Ara-290 Single Vial
Healing / Recovery · single vial · no minimum order
Ara-290 is available as an individual vial shipped from our UK facility, so a laboratory can take one vial rather than a wholesale box. Every single vial is the same material as the factory-direct range, held in the UK for tracked next-working-day delivery, and supplied strictly for laboratory research.

About Ara-290
ARA-290, also known as cibinetide or innate repair receptor agonist, is a neuroprotection research peptide that has garnered significant attention in laboratory studies for its unique mechanism of action. This compound selectively binds to the innate repair receptor (IRR), which is a heterodimer composed of the EPO receptor and beta common receptor (CD131). What distinguishes ARA-290 from erythropoietin (EPO) is its selective receptor binding profile. Whilst EPO activates the classical homodimeric EPO receptor responsible for erythropoiesis, ARA-290 specifically targets the IRR without stimulating red blood cell production. This selective activation makes it particularly valuable for neuroprotection research models. In research studies, IRR activation by ARA-290 triggers multiple beneficial pathways including anti-inflammatory responses through IL-10 upregulation and NF-kB suppression, anti-apoptotic mechanisms, and tissue repair processes. These effects have been observed across various cell types including neurons, endothelial cells, and immune cells in laboratory investigations. Phase 2 clinical trials have examined ARA-290 for sarcoidosis-related neuropathy, demonstrating improvements in corneal nerve fibre density and neuropathic pain parameters. Research has also explored its potential in diabetic neuropathy models, with studies indicating its effectiveness in treating small fibre neuropathy conditions. ARA-290 represents one of the more clinically advanced research peptides in the neuroprotection field, with evidence grade B supporting its research applications. Laboratory studies continue to investigate its tissue repair properties across multiple organ systems, making it a compound of considerable interest for researchers studying neuroprotective mechanisms and innate repair pathways.
Mechanism
ARA-290 selectively binds to the innate repair receptor (IRR), a heterodimer of EPO receptor and beta common receptor (CD131). Unlike EPO, it does not activate the classical homodimeric EPO receptor responsible for erythropoiesis. IRR activation triggers anti-inflammatory (IL-10 upregulation, NF-kB suppression), anti-apoptotic, and tissue repair pathways in neurons, endothelium, and immune cells.
Reported research findings
- Activates innate repair receptor
- Neuroprotective without erythropoiesis
- Anti-inflammatory via IL-10 upregulation
- Tissue repair in multiple organs
- Treats small fiber neuropathy
Why a single vial
Pilot and method work
A single vial covers assay development, method validation or a short pilot run without committing to a wholesale quantity of Ara-290.
UK held, fast turnaround
Vials ship from our UK facility on a tracked service, so a study is not waiting on an international consignment or a customs queue.
Same material as the box
Single vials are drawn from the same vetted manufacturing source as the factory-direct range, with the same batch documentation.
Predictable spend
Small laboratories and independent researchers can budget one vial at a time rather than a full minimum order quantity.
Storage and handling
Before reconstitution
Store the sealed lyophilised vial at 2 to 8°C, protected from light and moisture. Longer term storage at minus 20°C is common laboratory practice.
After reconstitution
Reconstituted solution is held refrigerated at 2 to 8°C and used within the window appropriate to the compound. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
Reconstitution
Bacteriostatic water is the usual diluent. Our reconstitution calculator works out the diluent volume for a given target concentration.
Documentation
Every vial carries a batch number for traceable laboratory records, and independent verification is encouraged.
See the reconstitution guide and the calculator.
FAQs
Can I order a single vial of Ara-290 without a minimum order?+
Yes. The single-vial range exists precisely so a laboratory can take one vial of Ara-290 rather than a full wholesale box. There is no minimum order quantity on this format.
How quickly does a Ara-290 single vial ship in the UK?+
Single vials are held in our UK facility and dispatched within 24 hours of a cleared payment on working days, on a tracked UK service. Orders placed at the weekend go out on the next working day.
How does the single vial differ from the factory-direct box?+
The compound and the manufacturing source are the same. The factory-direct box is a wholesale multi-vial pack with a minimum order quantity and a lower per-vial cost, while the single vial is one vial from UK stock for small-scale or pilot work.
What purity is stated for Ara-290?+
99%+ manufacturer-stated purity. Buyers are encouraged to run independent third-party verification, and our testing directory lists laboratories that perform it.
Is this Ara-290 vial for human use?+
No. Every PeptX product, including the single-vial range, is supplied strictly for laboratory research. It is not for human consumption, diagnosis, treatment or any clinical use.
What is ARA-290?+
ARA-290 (cibinetide) is a neuroprotection research peptide that selectively activates innate repair receptors. It binds specifically to the IRR (innate repair receptor) without affecting classical EPO receptors, making it valuable for studying neuroprotective mechanisms in research models.
How does ARA-290 work?+
ARA-290 works by selectively binding to the innate repair receptor (IRR), a heterodimer of EPO receptor and beta common receptor (CD131). This activation triggers anti-inflammatory pathways via IL-10 upregulation and NF-kB suppression, along with anti-apoptotic and tissue repair mechanisms in research studies.
What is the half-life of ARA-290?+
Specific half-life data for ARA-290 is not currently available in the research literature. Researchers should consult current studies and establish appropriate dosing intervals based on their specific experimental protocols and research objectives.
How is ARA-290 stored?+
Storage requirements for ARA-290 should follow standard peptide storage protocols. Researchers should store the compound according to manufacturer specifications and institutional guidelines, typically under controlled temperature conditions to maintain stability and integrity for laboratory use.
