CJC-1295 with DAC Research Peptide
Lyophilized Format • ≥99% HPLC Purity • Ships in 1–2 Business Days • U.S. Warehouses

CJC-1295 with DAC (DAC:GRF, CAS 446262-90-4) is a synthetic 30 amino acid GHRH analog incorporating ConjuChem Biotechnologies’ Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) technology, supplied by Nextday Peptides for laboratory and analytical research applications. The DAC component — a maleimido lysine derivative — is designed to covalently associate with serum albumin in experimental systems, extending the effective half-life of the GHRH analog from approximately 30 minutes (unmodified) to 6–8 days in research models. Each vial is independently verified to ≥99% HPLC purity with a Certificate of Analysis available on request. For scientific research use only.

Why Research Laboratories Select CJC-1295 with DAC
CJC-1295 with DAC is the long-acting variant of CJC-1295, distinguished by its DAC-mediated albumin binding that dramatically extends its persistence in experimental systems compared to the No DAC version. Where CJC-1295 No DAC produces short-acting pulsatile GHRH receptor activation lasting 30 minutes to 2 hours, the DAC version maintains sustained GHRH receptor activation for 6–8 days in research models — making it an essential complementary tool for laboratories investigating sustained versus pulsatile GH secretagogue signaling dynamics.
- Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) — maleimido lysine derivative enabling covalent albumin binding at Cys34 of serum albumin
- Extended half-life — approximately 6–8 days in research models versus ~30 minutes for unmodified GHRH analog
- Sustained GHRH receptor activation — useful for studying prolonged GH secretagogue dynamics versus pulsatile CJC-1295 No DAC
- 30 amino acid sequence incorporating four DPP-IV resistant substitutions — enhanced enzymatic stability over native GHRH
- Teichman et al. (2006) published human RCT data in Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism — extensive published literature available
- Lyophilized format ensures stability and reproducibility across experimental runs
- Batch and lot identifiers on all labeling for full laboratory documentation compliance
Research Background
CJC-1295 with DAC was developed by ConjuChem Biotechnologies as part of their DAC platform technology. Sam et al. (2004) published pharmacokinetic findings in Endocrinology (PMID: 15817669) demonstrating albumin-mediated half-life extension. Teichman et al. (2006) published landmark human RCT data in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism showing that a single administration produced sustained GH elevation for multiple days in human subjects. The compound is listed on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list alongside other GHRH analogs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CJC-1295 with DAC?
CJC-1295 with DAC (DAC:GRF, CAS 446262-90-4) is a synthetic 30 amino acid GHRH analog incorporating a Drug Affinity Complex (DAC) maleimido lysine derivative that enables covalent albumin binding. The DAC modification extends the compound’s effective half-life in experimental systems from approximately 30 minutes to 6–8 days. Supplied strictly for scientific, analytical, and in-vitro laboratory research use only.
What is the Drug Affinity Complex (DAC)?
The Drug Affinity Complex is a proprietary technology developed by ConjuChem Biotechnologies. It works by attaching a maleimido lysine derivative to the peptide sequence that forms a covalent bond with the free thiol group of Cys34 on endogenous serum albumin. Since serum albumin has a half-life of approximately 19 days, compounds bound to it persist dramatically longer in experimental systems than unmodified peptides.
What is the difference between CJC-1295 with DAC and CJC-1295 No DAC?
CJC-1295 No DAC (Modified GRF 1-29) has a short half-life of approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours in research models, producing pulsatile GHRH receptor activation. CJC-1295 with DAC binds to serum albumin via the DAC linker, extending its half-life to approximately 6–8 days in research models for sustained GHRH receptor activation studies. The two products are used for different research applications depending on whether pulsatile or sustained signaling dynamics are being investigated.
What purity is your CJC-1295 with DAC?
Every batch is independently verified to ≥99% HPLC purity. A Certificate of Analysis is available for each lot.
