Glutathione Single Vial
Oxidative Stress Research · single vial · no minimum order
Glutathione
Glutathione 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 Glutathione
Glutathione, also known as GSH, L-glutathione, or gamma-glutamylcysteinylglycine, is a tripeptide antioxidant compound extensively studied in laboratory research settings. This naturally occurring molecule has garnered significant attention in scientific research for its multifaceted cellular protection mechanisms. In research models, glutathione demonstrates its primary function as a powerful antioxidant by neutralising free radicals and reactive oxygen species, thereby protecting cells from oxidative stress damage. Studies indicate that this compound plays a crucial role in oxidative-stress pathway processes by conjugating with toxins to enhance their water solubility, facilitating their excretion from cellular systems. Research has shown that glutathione is involved in regenerating other antioxidants, including vitamin C and vitamin E, creating a synergistic antioxidant network within cellular environments. Additionally, studies indicate that GSH supports immune system function by maintaining the redox state of cells, which is essential for optimal immune cell performance. Laboratory investigations have documented glutathione's ability to reduce oxidative stress markers and enhance oxidative-stress pathway processes in research models. Studies also suggest potential benefits for skin brightness and clarity, along with possible anti-inflammatory effects. The evidence grade for glutathione research is classified as B, with several controlled trials investigating its effects on oxidative stress reduction and skin health parameters. Whilst research has shown promising results in reducing oxidative stress and improving certain cellular functions, the evidence regarding immune support and oxidative-stress pathway efficacy remains mixed, with some studies showing limited effects. Current research indicates that larger-scale, controlled trials are needed to further confirm and quantify these observed benefits in laboratory settings.
Mechanism
Glutathione acts as a powerful antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals and reactive oxygen species, thereby protecting cells from oxidative stress. It also plays a crucial role in oxidative-stress pathway processes by conjugating with toxins to make them more water-soluble for excretion. Additionally, glutathione is involved in regenerating other antioxidants like vitamin C and E, and supports immune function by maintaining the redox state of cells.
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 Glutathione.
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.
Diluent
Bacteriostatic water is the usual laboratory diluent. The volume added sets the resulting concentration in mg per mL.
Documentation
Vials carry a batch number for your laboratory records. Recent independent lab results are published in our COA Library.
FAQs
Can I order a single vial of Glutathione without a minimum order?+
Yes. The single-vial range exists precisely so a laboratory can take one vial of Glutathione rather than a full wholesale box. There is no minimum order quantity on this format.
How quickly does a Glutathione 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 Glutathione?+
99%+ manufacturer-stated purity. Buyers are encouraged to run independent third-party verification, and our testing directory lists laboratories that perform it.
Is this Glutathione 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 glutathione?+
Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide antioxidant compound used in laboratory research. Also known as L-glutathione or gamma-glutamylcysteinylglycine, it functions as a powerful cellular antioxidant that neutralises free radicals and supports oxidative-stress pathway processes in research models.
How does glutathione work?+
In research models, glutathione acts as an antioxidant by neutralising free radicals and reactive oxygen species, protecting cells from oxidative stress. It also facilitates oxidative-stress pathway by conjugating with toxins to make them more water-soluble for excretion, and helps regenerate other antioxidants like vitamins C and E.
What is the half-life of glutathione?+
The half-life data for glutathione is not specified in current research documentation. Researchers should consult relevant literature for specific pharmacokinetic parameters relevant to their experimental models and conditions.
How is glutathione stored?+
Specific storage requirements for glutathione are not detailed in current research data. For laboratory research applications, follow standard peptide storage procedures and consult the certificate of analysis provided with your research material for optimal storage conditions.
