- The following table compares the two notations across criteria that actually affect research outcomes—not superficial formatting differences, but the underlying molecular and procedural factors that determine whether a peptide performs reliably in your protocol.
- Amino Acid Sequence
- Identical if from same synthesis batch
- Sequence identity is verified by CoA, not catalog notation—formatting variance doesn't alter molecular structure
- Purity Specification (HPLC)
- Typically ≥95% if research-grade
- Both notations can reference batches at any purity grade—verify CoA rather than assuming notation correlates with purity
- Molecular Weight
- Determined by sequence, not notation
- Molecular weight calculated from sequence should match exactly if peptides are identical—1 Dalton difference indicates variant
- Storage Stability
- Depends on lyophilization quality and packaging
- Neither notation predicts storage stability—lyophilized peptides stored at −20°C with desiccant maintain purity for 2+ years
- Supplier Quality Systems
- Varies by manufacturer, not SKU format
- ISO/GMP certification status matters; catalog notation format does not—evaluate supplier practices independently
- Price Per Milligram
- Set by supplier's pricing model, not notation
- Identical peptides under different notations may have different prices if listed separately—verify equivalence to avoid overpaying
