Shipping & Delivery

Q: Where do you ship to?
A: We ship to verified research institutions and qualified researchers within the United States and to many international locations. International shipments are subject to the recipient country’s import laws and regulations. The customer is responsible for all customs duties, taxes, and fees.

Q: How are your peptides shipped to ensure stability?
A: All peptides are shipped in temperature-controlled packaging with ice packs to maintain integrity during transit. We use reputable courier services with tracking to ensure reliable and timely delivery.

Q: How long does shipping take?
A: Domestic orders are typically delivered within 3-5 business days after processing. International shipping times vary by destination but generally range from 7-21 business days. You will receive a tracking number via email once your order has shipped.

Q: What is your shipping policy?
A: A signature is required for all deliveries to ensure secure receipt. Please inspect your package immediately upon arrival for any signs of damage and report any issues within 48 hours.

Product Information & Quality

Q: What does “research use only” mean?
A: “Research use only” means our products are strictly intended for in-vitro laboratory research and are not for human or animal consumption, clinical use, or as a drug, food, or cosmetic. Bodily introduction of any kind is strictly forbidden by law.

Q: What is the minimum purity of your peptides?
A: We guarantee a minimum purity of 98%+ for all our standard research-grade peptides, as verified by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Many batches test even higher, as detailed on the Certificate of Analysis (COA).

Q: Where can I find the Certificate of Analysis (COA) for my product?
A: The COA is included in your order packaging and is also available digitally. You can access it by scanning the QR code on the product label, using the direct link in your shipping confirmation email, or by searching the batch/lot number on our COA Portal page.

Q: How should I store my peptides?
A: For long-term storage, lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide powders should be kept in a freezer at -20°C or colder, protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted with a solvent (e.g., bacteriostatic water), peptides should be stored in a refrigerator at 2-8°C and used within the timeframe specified in your product’s documentation (typically 2-4 weeks). Always refer to the specific storage recommendations on your COA.

Q: How do I reconstitute (mix) my peptide?
A: Reconstitution should be performed using sterile techniques in a clean laboratory environment. The most common solvent is bacteriostatic water or sterile water for injection. Slowly inject the solvent into the peptide vial, aiming the stream at the vial wall to minimize foaming. Gently swirl the vial until the powder is fully dissolved. Do not shake vigorously, as this can damage the peptide structure.

Account & Technical Support

Q: How do I create an account?
A: Click on the “Login” or “Register” button at the top of our website. You will be prompted to provide your contact information, institutional affiliation, and create a secure password. Account verification may be required to ensure compliance with research chemical regulations.

Q: I’m having trouble with my order or product. What should I do?
A: Please contact our technical support team immediately at [email protected]. Provide them with your order number, the product’s batch/lot number, and a detailed description of the issue. Our team will work diligently to resolve the problem.

Q: Do you provide guidance on experimental protocols?
A: Yes, our technical support team can provide general guidance on peptide handling, storage, and common research applications. However, we cannot design or validate specific experimental protocols, as this falls under the researcher’s responsibility.

Legal & Compliance

Q: Is it legal to purchase research peptides?
A: Yes, in the United States and many other countries, it is legal to purchase peptides for legitimate research purposes. However, regulations can vary significantly by jurisdiction. It is the buyer’s responsibility to comply with all local, state, federal, and international laws regarding the purchase, possession, and use of research chemicals.

Q: Are your products approved by the FDA?
A: No. Our products are not medicines or drugs and have not been evaluated or approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. They are sold exclusively for in-vitro research purposes.
