AICAR 50mg COA and lot verification
Each AICAR 50mg lot ships with a third-party Certificate of Analysis that lists the lot identifier, the reversed-phase HPLC purity result and the mass-spectrometry identity confirmation for that batch. Match the lot number printed on the vial to the lot on the COA before the material is used in any in-vitro protocol; if the two do not match, contact us for the correct document.
What is AICAR 50mg?
AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide), also called Acadesine, is a cell-permeable nucleoside that converts intracellularly to ZMP, a direct AMP-mimic. It is one of the original tool compounds used to study AMPK pharmacology.
AICAR for sale at Amino Fuel Labs means a 50 mg vial of AICAR at 99.4% HPLC purity, independently verified by an independent third-party lab and dispatched same-day from a USA facility with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis in the box. AICAR is a ampk-activator exercise mimetic compound used in ampk, endurance, and metabolic research. When researchers go looking for AICAR for sale, the priorities are documented purity, batch-traceable third-party COAs, and reliable USA cold-chain shipping — and every vial we ship is engineered around those three guarantees.
How AICAR works
AICAR is an AMP analog that activates AMPK, shifting cellular metabolism toward fatty-acid oxidation and mitochondrial biogenesis — the original "exercise in a bottle" research compound. This mechanistic profile is why AICAR is one of the most-requested research compounds in the ampk-activator exercise mimetic category, and why purity verification matters so much — even small impurity differences can alter receptor-binding data in published in-vitro work.

Testing method
Reversed-phase HPLC with mass-spectrometry identity confirmation
Every lot of AICAR we list is supplied with a lot-matched Certificate of Analysis. Identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry and purity is measured by reversed-phase HPLC, with both results reported for the specific lot printed on the vial label. The certificate travels with the order, so the documentation can be reconciled against the material on receipt. Purity is a lot-specific value: read the figure on the certificate that matches your vial rather than treating it as a fixed product attribute. Supplied for laboratory research use only.
AICAR shipping and support
Orders placed before 2:00 PM ET ship the same business day from our USA facility. Standard delivery lands in 2–4 business days; expedited and priority options are available at checkout. Every order over $300 ships free, and we use insulated packaging with a cold pack for temperature-sensitive compounds. If anything arrives damaged or off-spec we replace it — no restocking fees, no upsell. Customer support is human-staffed and replies to research and order emails in under one hour during business days.
AICAR 50mg FAQ
What is AICAR studied for?
AICAR appears in laboratory research covering exercise mimetic research, diabetes studies, metabolic syndrome. Every reference describes in-vitro or preclinical study models, not outcomes in people.
Does AICAR include a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes. Each AICAR lot ships with a batch-specific third-party Certificate of Analysis reporting 99.4% purity by reversed-phase HPLC with mass-spectrometry identity confirmation. The COA linked on this page matches the lot number printed on the vial.
What form does AICAR arrive in and how is it stored?
AICAR is supplied as lyophilized powder in a sealed vial with its lot documentation. Store at -20°C (Freezer), protect the vial from light and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
Does HPLC purity tell me the net peptide content?
No. HPLC area-percent purity and net peptide content are different measurements. Review the report for each value rather than treating them as interchangeable. Read about peptide purity versus net content.
What purity is your AICAR for sale?
Every batch of AICAR for sale at Amino Fuel Labs is independently HPLC-verified at 99.4% purity with mass-spectrometry identity confirmation by an independent third-party lab.
What size is the AICAR vial?
Our standard AICAR for sale is a single 50 mg lyophilized vial. The vial ships in an insulated mailer with a cold pack by default.
How fast does AICAR ship?
All AICAR orders ship same-day from our USA fulfillment center on orders placed before 2:00 PM ET, Monday through Friday. Standard delivery is 2–4 business days.
Is AICAR a peptide?
No. AICAR is a small-molecule nucleoside analog, not a peptide. It is grouped with peptide research because it targets the same AMPK pathways as MOTS-C, metformin and exercise.
What's the difference between AICAR and metformin?
Both activate AMPK but via different mechanisms. AICAR is a direct AMP-mimic. Metformin acts indirectly by inhibiting mitochondrial complex I. AICAR is more potent in vitro but has a much shorter half-life in vivo.
What purity is your AICAR?
≥99.4% HPLC purity with COA included on every batch.
