01 / A CLOSER LOOK

What is IGF-1 LR3?

IGF-1 LR3 is an 83-amino-acid analog of human insulin-like growth factor 1. It has an arginine in place of glutamic acid at position 3 and a 13-amino-acid extension at the N-terminus. Those changes greatly reduce binding to IGF-binding proteins, so in cell-culture and research models it stays active far longer than native IGF-1.

It is widely used as a cell-culture supplement in bioprocessing research. This listing supplies IGF-1 LR3 in 0.1 mg and 1 mg vials; a 2 mg liquid spray is also listed.

How IGF-1 LR3 is studied

Published research on IGF-1 LR3 falls into a few main areas:

  • Cell culture: a long-lasting growth-factor supplement in bioprocessing and cell-growth research.
  • IGF-binding protein research: how reduced binding changes activity compared with native IGF-1.
  • Tissue and organ growth in animal models.

Buy IGF-1 LR3: 0.1 mg and 1 mg vials

Refresh Research sells IGF-1 LR3 as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in a sealed glass vial. Choose your strength from the selector at the top of this page.

  • IGF-1 LR3 0.1 mg: a small quantity for cell-culture work and method checks.
  • IGF-1 LR3 1 mg: ten times the material from one lot.
  • IGF-1 LR3 is also available as a liquid spray.
  • Ships as a dry powder from the USA. Store unopened vials at −20 °C once received; bacteriostatic water for reconstitution is sold separately.
  • Volume savings apply automatically when you order two or three vials.

Identity qualification
Reference molecular weight is approximate. The existing label states 9117.6 g/mol; supplier sequence/form confirmation is required to reconcile that difference. Do not treat either value as batch identity verification.

Keep unopened dry material at −20 °C for long-term storage, protected from light and moisture, unless the supplied label specifies otherwise. After preparing a solution, follow the lot-specific instructions and your validated laboratory protocol.

04 / GOOD TO KNOW

IGF-1 LR3 FAQ

For help with this product, email [email protected].

What is the labeled quantity for this product?

0.1 mg or 1 mg per vial. The milligram value describes the labeled contents of one vial, not directions for use. Where several strengths are offered, select the one you need before adding it to your bag.

What does “LR3” mean?

“L” is the long N-terminal extension and “R3” is the arginine substitution at position 3. Together they reduce binding to IGF-binding proteins.

What is used to reconstitute a lyophilized vial?

Lyophilized material is supplied as a dry powder. Bacteriostatic water is available separately in our vial collection; follow your laboratory’s established procedures for reconstitution, storage and handling.

Is this product for human use?

No. All Refresh Research products are sold for laboratory research only. They are not for human or animal use and are not intended for therapeutic or diagnostic applications.
