Overview
Selank + Semax Dissolving Strips deliver two well-characterised research heptapeptides in a pre-measured thin-film matrix rather than a vial of lyophilized powder. Each pack contains 20 individual film strips. The film is a water-soluble polymer sheet in which the peptide load is dispersed at a fixed amount per strip, so a study arm can be set up by counting strips instead of weighing powder, calculating a dilution and sterile-filtering a solution.
The two actives are Selank (CAS 129954-34-3, Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) and Semax (CAS 80714-61-0, Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro). Both are short synthetic peptides built by extending a natural bioactive fragment — tuftsin for Selank, the ACTH(4–10) fragment for Semax — with a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro tail that resists exopeptidase cleavage. Both are freely water-soluble, which is what makes them suitable candidates for a dissolving-film carrier: the strip disperses in aqueous media and releases its load without an organic solvent step.
Research interest in the pairing comes from their complementary mechanistic literatures. Semax dominates work on BDNF and NGF expression, TrkB signalling and attention or memory paradigms; Selank dominates work on GABA-A receptor subunit expression, enkephalin-degrading enzyme inhibition and stress-response gene expression. The film format is studied mainly as a handling and format-comparison variable rather than for any biological property of its own. Supplied for laboratory research use only.

Questions about Selank + Semax Dissolving Strips
How many strips are in a pack?
Twenty individual thin-film strips, each carrying a fixed pre-measured load of both Selank and Semax. Because the amount per strip is set at manufacture, study arms can be assembled by counting strips rather than weighing powder and calculating a dilution.
Are the peptides third-party tested, and is a COA available?
Yes. Both Selank and Semax raw materials are third-party analysed by HPLC to ≥99% purity with mass-spectrometry identity confirmation, and a lot-matched Certificate of Analysis is available for the batch. Match the pack lot to the COA before logging data.
Do the strips need reconstitution?
No. That is the point of the format. The film dissolves directly in aqueous media, so there is no weighing, solvent addition, mixing or filtration step and no bacteriostatic water to source. It also means the sealed pack needs no cold chain.
How should the strips be stored?
Sealed, cool and dry, protected from light and moisture. Humidity is the main enemy of a thin-film matrix — exposed strips become tacky and lose their handling properties. Remove one at a time with dry gloves or forceps and reseal the pack immediately.
Why are Selank and Semax combined?
Their research literatures are complementary — Semax is associated with BDNF, neurotrophin and attention work, Selank with GABAergic and stress-response work — while both are small, water-soluble Pro-Gly-Pro-stabilised heptapeptides that load into a film matrix well.
