Description
Description
HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a synthetically purified, highly stable heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone composed of 237 amino acids organized into distinct alpha (\(\alpha \)) and beta (\(\beta \)) structural subunits. Functioning as a high-affinity analog to endogenous Luteinizing Hormone (LH), this specialized biochemical targets and activates the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) pathway, serving as a primary reagent for evaluating downstream steroidogenesis, reproductive endocrinology, and cellular signaling networks in in vitro and in vivo research models.
Our HCG reagent undergoes precise isolation, automated purification, and low-temperature lyophilization protocols to yield a pristine white crystalline powder cake engineered for maximum structural integrity, swift dissolution rates, and baseline consistency during high-throughput analytical assays.

Reconstitution & Laboratory Storage
-
- Lyophilized Storage: To preserve the delicate conformation of the dimeric protein subunits and prevent natural degradation, store the dry powder cake continuously frozen at or below -20°C prior to evaluation. Stable under properly desiccated conditions for up to 24 months from the manufacturing date.
- Reconstitution Guidelines: Allow the glass vial to naturally acclimatize to room temperature before introducing an appropriate laboratory solvent, such as sterile Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% Benzyl Alcohol). Gently swirl the container until the white powder dissolves completely. Do not shake or agitate aggressively, as heavy kinetic friction can alter the secondary protein folding or shear the carbohydrate chains of the glycoprotein.
- Post-Reconstitution Storage: Once liquid solution has been introduced, store continuously refrigerated between 2°C and 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Protect entirely from prolonged exposure to direct light or ambient UV radiation. Utilize within 30 days of fluid integration.
