ARA-290 with PBS

[MyB]

I first tried ARA from EZP and had zero issues with it. Bought a kit from Nexaph a few months ago and two of the three bottles later gelled and clumped a few days later when Hospira Bac Water was used.
Has anyone tried using PBS with success?

This article mentions using PBS for recon https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4818260/#:~:text=The nonhematopoietic erythropoietin analogue ARA290,for up to 4 wks.

Yes, I use 1 ml pbs, let it dissolve then add .5ml to 1 ml of hospira, no gelling issues, that’s for 16mg vial

My wife’s rat is researching ARA right now. I was barely able to dissolve 3 vials into one pen cartridge with 3ml Hospira. It looked like it was going to gel but hasn’t so far.

What's the research purpose for this peptide? I'm my brief reading it looks like someone is using it with decent results for sciatica.

@gym.rat nerve pain and inflammation, documentation says vascular as well. It works better than KPV in my research experience.

I used it to research neuropathy in legs and feet. It unexpectedly addressed Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome in my Rat also.

In case this helps anyone and you want to try this vendor out. I've never ordered from them.

If you need to add aa or PBS to ara its a bad batch and you should not research with it.

Unfortunately ive been seeing more and more issues with resellers saying you need AA for compounds that never need it. Bathtub labs i think.

@Randy You've been around awhile. Do you have a positive opinion on Peptide Supply Co?

[Randy]

@myb red cap ara? or are they onto a new batch?

[MyB]

@randy yeah it’s the red cap batch from 2025. Was it a bad batch? Should I consider the remaining 7 a loss and source new?

[WisGal64]

I tried bac only on Friday, so far no gelling, but it usually happens on the last couple of doses for me. Keeping my fingers crossed

@MyB Ive gone through 5 kits of it with no issue. Was your hospira from a questionable source?
