What TB-500 is

It is listed here as a laboratory reference material for in-vitro research only and is not offered for human or veterinary use. Regulatory status is not determined by a research-use label; see the compliance page for official TGA guidance.

What the published research investigates

The thymosin beta-4 and TB-500 literature is largely preclinical: cell-culture and animal-model studies examining actin sequestration, cell migration, angiogenesis-related signalling, and models of dermal, corneal and cardiac tissue repair.

Human clinical evidence for the synthetic fragment specifically is limited, and we make no claims about effects in humans. The primary sources are linked at the bottom of this page so you can assess methodology and endpoints yourself.

TB-500 vs BPC-157 in the literature

TB-500 and BPC-157 are frequently discussed together in tissue-repair research, but they are structurally unrelated and are studied through different mechanisms — TB-500 work centres on actin binding and cell migration, while BPC-157 work centres on angiogenesis-related and gastrointestinal signalling pathways.

How to read a TB-500 batch report

A batch report, where published, states purity as a percentage of total peak area from reverse-phase HPLC, alongside a mass-spec identity result confirming the molecular mass of the fragment — purity alone tells you the vial is one thing consistently, only mass spec tells you it is the right thing.

A legitimate batch report names the compound, states the lot number, dates the analysis, shows the chromatogram rather than only a summary figure, and is signed by the testing party. A single-line PDF claiming '99% purity' with no lot, no date and no trace is a marketing document, not an analytical one.

Ask any Australian supplier for the chromatogram, not the claim. If a lot number cannot be matched to a dated report, treat any purity figure as unverified regardless of what the label says.

What to check before you order

Before ordering: run the lot number you are quoted through our verify page and, where a report has been published for that exact lot, read it. Check the compound name, the analysis date and that the purity figure on the report matches the figure on the listing.

Buying TB-500 in Australia

TB-500 is listed as 5mg and 10mg vials; each product page shows current availability and the price including GST.

Orders are sent by tracked Australia Post express. Rates and the free-shipping threshold are on the shipping policy page; delivery times are carrier estimates, not guarantees.

Storage & handling in the lab

Aussie Peptides does not publish product- or lot-specific preparation, storage or stability data. Base preparation, storage and disposal on the supplier safety data sheet (SDS) and your institution's standard operating procedures.

Where a vial label shows a lot number and a batch report has been published for that lot, it can be looked up on the verify page and recorded alongside your experimental data.

Legal status in Australia

Materials on this site are supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. They are not offered for human or veterinary use. A research-use label does not by itself determine regulatory status; see the compliance page for official TGA guidance.

Purchasers must be 18 or over and are responsible for handling, storing and disposing of research materials in line with their institution's requirements and applicable Australian law.

Nothing on this page is medical advice, a dosing protocol, or a claim of therapeutic benefit. It summarises what the published research literature investigates.

Common questions

Is TB-500 legal to buy in Australia?

This material is listed for in-vitro laboratory research only and is not offered for human or veterinary use. A research-use label does not by itself determine regulatory status; see our compliance page for the official TGA guidance. Purchasers must be 18 or over.

Is a batch report available for TB-500?

Where a batch report has been published for a given lot, it can be looked up by lot number on the verify page.

What is the difference between TB-500 and thymosin beta-4?

Thymosin beta-4 is the full 43-amino-acid protein found naturally in cells. TB-500 is a shorter synthetic peptide based on its actin-binding region, which is why it is easier to synthesise and handle in the laboratory.

Can TB-500 and BPC-157 be studied together?

They appear together in comparative preclinical tissue-repair literature. If you are running comparative in-vitro work, record the lot number of both vials so differences are attributable to the compound rather than batch variation.

How do I check the batch report for my vial?

Enter your lot number on our verify page — where a batch report has been published for that lot, it shows the chromatogram, purity percentage and identity confirmation for that specific batch.
