GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) complexed with copper(II). Supplied as a lyophilized complex for in-vitro laboratory research — held to a ≥99% reversed-phase HPLC purity specification, with identity to be confirmed by HPLC retention time against a reference standard; nothing ships until it passes third-party testing.

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) complexed with copper(II). Elyria Bio supplies it as a lyophilized 50 mg reference material, held to a ≥99% reversed-phase HPLC purity specification, for in-vitro laboratory research only.
Molecular formula C14H24N6O4·Cu · molecular weight 403.93 g/mol · CAS 89030-95-5. Every lot is held to a ≥99% HPLC purity floor and will ship with its third-party certificate of analysis.
Overview
As a characterized reference material, GHK-Cu is used to standardize in-vitro assays in fibroblast and gene-expression research. Descriptors reference documented in-vitro and pre-clinical context only and make no therapeutic claim.
Elyria Bio supplies GHK-Cu as a lyophilized complex, held to a ≥99% reversed-phase HPLC purity specification, with identity to be confirmed by HPLC retention time against a reference standard. Every lot will ship with its third-party certificate of analysis documenting purity and identity, and is fully traceable to its matching COA. Pair it with Epithalon or Semax, or browse the full Series D collection for related reference standards.
Documented in-vitro applications
GHK-Cu is offered strictly as a laboratory reference material. The following describe documented in-vitro research contexts and make no therapeutic claim.
- Fibroblast proliferation and ECM-expression assays
- Gene-expression profiling reference preparations
- Copper-peptide stability and identity studies
- Method development and validation for RP-HPLC and LC-MS identity assays
Specifications
Representative release specification. Each shipped lot will be documented on its own third-party certificate of analysis.
Certificate of analysis
Every batch will be third-party tested before release, and nothing ships until it passes.
Release specification
No lot released yetIndependent testing
The COA is produced by an independent United States laboratory once testing is complete — not in-house — and reports RP-HPLC purity and identity by retention time against a reference standard for this material's specific lot.
Storage & handling
Lyophilized GHK-Cu is stable long-term when kept cold and dry.
Sealed and desiccated, protected from light. Stable approximately 1–2 years from the assay date printed on the COA.
Stability figures describe the material in the unopened container as shipped. Once the seal is broken the storage history is no longer ours to describe.
Ships lyophilized at ambient temperature. Move the vial to −20°C on arrival and keep it dry.
All materials described on this page are supplied for in-vitro research use only. Elyria Bio provides no dosing guidance and supplies nothing for human or veterinary use.
Shipping & guarantees
Handled like the reference materials they are — documented, protected, and shipped within the United States. This item is presale: the vials are in stock and held here, and it dispatches once an independent laboratory has tested this batch and released its certificate of analysis — expected in 2–4 weeks.
Free shipping over $150
Flat $6 U.S. shipping, free over $150 — free express shipping over $250. Every order is fully tracked end to end.
U.S. domestic onlyShips when its certificate returns
The vials are in stock and held here. We do not manufacture, and we do not ship material before its certificate of analysis is in hand — a sample from this batch goes to an independent laboratory and dispatch follows the result. Expect 2–4 weeks. No test results exist for this batch yet and none are shown below. If it fails, you are refunded in full.
PresaleDiscreet packaging
Plain, unbranded outer packaging with no product descriptors visible on the exterior.
Private by defaultShipment protection
Lost, damaged, or stolen packages are reshipped at no cost. Damage claims require photo evidence.
One-time replacement30-day specification claim
If material does not meet its published specification, report it within 30 calendar days of delivery with a third-party lab report. One vial may be opened for testing; the rest return sealed. No change-of-mind returns.

Frequently asked questions
What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) complexed with copper(II). Elyria Bio supplies it strictly as a lyophilized complex in-vitro laboratory reference material for qualified research professionals.
What is GHK-Cu used for in research?
In laboratory settings GHK-Cu is used as a reference standard in fibroblast and gene-expression assays and related in-vitro studies. It is not a drug, supplement, or food and is not for human or veterinary use.
How pure is Elyria Bio's GHK-Cu?
Every lot is held to a ≥99% reversed-phase HPLC purity floor before release. Identity is confirmed against a reference standard by the laboratory that tested the lot; the method used is stated on that lot's certificate. We publish the actual assay run for each lot rather than a generic claim.
Does GHK-Cu ship with a certificate of analysis?
Yes. Each lot will ship with its third-party certificate of analysis produced by an independent United States laboratory once testing is complete, reporting HPLC purity and identity by retention time against a reference standard. Certificates are published on the product page for the material they cover. Certificates are published on the product page they belong to.
How should GHK-Cu be stored?
Store the lyophilized complex sealed and desiccated at −20°C, protected from light, where it is stable for 1–2 years. Keep it in the unopened container until it is used, and return it to −20°C promptly after handling.
Is there bulk pricing for GHK-Cu?
Yes. Multi-vial packs are discounted — the savings are shown on each pack option at checkout. Discounts apply to pack SKUs, not to individually added vials. Orders over $150 ship free within the United States, with free express shipping over $250.
