Products & Quality

What is a Certificate of Analysis (CoA)? +

A Certificate of Analysis is a document from an accredited third-party laboratory confirming the identity, purity, and concentration of a compound. Every product we sell is accompanied by a CoA so researchers can independently verify what they are receiving.

Where do you source your peptides? +

We source exclusively from vetted manufacturers who meet our strict quality standards. All products are independently tested by third-party accredited laboratories prior to being listed in our catalog.

How should I store my peptides? +

Lyophilized peptides should be stored in a freezer at -20 degrees C, kept away from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, store at 4 degrees C and use within an appropriate research timeframe. Always follow proper laboratory storage protocols.

What is lyophilized powder? +

Lyophilization is the gold standard method for preserving peptide stability. It removes water from the compound while maintaining its molecular structure, resulting in a stable powder with a long shelf life when stored correctly.
