Preparation
- Draw 1mL of bacteriostatic water using sterile equipment.
- Let the liquid run slowly down the inside wall of the vial.
- Gently swirl until dissolved. Do not shake.
- Label with the preparation date and refrigerate.
Check the calculation with the peptide calculator.
2. Commonly Documented Schedule

5. Research Context
TB-500 is associated with thymosin beta-4 research involving cell migration, wound models, and tissue repair. Commercial TB-500 material should not be assumed identical to full-length thymosin beta-4 used in published studies.
TB-500 is not an approved therapeutic drug. No clinically validated dosing schedule has been established.
