Research Overview

Snap-8 is acetyl octapeptide-3, an eight-residue elongation of the Argireline sequence modelled on the N-terminal end of SNAP-25. Cosmetic-science research has examined its competition with SNAP-25 for assembly of the SNARE complex and the resulting effects on vesicle-docking signalling in in-vitro and ex-vivo skin models.

Quality & Testing

Every Snap-8 batch is independently verified by an accredited third-party laboratory using HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) and mass spectrometry to confirm both purity and molecular identity. Every order number is tracked internally against the supply-chain testing for the batches it shipped from — we don’t publish batch documents, which are routinely copied by other vendors. For testing information relating to your order, contact us with your order number.

Handling & Storage

Snap-8 is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Store at -20°C and protect from light and moisture prior to reconstitution. For laboratory reconstitution volume and concentration calculations, see our Reconstitution Calculator.

Research Use Only. Snap-8 is sold exclusively for in-vitro laboratory and scientific research. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, is not a drug, food, or cosmetic, and has not been evaluated by Health Canada or the FDA.
