Synthetic generic peptide substrate for Thrombin (Factor IIa). Used in research and quality control labs for Thrombin activity and inhibition assays (Anti-IIa tests).

​

Each vial of VTS-25 contains 25 mg of IIa Substrate co-lyophilized with 120 mg of mannitol bulking agent. Sealed glass container has a 20 ml capacity for reconstitution.

​

Peptide sequence: H-D-Phe-Pip-Arg-pNA • 2HCl
Molecular weight: 625.6 Da
Purity: > 95% by HPLC
Free pNA: <0.5%
Solubility: Up to 10 mM (typical solution 1-2 mM)

​

Product should be stored refrigerated (2-8°C) and is stable until expiry in the unopened state. Stable 3 months at 2-8°C once reconstituted. Shipment of unopened product does not require refrigeration.

​

The chromogenic peptide is cleaved by Thrombin to release free pNA, which is then measured photometrically at 405 nm. Used by researchers for Thrombin activity tests, the IIa Substrate in VTS-25 is also specified for the pharmacopeial Anti-IIa assay of heparin and LMW-heparin.
