What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. They naturally occur in the body and play roles in many biological processes such as hormone signaling, cell communication, immune response, and tissue repair.
Are research peptides for human consumption?
No. Peptides sold as research chemicals are not intended for human or animal consumption and are meant strictly for laboratory research purposes only.
How should research peptides be stored?
Storage depends on the peptide, but typical guidelines are:
- Lyophilized (powder): store in a freezer around -4°F (for long term)
- Reconstituted peptides: store in a refrigerator 35°-45°F for short-term use
- Protect from light, moisture, and repeated freeze/thaw cycles
How are peptides reconstituted for research?
Researchers commonly dissolve lyophilized peptides in solutions such as:
- Bacteriostatic water
- Sterile water
- Acetic acid solution (depending on peptide properties)
The exact solvent depends on the peptide’s solubility and experimental requirements.
What does mg mean on a peptide vial?
The mg (milligram) indicates the total mass of peptide in the vial. Example:
- A vial labeled 10 mg contains 10 milligrams of peptide powder.
Researchers determine their own concentrations when preparing solutions.
Where are your peptides manufactured and tested?
- All research peptides listed are formulated in the USA.
- All research peptides listed are 3rd party tested in the USA.
- We take the quality of our products extremely serious to assure up to >99% purity.
What is a COA (Certificate of Analysis)?
A Certificate of Analysis is a document that verifies:
- Peptide identity
- Purity testing results
- Batch number
- Analytical methods used (often HPLC and mass spectrometry)
How long do peptides last?
Typical stability guidelines:
- Lyophilized: 1-2 years in a freezer
- Reconstituted: days to months depending on peptide and storage conditions
What are the most commonly studied peptides?
Some peptides commonly studied in research include:
- BPC-157
- TB-500
- CJC-1295
- Ipamorelin
- Semaglutide
These are frequently examined in metabolic, regenerative, and signaling pathway research.
What is the difference between peptides and proteins?
Both are made of amino acids.
- Peptides: short chains (usually fewer than ~50 amino acids)
- Proteins: longer, more complex structures made of many peptides linked together.
