TB-500 handling guide

TB-500's numbers in one place: mass, its relationship to thymosin beta-4, vial size, concentration table and what its report should show.

Published September 4, 2026

TB-500 is the synthetic form of thymosin beta-4's active region, and at nearly 5,000 g/mol it is one of the heaviest peptides we sell.

The single sulfur in the formula is worth noting; it is one more thing an elemental or mass check can confirm.

TB-500 (TB4) vial sizes we sell, at four diluent volumes. Molarity uses 4963.44 g/mol. Other volumes

A 5 mg vial is about 1.007 micromoles. That is the lowest molar content per milligram of anything in the catalog apart from the recombinant proteins. If your protocol is written in molar units and you have been working with a small peptide, the numbers here will look unfamiliar. The TB-500 calculator has the weight preset.

Handling

Bacteriostatic water down the inside of the glass, swirl gently, never shake. Freezer for the dry powder long term, fridge short term; once reconstituted, fridge only, and aliquot rather than refreeze. The reconstitution guide is one page.

Reading its report

Observed mass near 4963.44, purity at 99% or higher by HPLC, matching batch number and a named lab. Scan the QR on the vial or look the batch up.

The fragment and the blends

Residues 17 to 23 carry the actin-binding activity and we sell them separately. TB-500 vs TB-500 fragment 17-23 explains what you gain and lose by isolating them, and why a milligram of the fragment is seven times the molecules.

TB-500 also appears in three blends: with BPC-157, in GLOW and in KLOW. BPC-157 vs TB-500 covers why those two are paired so often.

Every TB-500 vial from pepuro ships free, from Calgary, the same business day your e-Transfer clears, with a QR code on the vial that opens its Janoshik Analytical report.

Frequently asked questions

What is the molecular weight of TB-500?+

4963.44 g/mol, formula C212H350N56O78S. It is one of the largest peptides in the catalog outside the recombinant proteins.

Is TB-500 the same as thymosin beta-4?+

TB-500 is the synthetic version of the active region of thymosin beta-4, supplied as the acetylated peptide. Thymosin beta-4 itself is a 43-residue natural peptide.

How much water do I add to a 5 mg TB-500 vial?+

1 mL gives 5 mg/mL, 2 mL gives 2.5 mg/mL, 5 mL gives 1 mg/mL. At 4,963 g/mol a 5 mg vial is only about 1 micromole.

What is the fragment version?+

Residues 17 to 23, the actin-binding stretch, sold separately at 729.83 g/mol. It is about a seventh the mass of the full peptide.
