Semax UK — buying guide
What to check before you buy Semax in the UK: the ACTH(4-10)-derived neuropeptide, verified per batch against its expected mass.
What is Semax?
Semax is a synthetic peptide derived from the ACTH(4-10) fragment, developed by researchers in Russia. It has CAS number 80714-61-0 and a molecular weight of 813.94. Structurally it is a short heptapeptide that lacks the hormonal activity of the parent ACTH sequence while retaining a fragment of interest to neuroscience research.
In the laboratory Semax is investigated in neuropharmacology and neuroprotection research, often examined alongside Selank, another Russian-developed research neuropeptide. Sova supplies it strictly as a characterised reference material — not for human or veterinary use, and with no claim of any effect in people.
Before you buy
How to verify Semax before you buy
Semax and Selank are often confused or substituted, so identity confirmation is the thing to check first — a mass-spec result tied to the batch is how you know which peptide you actually have.
Every Sova Semax vial ships with a batch-linked Certificate of Analysis. Before you buy, confirm the CoA references the batch on the vial, that identity is confirmed by ESI mass spectrometry against the expected 813.94 Da, and that purity is measured by reverse-phase HPLC. Enter the batch at /verify to pull the certificate.
Why buy Semax from Sova
- ✓HPLC (purity) + ESI mass spectrometry (identity) on every batch — no exceptions.
- ✓A batch-linked Certificate of Analysis you can verify from the code on the vial.
- ✓UK stock, same-day dispatch before 3pm, cold-chain packaged and tracked.
- ✓Supplied strictly for laboratory research use only.

Semax — frequently asked
Is Semax legal to buy in the UK?
Semax is supplied in the UK as a research chemical for laboratory research use only. It is not an authorised medicine and is not sold for human or veterinary use, and can be purchased by researchers aged 18 or over on that basis.
How is Sova's Semax verified?
Each batch is analysed by reverse-phase HPLC for purity and by ESI mass spectrometry to confirm the molecular weight against the expected 813.94 Da. A batch-linked Certificate of Analysis accompanies every vial and can be checked at /verify.
What is Semax studied for?
Semax is investigated in neuropharmacology and neuroprotection research, including its association with BDNF expression and neuropeptide signalling. Studies use animal and cell-based models, and their findings are confined to laboratory settings.
What is the difference between Semax and Selank?
Both are short Russian-developed research neuropeptides often studied together, but they derive from different parent molecules — Semax from the ACTH(4-10) fragment and Selank from the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin — and are examined along distinct pathways.
