, then roll the vial gently until the powder dissolves. Don’t shake it. Shaking can shear peptide chains.

Snap-8 10mg storage and shelf life

Store sealed vials of Snap-8 10mg in the freezer at -20°C, out of direct light. Mixed solution goes in the fridge at 2 to 8°C and should be used within about 28 days.

Running several vials at once? Our 10 vial kit case holds up to ten vials upright in separate wells under a clear lid, which keeps a fridge shelf tidy and the labels easy to read.

Snap-8 10mg quality notes

Every Snap-8 10mg vial carries a printed label with the compound name and amount, so you always know what you’re holding. If your lab needs batch paperwork for its records, contact Peptira support before you order and ask what’s available for the current batch.

Many labs run their own identity check when a new batch arrives. For peptides, purity is usually measured by HPLC, which separates a sample into its parts and reports the main compound as a share of the total. Mass spectrometry is often run alongside it to confirm the molecular weight.

Write the order date and the vial details into your lab notes. If a result looks odd later, you can tie it back to the exact material you used.

Planning a study with Snap-8 10mg

Start from the protocol. Total the amount every arm needs from the first time point to the last, divide by the 10mg in a vial and add a spare. It’s cheaper to order once than to wait on a second shipment halfway through.

Only reconstitute what you’ll use in the next few weeks. Sealed vials stay stable in the freezer, while a mixed vial should be finished within about 28 days.

Keep vials from one batch together in a study where you can. The batch number on the label ties each result back to the lab paperwork.
