Question 1

What are research peptides?

Accepted Answer

Reference research compounds are analytical materials supplied exclusively for in-vitro laboratory study. They are not drugs, supplements, or therapeutic products, and they are never for human or animal consumption.

Question 2

Who is qualified to purchase?

Accepted Answer

Purchasers must be at least 18 and a qualified researcher, laboratory professional, or affiliated with a research institution. Completing a transaction affirms these conditions.

Question 3

What purity standard do you supply?

Accepted Answer

Every batch is HPLC-verified at 99.0% or higher. A batch-specific certificate of analysis is available on the product page and can be verified by batch number.

Question 4

How are compounds tested?

Accepted Answer

Batches are analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC for peptide purity and by mass spectrometry for identity confirmation. Third-party test reports accompany every batch.

Question 5

How should lyophilized peptides be stored?

Accepted Answer

Lyophilized reference peptides are stable when kept refrigerated (2–8°C) short term and frozen (−20°C or colder) for long-term storage. Keep sealed and protected from light and moisture until reconstitution.

Question 6

How are they reconstituted for analysis?

Accepted Answer

Bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) is the standard laboratory diluent. Add slowly against the vial wall — do not shake. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within the interval specified for your protocol.

Question 7

What is the shelf life?

Accepted Answer

Lyophilized reference compounds are stable at −20°C for approximately 24 months when stored per protocol. Reconstituted material is typically used within 21–28 days when refrigerated.

Question 8

How fast do orders ship?

Accepted Answer

Orders are typically dispatched within 1–2 business days of payment confirmation. Domestic delivery via tracked carrier is 2–5 business days depending on location.
