Description
Cagrilintide 5mg from Polaris Peptides is a lyophilised research peptide with over 99% purity confirmed by HPLC-MS. Cagrilintide is a amylin and calcitonin receptor agonist (also known as AM833, long-acting amylin analogue), supplied vacuum-sealed and sold strictly for laboratory research.
At $80.00 this vial works out to $16.00 per milligram. It is the smallest size we stock, which makes it a good fit for pilot experiments, method development or a first look at the compound.
What Is Cagrilintide 5mg?
Cagrilintide is a long-acting analogue of amylin, a hormone released alongside insulin by pancreatic beta cells. Native amylin is short-lived and tends to aggregate. Cagrilintide is acylated with a fatty acid chain and modified for stability, which gives it a weekly profile in published work and makes it far easier to handle in the lab.
It acts on amylin receptors (calcitonin receptors paired with RAMP proteins) rather than incretin receptors, so it works through a different pathway from semaglutide. That is exactly why researchers pair the two: the combination, known as CagriSema, is one of the most closely watched approaches in current metabolic research.

Cagrilintide Research Areas
Published studies on Cagrilintide cover several areas. The list below summarises the main ones so you can see where it fits your work.
- Amylin receptor biology: signalling through calcitonin receptor and RAMP complexes in the brainstem.
- Satiety and meal size: how amylin agonism slows gastric emptying and shortens meals in animal models.
- Combination studies: pairing with semaglutide to test complementary amylin and GLP-1 mechanisms.
- Glucagon suppression: post-meal glucagon control as a secondary endpoint.
Storing and Handling Cagrilintide 5mg
Store unopened vials at −20 °C, where the dry powder stays stable for long periods. Before reconstitution, let the vial reach room temperature to stop condensation forming inside. Add bacteriostatic water or another lab-grade solvent slowly down the side of the vial and swirl gently rather than shaking. Once reconstituted, keep it at 2–8 °C and complete your work within 28 days.
Why Order Cagrilintide From Polaris Peptides
Every batch of Cagrilintide we sell is checked by HPLC-MS for identity and purity before it is listed. Vials are vacuum-sealed to keep moisture out and labelled with the exact amount. If you are comparing suppliers, ask for the batch analysis and check it against the label. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.
How Cagrilintide 5mg Is Tested
We use two methods together. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separates the contents of a sample so we can see how much of it is the target compound and how much is anything else, such as truncated sequences or leftover synthesis reagents. Mass spectrometry (MS) then weighs the molecules, which confirms that the main peak really is Cagrilintide and not a look-alike. A result above 99% on both counts is what earns a batch a place in our catalogue. Lots that fall short are not sold.

Cagrilintide 5mg FAQ
How does cagrilintide differ from GLP-1 analogues?
It targets amylin and calcitonin receptors, not GLP-1 receptors. That makes it complementary to semaglutide rather than a substitute.
What is CagriSema?
CagriSema is the research name for combining cagrilintide with semaglutide. We stock it as a ready blend in 3mg/3mg and 10mg/10mg vials.
What purity is Cagrilintide 5mg?
Over 99%, confirmed by HPLC-MS on every batch.
How should Cagrilintide be stored?
Dry powder at −20 °C. After reconstitution, 2–8 °C, used within 28 days.
Is Cagrilintide 5mg for human use?
No. It is sold for laboratory and in-vitro research only. It is not a drug, food or cosmetic and is not for human or veterinary use.
