IGF-1 LR3 from IGF-1 Research is a 83-residue IGF-1 analog designed for activity at the IGF-1 receptor (IGF1R), supplied as a lyophilized powder in 1 mg vials. Every lot is independently tested, and its results are published as a lot record with the certificate PDF.

Specifications and current testing status in one place.
Researchers searching for IGF-1 usually want IGF-1 LR3, and the difference matters. Native IGF-1 has 70 residues and is quickly captured by IGF-binding proteins in culture media; IGF-1 LR3 adds a 13-residue N-terminal extension and swaps glutamate for arginine at position 3, which together sharply reduce that binding. It has 83 residues, three disulfide bonds and an average molecular weight of 9111.55 g/mol.
IGF-1 Research lists IGF-1 LR3 in 1 mg vials at $69.99 through Klow.bio. The current lot, KB-17790, was tested by ILS Laboratories at 99.69% HPLC purity with identity confirmed against a reference standard and 1.04 mg measured.
The molecule contains six cysteines that form three intramolecular disulfide bonds, as in native IGF-1, so its folded structure matters as much as its sequence. The formula and molecular weight shown assume all three disulfides are formed. At about 9.1 kDa it is the largest product in this range.
complete IGF-1 LR3 specifications.
Store sealed, dry and protected from light at the temperature stated on the vial label. Allow a cold vial to reach room temperature before opening. Lyophilized material absorbs moisture from the air, and absorbed moisture restarts the reactions that drying slows, so keep vials sealed until needed. Storage and stability guide.

Ordering and shipping. IGF-1 LR3 is sold through klow.bio, operated by Klow Labs LLC. Orders ship the next business day. Same-day cutoff is 4:00 PM CT, with overnight and 2-day options at checkout. See shipping and returns.
All testing is performed by ILS Laboratories, an independent laboratory, on every lot.
Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography separates the sample's components by hydrophobicity, and a UV detector records each as a peak. Purity is the main peak's area as a percentage of all detected peak area.
Limits: does not identify the peak, and impurities that co-elute or absorb weakly in UV can be under-counted. More on HPLC
The laboratory runs the sample and a reference standard of IGF-1 LR3 under the same chromatographic conditions. Identity is reported as confirmed when the sample’s main peak elutes at the reference standard’s retention time.
Limits: a retention-time match is consistent with the named compound but is not a mass or structure measurement; compounds with similar retention can co-elute. More on HPLC
The laboratory screens each lot by immunoassay at the cutoff printed on the certificate. Current lots are reported as not detected.
Limits: a negative result means below the cutoff for the sample tested; an immunoassay screens for its target only.
The laboratory quantifies the main compound in the tested vial against a standard. It is reported in milligrams next to the labeled vial size.
Limits: measured on the vial tested; other vials from the same lot are expected to be similar but are not individually measured.
