Ask sales for the Certificate of Analysis matched to the offered or supplied lot; it records the tests actually completed, applicable specifications, and reported results.
Review the matching batch COA for the analytical scope and results recorded for that lot.

Short-fragment presentation of TB-500 (Thymosin β4)
Overview
TB-500 Fragment is catalogued as the short-fragment presentation of TB-500, the synthetic peptide derived from Thymosin beta-4. Where the standalone TB-500 SKU is the full 43-residue chain, this SKU is the abbreviated fragment preparation built around the actin-binding region of the parent molecule, the segment carrying the LKKTETQ motif that the Thymosin beta-4 literature identifies as the core of actin sequestration. Because fragment nomenclature is not standardised across suppliers and the same trade name is used for more than one set of residue boundaries, Vialdyne does not publish a fixed sequence, molecular formula, or CAS for this SKU. The fragment boundaries, measured mass, and identity for the material you are quoted are listed on batch COA, and that document, not a catalogue descriptor, is the record a receiving quality system should qualify against. Vialdyne releases TB-500 Fragment as a lyophilised powder against a ≥99.0% main-peak HPLC specification, in 5 mg and 10 mg fills. Two documentation points matter more here than on a full-length SKU. First, positive identity: ask for the ESI-MS result and the stated fragment boundaries on the offered lot before the material enters a qualification file, since a shorter chain is materially cheaper to synthesise than the 43-mer and mass alone is the only thing that separates the two presentations on paper. Second, do not carry a TB-500 acceptance record across to this SKU; the two are catalogued and released as separate materials, with their own lot numbers and their own certificates. Buyers who want the full-length chain should order the [TB-500](/catalog/tb-500) SKU, and the co-lyophilised BPC-157 pairing remains the [Wolverine Blend](/catalog/wolverine-blend), which is built on full-length TB-500 rather than on this fragment.
Applications & buyer fit
Repair peptides, BPC-157, TB-500, and related sequences, typically ship to research labs studying tissue-repair, gastrointestinal, or tendon-ligament models, and to compounding pharmacies that have validated the active material into their workflow. Buyers should request the batch COA for the lot offered or shipped and define any sequence-level evidence required by their written qualification procedure before quotation; Vialdyne does not require buyers to repeat the lot-release tests recorded on the COA.

Frequently asked questions
Chain length is the whole difference. TB-500 is the full 43-residue synthetic peptide corresponding to the mature acetylated form of Thymosin beta-4. TB-500 Fragment is the abbreviated presentation built around the actin-binding region of that same parent molecule rather than the complete chain. They are catalogued, priced, and released as two separate materials with separate lot numbers, so a qualification record for one does not transfer to the other. If a protocol or a prior purchase order specifies the 43-mer, order the TB-500 SKU; the fragment is a distinct line item and its certificate will say so.
Because fragment naming in this corner of the market is genuinely inconsistent: the same trade name is applied by different suppliers to different residue boundaries, and publishing one interpretation as a catalogue fact would create a specification that the delivered lot may not match. The honest position is to leave identity to the document that is lot-specific. The fragment boundaries, the ESI-MS result, and the appearance and purity results for the offered lot are listed on batch COA. Request that certificate at the quotation stage and qualify against it, rather than against a catalogue descriptor, and record the exact boundaries stated there in your own incoming-inspection file.
Three things, in order. Positive identity first: the ESI-MS result on the offered lot together with the stated fragment boundaries, since mass is what distinguishes this presentation from the full-length chain and from any adjacent fragment. Then the release packet: RP-HPLC peak integration against the ≥99.0% main-peak specification, water content, counter-ion, and appearance. Then, only if the material is routed to sterile or in vivo work, the add-on tests on the same lot, LAL endotoxin per USP <85> and microbial limits per USP <61>/<62>, which are agreed in writing before quotation rather than assumed. LC-MS/MS sequence verification is available as a documented add-on and is worth the turnaround on a first lot from any new fragment source.
