Practical guides on peptide purity, storage, and sourcing — written for researchers, by people who care about verifiable data.

Latest notes

Nine reads before your next batch

Each note covers one decision researchers actually face at the bench — purity, stability, paperwork, or price.

Mass Spec Confirmation: If the Mass Doesn't Match, It Doesn't Count

An HPLC percentage alone is not a complete COA. How to read the [M+H]+ peak against the theoretical mass.

98% vs 99% Purity: Where the Two Points Actually Go

The gap sits in the impurity profile, the yield and the price — and it decides whether your assay repeats.

Method

How we verify every batch

No number leaves our hands without a chromatogram and a mass spectrum behind it.

01

Batch traceability

Retention samples are kept for 24 months, and every COA maps to exactly one batch number.

02

Independent testing

HPLC purity plus mass-spectrometry molecular weight confirmation. Batches outside spec are never released.

03

Data you can re-check

Chromatograms and spectra ship with the order, so you can compare them with the theoretical mass yourself.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "research use only" mean?+
It means the product is intended for laboratory research and is not approved or intended for human or veterinary use, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
Do you provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?+
Yes. Every order includes a batch-specific COA with HPLC purity and mass spectrometry confirmation.
What is the typical purity of your peptides?+
Our catalog peptides typically test at 99.2% purity by HPLC. Exact figures are batch-specific and documented in the COA.
Do you offer custom peptide synthesis?+
Yes, we support custom sequences, modifications, and bulk quantities. Contact us with your target sequence.
Do you ship internationally?+
Yes, we ship worldwide with temperature-stable, vacuum-sealed packaging and tracking.
Can I re-lyophilize a peptide after reconstitution?+
We do not recommend it. Bench-scale freeze-drying rarely removes buffer salts completely, and the process itself can promote aggregation. Aliquot before freezing instead.
Which documents do you provide for customs?+
Every shipment includes a commercial invoice, a packing list and the batch COA. The goods are declared as research chemicals, not as drugs, food or supplements.
