Peptides
What are research peptides?
Research peptides are short chains of amino acids used in laboratory and scientific studies. They are commonly utilised in biochemical, cellular, and molecular research environments to study signalling pathways, receptor interactions, metabolic processes, tissue regeneration mechanisms, and hormone-related activity.
All products sold on this website are supplied strictly for laboratory research purposes only.
What does “research grade purity” mean?
Research grade peptides typically undergo analytical testing to confirm purity levels. This commonly includes:
- High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
- Mass Spectrometry (MS) analysis
- Certificate of Analysis (COA) verification
Purity levels may vary by compound but are generally ≥98% for research applications. Always refer to the specific product listing for detailed purity information.
Are these peptides for human consumption?
No. All peptides sold on this website are intended strictly for laboratory research use only.
They are not:
- For human consumption
- For veterinary use
- For diagnostic or therapeutic use
Any other use is strictly prohibited.
How are peptides supplied?
Most research peptides are supplied in:
- Lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder form
- Sterile, sealed laboratory vials
- Clearly labelled for research purposes
Lyophilised peptides are preferred for long-term stability and easier storage.
How should research peptides be stored?
Storage recommendations may vary by compound, but general guidelines include:
- Store lyophilised peptides in a refrigerator (2–8°C)
- For long-term storage, freezing at -20°C may be appropriate
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
- Protect from light and moisture
Always review the specific storage guidance provided for each product.
What is peptide reconstitution?
Reconstitution refers to the process of dissolving a lyophilised peptide using a suitable laboratory solvent for research use.
Common research solvents may include:
- Bacteriostatic water
- Sterile water
- Acetic acid solution (for certain peptides)
The correct solvent and procedure depends on the specific peptide and intended research protocol.
How stable are peptides once reconstituted?
Once reconstituted, peptides typically have a shorter stability window compared to lyophilised form.
General laboratory guidance:
- Store refrigerated (2–8°C)
- Use within the recommended research timeframe
- Avoid contamination during handling
Stability varies by compound.
What are peptide blends?
Peptide blends are research formulations that combine two or more peptides into a single vial for combined laboratory study. These may be used to explore synergistic or complementary biochemical pathways within controlled research environments.
Each blend will list the individual peptide components and quantities clearly.
How are peptides used in research?
Research peptides are commonly studied in areas such as:
- Growth hormone pathway research
- Metabolic and weight research
- Cellular regeneration studies
- Collagen and skin-related research
- Inflammatory pathway analysis
- Neurological and receptor-binding studies
Applications vary widely depending on the compound.
Do peptides require special handling?
Yes. Proper laboratory handling procedures should be followed, including:
- Use of sterile equipment
- Controlled storage conditions
- Accurate measurement practices
- Professional laboratory protocols
Peptides should only be handled by qualified researchers or laboratory professionals.
