EPO in brief
EPO comes in 2 strengths from 3000IU to 5000IU per vial, each a sealed box of ten, from $71.68 to $121.54 a box. Per IU the spread is narrow: E3K (3000IU x 10 vials) works out at $0.00239 per IU against $0.00243 per IU for E5K (5000IU x 10 vials), 2 percent less for the same IU, because the vial, the fill and the testing cost about the same whatever the vial holds.
Nothing is held on the shelf: every strength is special order, brought in on a 50-box minimum rather than held in stock; ask the desk for the date before ordering.
What EPO is
EPO, erythropoietin, is a recombinant glycoprotein of 165 residues with three N-linked and one O-linked glycan, expressed in mammalian cells; the carbohydrate is roughly forty percent of its mass, which is why it is quoted at about 30 kilodaltons although the protein chain alone is about 18. It is not a synthetic peptide and its potency is stated in international units. The eleven residues of Ara-290, a synthetic peptide sold here as a line of its own, are taken from this protein’s helix B.
Its certificate is a glycoprotein certificate: purity and identity by the methods it names (size exclusion and SDS-PAGE for purity), endotoxin and the net content. The isoform pattern and a potency figure are not certificate lines here; the desk answers for a particular batch. Stored at minus 20 degrees Celsius as the lyophilised powder, as its specification states.
EPO beside HCG and HMG
EPO works out at $0.00239 per IU at 3000IU (E3K, in 50-box lots), its lowest. Its neighbours: HCG and HMG, each counted in international units of its own reference standard, so a price per IU does not compare across them.
Reading an EPO certificate of analysis (COA)
- Content in IU, not milligrams; identity is against the reference standard, not a single mass.
Worked out from what the sheet holds for this line; the batch certificate is the record. How to read one, and verify a batch number.
Buy EPO in bulk
EPO is sold in bulk by the sealed box of ten vials, and every account starts at list price. Two discounts can lower it, the size of one order (from $5,000 of goods) or the account’s tier (from lifetime paid spend), and the better one applies, never both. Priced below on E3K, 3000IU x 10 vials, the best-priced strength.

Specification
The limits this compound is supplied to. Its purity limit is stated on each batch certificate rather than here, and the desk gives it for a batch before you order.
| Purity | On the batch certificate, with the method named there: size exclusion and SDS-PAGE for protein and glycoprotein lines, not an RP-HPLC area percentage |
|---|---|
| Identity | Against the reference standard by the method the batch certificate names |
| Endotoxin | Reported on the batch certificate |
| Net content | Label claim ± 5 % |
| Closure | 2 mL glass vial, bromobutyl stopper, aluminium flip-off seal |
| Storage | −20 °C, dark and dry; brief ambient transit tolerated |
| Shelf life | 24 months from manufacture; retest date on the batch record |

Questions about EPO
Is EPO one chain or two?
One: a single glycosylated chain of 165 residues, expressed in mammalian cells. HCG and HMG, beside it in this range, are pairs: HCG holds a 92-residue alpha and a 145-residue beta subunit together without a covalent bond, and HMG combines FSH and LH, two hormones of that two-subunit kind, in one preparation.
How much does EPO cost?
It is sold only by special order, 50 boxes per strength, from $71.68 a sealed box of 10 vials, up to $121.54 for the largest strength, which works out at $0.00239 per IU at its best-priced size. The smallest order is 50 boxes of E3K, $3,584.00 of goods, with freight included to a US address. Every strength and its price per vial is in this page’s price table.
Which EPO size is cheapest per IU?
E3K, 3000IU x 10 vials, at $0.00239 per IU, which is 2 percent less per IU than E5K, at $0.00243 per IU. The best-priced size is not the largest here, so read the per-IU column line by line rather than assuming the biggest vial wins.
Can I buy a single vial of EPO?
No, and not a single box either. EPO is a special-order line, brought in on a 50-box minimum rather than held in stock, so the smallest order is 50 sealed boxes of one strength: for E3K, 3000IU x 10 vials, that is 50 boxes at $71.68, $3,584.00 of goods. A box is sealed at fill with its batch number on it, and splitting one would break the link between the vials and their certificate.
Which EPO strengths are in stock today?
None today. E3K and E5K are special order: brought in on a 50-box minimum rather than held in stock; ask the desk for the date before ordering.
How is EPO stored?
At minus 20 degrees Celsius, dark and dry. Lyophilised powder tolerates a short spell at ambient temperature in transit, which is why boxes ship without ice. Storage and handling.
What is in a box of EPO?
Ten sealed vials of one strength, each labelled with the product code, the strength and the batch number; the trade also calls a box a 10-vial kit. EPO is supplied in a sealed glass vial and in no other presentation. Boxes are not split.
Is a certificate of analysis (COA) provided for EPO?
Yes. For EPO the batch certificate reports its purity and identity by the methods it names (size exclusion and SDS-PAGE for purity), endotoxin and its net content. The other lines on this page are the specification it is made to, and the desk answers for them on a particular batch. The certificate is sent with the shipment, and again on request, and any batch number can be verified on the certificate page.
Is this for human use?
No. Everything here is supplied for laboratory research only, to trade accounts, and is not for human or animal consumption. The research-use page sets out who can buy and what is not sold.
