Answers to common questions regarding peptide reconstitution, batch certificates, cold-chain shipping, and institutional ordering.

Questions & specifications

What researchers ask us most often before ordering.

What can these materials be used for?

Laboratory research only — in vitro work and analytical reference use by qualified personnel in an appropriate facility. They are not drugs, supplements, food or cosmetics, and they are not intended for human or veterinary use, diagnosis or treatment. By ordering, you confirm you are a research professional and will use them accordingly.

How is purity measured, and what does 99% mean?

Purity is reported as peak area percentage by reverse-phase HPLC at 220 nm — the main peak measured against everything else the detector sees. Identity is confirmed separately by mass spectrometry. A batch below 99% is not released for sale.

Is the certificate specific to my vial?

Yes. Every certificate is tied to a single synthesis lot, and the lot number on your label is the one you search here. We do not publish a representative certificate and reuse it across production runs.

How should material be stored on arrival?

Keep sealed lyophilised vials at 2–8 °C, protected from light. For storage beyond a few months, −20 °C is better. Once reconstituted, stability drops considerably and depends on the compound and buffer — the stability notes on each product record give the specifics.

How is it shipped?

Cold, in insulated packaging with gel packs, tracked, and dispatched the next business day on orders placed before 2pm CT. We ship to research institutions and businesses; some jurisdictions restrict certain compounds and we will tell you before charging.

Something arrived damaged or reads differently than the certificate.

Email the lot number and photographs within seven days. We hold a retained sample from every batch, so we can re-run the analysis and replace or refund based on what it shows.
