Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our products, ordering, shipping, and more.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, typically between 2 and 50 residues, linked by peptide bonds. They function as signaling molecules in biological systems, binding to specific receptors on cell surfaces to trigger targeted physiological responses. Unlike larger proteins, peptides offer high specificity with rapid absorption and minimal off-target effects. At Peptide Labs Health, our research-grade peptides are synthesized using solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) with Fmoc chemistry, ensuring precise sequence fidelity and exceptional purity for reliable experimental outcomes.

Ordering is straightforward through our website. Browse our product catalog, add items to your cart, and proceed to checkout. We accept all major credit cards, wire transfers, and institutional purchase orders for qualifying organizations. For bulk orders exceeding $1,000 or custom synthesis requests, please contact our sales team directly at orders@peptidelabs.health for personalized pricing and expedited processing. All orders receive a confirmation email with tracking information within 24 hours of processing.

All Peptide Labs Health products undergo rigorous quality control and achieve a minimum purity of 98%, with most products exceeding 99.5% as verified by reversed-phase HPLC. Every batch is independently tested using mass spectrometry (ESI-MS or MALDI-TOF) to confirm molecular identity, and a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) accompanies each shipment. Our CoA includes HPLC chromatograms, mass spectrometry data, amino acid analysis, peptide content, and residual solvent testing results.

We ship worldwide using temperature-controlled packaging to preserve peptide integrity. Domestic orders ship within 1-2 business days via FedEx Priority Overnight with cold-chain tracking. International orders ship via FedEx International Priority with estimated delivery in 3-7 business days, depending on the destination and customs clearance. All shipments include dry ice or gel ice packs as appropriate for the product's storage requirements. Free shipping is available on domestic orders over $500.

Proper storage is critical for maintaining peptide integrity. Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides should be stored at -20°C or below for long-term storage, and will remain stable for up to 24 months under these conditions. Some sensitive products require -80°C storage, which will be indicated on the product label and CoA. Once reconstituted, peptide solutions should be aliquoted to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles and stored at -20°C, where they typically remain stable for 2-4 weeks. Always allow vials to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.

Yes, all Peptide Labs Health products are manufactured exclusively for research and educational purposes. Our peptides are produced in ISO 9001-certified facilities following GMP-adjacent protocols, making them suitable for in-vitro studies, cell culture experiments, animal model research, and analytical reference applications. Each product is supplied with comprehensive documentation including a Certificate of Analysis, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and handling guidelines. Our peptides are not intended for human or veterinary clinical use.

Absolutely. Our custom synthesis service can produce peptides ranging from 2 to 100 amino acids in length, including sequences with non-natural amino acids, D-amino acids, cyclization, and various chemical modifications such as PEGylation, fluorescent labeling, and biotinylation. Custom orders typically have a turnaround time of 2-4 weeks depending on sequence complexity and scale. We offer synthesis at milligram to gram scales with purity options from crude to >99%. Contact our synthesis team at custom@peptidelabs.health with your sequence and requirements for a detailed quote.

Peptides should be handled with standard laboratory safety practices. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including lab coat, safety glasses, and nitrile gloves. Work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood when weighing dry peptides to avoid inhalation of fine particles. Avoid skin contact and ingestion. Consult the product-specific MSDS provided with your order for detailed hazard information and first-aid measures. Dispose of peptide waste in accordance with your institution's chemical waste protocols and applicable local regulations.

We stand behind the quality of every product. If a peptide does not meet the specifications stated on its Certificate of Analysis, we will replace it at no charge or issue a full refund within 30 days of delivery. To initiate a quality claim, contact support@peptidelabs.health with your order number, lot number, and a description of the issue. Unopened products in original packaging may be returned within 14 days for a full refund, subject to a restocking fee for temperature-sensitive items. Custom synthesis products are non-refundable unless they fail to meet agreed-upon specifications.
