SNAP-8 Research Peptide, US-Made & Third-Party Tested
✓ US-made · third-party tested · free US shipping over $100
what is snap-8?
SNAP-8 is a synthetic acetylated octapeptide, an elongated analog of acetyl hexapeptide-3 (Argireline) extended by two additional residues. Its sequence is modeled on the N-terminal region of SNAP-25, one of the proteins that assembles the SNARE complex, which makes it a convenient synthetic tool for studying that assembly in vitro.
In the laboratory, SNAP-8 is investigated in SNARE-complex and neurotransmitter-vesicle research, where it is used as a competitive peptide model for examining how SNAP-25 participates in vesicle docking and fusion, and as a reference compound in dermal cell-culture and peptide-permeation studies. Verve manufactures SNAP-8 in the United States, tests every batch by HPLC to a 99%+ purity standard, and publishes a batch-level certificate of analysis.
common research applications
SNAP-8 is supplied strictly for laboratory research use only. Reported research contexts include:

- Comparative octapeptide and hexapeptide analog research
purity, testing & COA
Every batch of verve SNAP-8 is synthesized and vial-filled in the United States and screened by an independent, accredited laboratory for identity, purity, and contaminants, with analysis by HPLC and, where appropriate, mass spectrometry. Products are manufactured to a 99%+ purity standard where stated, and an endotoxin-tested option is available for many compounds.
That lab report is the certificate of analysis. Match the batch code printed on your vial to the row in our COA library and you're reading the exact report for the exact vial in your hand. Every order includes a free downloadable COA, damage protection in transit, and full US tracking. Orders placed Monday–Friday ship by 2pm CT, free over $100.
