Products and quality
What you're buying, and how you know it's right.
What is a peptide?
A peptide is a short chain of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Your body also makes many peptides itself, such as hormones.
What does "at least 99% pure" mean?
That at least 99% of the powder consists of the correct peptide. We measure this with HPLC: a standard laboratory test that shows which substances are in a sample.
What is a test report (CoA)?
A CoA (Certificate of Analysis) is the test report for a batch. Among other things, it shows the measured purity. You can request the report for your batch from us.
Why is it supplied as a powder?
The peptide is freeze-dried (lyophilised). As a powder it keeps much longer than as a liquid. You only dissolve it when you start working with it.
Are the products intended for human use?
No. Our products are intended solely for laboratory research, not for human or animal consumption.
Storage and preparation
How to keep your vials in good condition.
How should I store the vials?
In the fridge (2–8 °C), in a dark place. For longer storage, the freezer (−20 °C) is also fine.
What is bacteriostatic water?
Sterile water with a small amount of benzyl alcohol, which inhibits the growth of bacteria. It's used in laboratories to dissolve powders such as peptides. You get 3 ml free with every vial.
How do I prepare the powder for research?
You dissolve the powder in bacteriostatic water and then store the solution in the fridge. Use the peptide calculator to work out the concentration of the solution. Want a step-by-step explanation? Book a research consultation.
Returns and service
Something not right, or have a question? We're happy to help.
Can I return my order?
Yes, within 14 days of receipt, if the vial is unopened and sealed. Read everything on the Delivery & returns page.
My parcel is damaged or incorrect. What now?
Please contact us as soon as possible, ideally with a photo. We'll sort it out free of charge.
What is a research consultation?
A personal explanation of working with peptides in a research setting: storage, dissolving and working safely. At home, at your company or online. More about the consultation.
