FAQ

Questions, answered plainly

Shipping, storage, documentation, payment and supply terms. If something is missing, the contact page reaches a person.

How fast do orders ship?

In-stock lots dispatch within one business day, median 24 hours from payment clearing. Orders placed after 14:00 CT ship the next business day. You receive a tracking number and the lot numbers on your packing note at dispatch.

How is material shipped and stored?

Lyophilised powder ships at ambient temperature. Drying removes the water that makes a peptide unstable, so a dried cake does not need coolant in transit - we do not operate a cold chain and do not claim to.

Storage conditions for each lot are stated on its certificate. The receiving procedure is on Receiving & Handling.

Who runs the assay, and what is on the certificate?

Release testing is contracted to one of three independent laboratories on rotation. We do not run our own release assay. Every certificate carries appearance, purity by RP-HPLC at 214 nm, identity by LC-MS, net peptide content in milligrams by amino acid analysis, water by Karl Fischer, counter-ion by ion chromatography, heavy metals by ICP-MS, and endotoxin by USP ⟨85⟩ LAL.

The chromatogram itself is published, not just the number extracted from it. See COA Explained.

Can I read a certificate before I buy?

Yes - that is the point. Every product page shows the lot you would actually receive, and every lot number resolves to a permanent certificate. Nothing is gated behind checkout or an account.

What does the code on the vial do?

Each vial is printed with a six-digit code beneath its lot number. Entering it at Verify a Batch opens the certificate for that exact lot, so you can confirm the vial matches the paperwork before opening it. Codes are per lot, not per vial, and never expire.

Do you sell to individuals?

We supply qualified investigators and research organisations. Material is sold strictly as a laboratory reagent for research use only and is not for human consumption. We do not provide dosing guidance and we cannot advise on personal use.

What if a lot fails specification after release?

The lot is withdrawn, everyone who received it is notified by email, and the certificate page gains a dated withdrawal note. The page is never deleted. Withdrawn material is replaced or refunded at your choice, including shipping.

Is shipping protected?

Yes, on every order and at no charge. Material that arrives damaged, is lost by the carrier or is held and not delivered is replaced from the same lot where possible, dispatched within one business day of the claim being accepted. Photographs are the whole claim; nothing has to be sent back. The steps are on Returns & damage.

Do I need an account?

No. Certificates, verification and ordering all work without one. An account, signed in with a one-time email code, keeps your order history, the certificate for every lot you have received, and saved addresses that fill the checkout. Sign in or create one.

How do I track an order?

Enter the order reference from the confirmation email at Track an order. It shows where the parcel is in dispatch, the lots in the order and their certificates. The carrier link itself is emailed the moment the parcel is scanned.

What is your return policy?

Unopened vials with an intact crimp seal can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. Opened vials cannot be returned for reasons of chain-of-custody, but anything that fails to match its certificate is replaced or refunded regardless of whether it has been opened. Full detail on Returns & damage.

What payment methods do you accept?

Major credit and debit cards, ACH and wire for institutional accounts, and purchase orders for established laboratories on net-30 terms. Institutional quotes and W-9s are available through the partner program.

Do you ship internationally?

We ship to most destinations, with the customer as importer of record. Some jurisdictions restrict import of research chemicals; it is the purchaser's responsibility to confirm local requirements before ordering.

Can you synthesise something not in the catalog?

Yes. Custom synthesis from 5 mg upward, with the same release testing and published certificate as catalog material. Send the sequence and required scale through the partner program.

Do you offer reference standards?

Characterised standards and blanks for calibration and method development are not yet stocked. They are supplied to order with an extended certificate including replicate injections - ask us for a quote.

Release notes
