SerenQ Pharmaceuticals builds research grade somatropin into a sealed, pre-filled injection pen rather than a stack of lyophilised vials with separate bacteriostatic water. No reconstitution, no drawing up with a syringe barrel, no working out how many units you need from a bac water dilution. Dial the units, read them off the window, done.
SerenQ has appointed The Ped Shop as its exclusive UK stockist. Every pen sold here comes direct from the manufacturer, in sealed retail cartons, with a unique serial number and QR authenticity code on the label.

Serialised & QR Verified
Every SerenQ product carries a unique serial number and a QR code printed on the label. Scan it with any phone camera and you can independently confirm the pen is genuine SerenQ stock and check its batch details before you open the carton.
One code per pen. Each one can only be registered once, so a duplicate scan is an immediate red flag.
About the compound
Somatropin is recombinant human growth hormone, a 191 amino acid single chain polypeptide with the identical sequence to the growth hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary. Rather than being extracted from human tissue, it is produced by inserting the human growth hormone gene into a host cell line (typically a strain of E. coli), which then expresses the protein at scale. The “rDNA origin” mark on the label is shorthand for this process.
Because the amino acid sequence matches endogenous hGH exactly, the recombinant protein binds the same growth hormone receptor and triggers the same downstream signalling cascades in the research literature. Two mechanisms dominate the published work: direct receptor activation across peripheral tissues, and hepatic release of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), which mediates a large portion of what is broadly labelled the “growth hormone effect”.
Research applications for somatropin span several areas. In the body composition literature it has been examined for its effects on lean mass, adipose tissue and lipolysis via the JAK-STAT and PI3K-Akt pathways. In tissue repair work, IGF-1 driven anabolic signalling has been studied in muscle, connective tissue and skin fibroblast populations. Metabolic studies have looked at glucose handling, free fatty acid mobilisation and hepatic glucose output. There is also a body of work on sleep architecture, with growth hormone secretion showing a well characterised pulse during slow wave sleep in reference subjects.
The 100 IU loading in this pen equates to 33.3mg of somatropin, using the conventional 3 IU per mg conversion. The pen is graduated so that 9 units on the dial dispenses 3 IU (roughly 1mg), giving 33 clean 9 unit draws before the pen runs dry. Sub-unit dosing is possible by dialling smaller increments and reading them off the window.
Where the evidence sits: somatropin is one of the most extensively studied recombinant proteins in the pharmaceutical literature and holds licensed medicinal product status in the UK and other regulators under a range of prescription brands. This SerenQ product is not one of those licensed medicines. It is manufactured and supplied strictly as a research grade reference material, with no medicinal licence, no clinical indication, and no fitness for human use attached to it.
The pen format
This is where SerenQ does things differently. Instead of ten lyophilised vials and a separate bacteriostatic water ampoule, the somatropin arrives pre-dissolved in a stabilised solution and pre-loaded into a graduated injection pen with a dial and a dose window. Every dial setting delivers a consistent, verifiable volume, and every unit on the dial holds the same 0.333 IU of somatropin.
- 100 IU (33.3mg) of somatropin per pen, pre-dissolved in solution
- 1 unit = 0.333 IU (approximately 111mcg)
- 9 units on the dial gives 3 IU (1mg)
- 300 units in total, which works out at 33 full 9 unit draws per pen
- Dial and dose window let you set the exact amount and read it back before dispensing
- 4 screw on pen tips supplied, individually sealed, 32G 0.23 x 4mm
- 4 alcohol swabs supplied
- Protective cap, clip and a rigid retail carton for storage and transport
- Batch number, expiry and serial printed directly on the pen barrel, not just the box
Handling and storage
- Store refrigerated at 2 to 8°C. Do not freeze
- Keep in the outer carton, away from direct light
- Solution should be clear and colourless. Discard if cloudy, discoloured or if particulates are visible
- Short periods at room temperature during transit are expected and normal, though prolonged exposure will degrade potency
- Use a fresh sealed tip for each dispense and dispose of tips in a sharps container
- Expiry 12/2027 on sealed, correctly stored stock
- Keep out of reach of children and animals
