What ARA-290 is

ARA-290 (cibinetide) is a synthetic 11-amino-acid peptide derived from the B-helix of erythropoietin (EPO). Unlike EPO it does not stimulate red-blood-cell production; in the literature it is described as selectively engaging the innate repair receptor (an EPO-receptor / beta-common-receptor complex) studied in tissue-protection and repair models. It is an investigational research chemical, not an approved medicine, and is sold for laboratory research use only.

Frequently asked

How much does ARA-290 cost?
About $45–$140 per vial, depending on vial size. Compare the same size across vendors.
Why do ARA-290 prices vary so much?
Vial sizes differ, so always compare the same vial size across vendors. Batch testing, stock, and pack discounts move the true cost too — see what "Verified" means.
How are ARA-290 vendors verified?
A vendor earns a Verified badge only after independent batch testing (HPLC purity + mass-spec identity) checks out against its COA. Verification is never for sale.
