AICAR Purity – HPLC Testing & Research Product Verification

Researchers searching for AICAR purity before purchasing a research compound should evaluate the analytical information associated with the product rather than relying only on the labeled quantity or price.

Current AICAR 50mg research product:

https://peptideslabus.com/products/peptides-lab-aicar

The current product listing identifies AICAR 50mg in lyophilized-powder form and lists a source-reported purity specification of:

>99% purity (HPLC verified)

Researchers should evaluate this specification alongside available product and batch documentation.

What Does AICAR Purity Mean?

Purity is an analytical characteristic of the tested material.

It should be distinguished from the amount of material supplied.

For the current product:

50mg = labeled quantity

>99% = source-listed purity specification

These numbers answer different questions and should not be used interchangeably.

How Is AICAR Purity Listed?

The current product page identifies the purity specification as:

>99% (HPLC verified)

HPLC stands for:

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

HPLC is an analytical separation technique commonly used to evaluate the chromatographic composition of chemical and biochemical samples.

Does 50mg Mean 50mg of Purity?

No.

The 50mg designation describes the labeled amount of research material.

Purity is expressed separately as an analytical percentage.

Researchers should therefore distinguish:

Quantity → mg

Purity → analytical percentage

Molecular weight → g/mol

Price → commercial cost

Current AICAR Specifications

The product listing identifies:

Compound: AICAR

Quantity: 50mg

Form: Lyophilized powder

CAS Number: 2627-69-2

Molecular Formula: C₉H₁₄N₄O₅

Molecular Weight: 258.23 g/mol

Source-listed purity: >99% (HPLC verified)

These specifications provide several independent ways to characterize the research product.

Purity vs Compound Identity

Purity and identity are related but different analytical questions.

A purity-related result describes the composition of a tested sample according to the applicable analytical method.

Identity-related testing addresses whether analytical evidence supports the expected compound.

Researchers should evaluate what the available documentation actually establishes.

Purity vs Price

The current product is listed at:

$52.94

Price does not establish purity.

Researchers should not assume:

higher price = higher purity

or:

lower price = lower purity

Analytical claims require analytical evidence.

Review Batch Information

When batch documentation is available, researchers should determine whether the analytical information corresponds to the material being purchased.

A useful verification structure is:

Product → batch/lot → tested sample → analytical method → reported result

Does HPLC Establish Every Product Characteristic?

No.

An HPLC result should be interpreted according to the analysis performed and information actually reported.

Researchers should avoid extending one analytical result beyond what the underlying documentation supports.
