FAQ
Do you offer peptide blends?
Yes, we offer peptide blends. For specific requests, please contact us directly, or visit the dedicated section on our website. We also provide combination deals.
How should peptides be reconstituted?
Peptides can be reconstituted using a variety of solvents, depending on their hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties, as well as their acidic or basic nature. Common solvents include saline, bacteriostatic water and acetic acid.
What are peptides, and what are their primary uses in research?
Peptides are made up of short chains of amino acids, serving as the fundamental components of proteins. In research, they play a key role in studying how biological processes work and understanding protein interactions. This makes them especially valuable in fields like regenerative medicine and hormone regulation. Check our introduction to peptides for further information.
What is the shelf life of your peptides, and how should they be stored?
Our lyophilized (powder) peptides should be stored at -20°C to -80°C, with a shelf life of up to 2 years or more. After reconstitution, store them refrigerated at 4°C and use within a few weeks. Always keep vials capped and stored in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture. Once the cap is removed, we recommend immediate use and advise against storage after opening. For optimal stability, store peptides in dark conditions or in containers that protect them from light exposure.
The table below serves as a guideline for proper storage and shelf life of peptides:
| Peptide Form | Storage | Temperature | Shelf-Life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lyophilized (Powder) | Room | 20°C to 25°C | 1 month |
| Lyophilized (Powder) | Fridge | 2°C to 8°C | 12 months |
| Lyophilized (Powder) | Freezer | -20°C | 48 months |
| Lyophilized (Powder) | Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer | -80°C | Long-Term |
| Reconstituted (Liquid) | Room | 20°C to 25°C | Short-Term |
| Reconstituted (Liquid) | Fridge | 2°C to 8°C | 2 weeks to 2 months |
| Reconstituted (Liquid) | Freezer | -20°C | Mid-Term |
| Reconstituted (Liquid) | Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer | -80°C | Long-Term |
How can I trust the quality of your peptides?
Our quality assurance framework is centred on internal analytical verification conducted throughout the manufacturing process within our UK laboratory facilities.
In addition to internal QC, independent external analytical validation may be utilised on a periodic or as-required basis within our broader oversight structure. Historically, where appropriate, this has included engagement with accredited laboratories operating within established regulatory jurisdictions, such as the United States.
We are currently expanding our third-party analytical capacity within the UK in order to consolidate oversight within a single regulatory environment, enhance consistency of standards, and further strengthen governance within our quality framework. This development represents a significant step forward in our infrastructure, and we anticipate sharing further information regarding these expanded capabilities through future collaborative partnerships, technical publications, and updates across our official communication channels, including blog and social media releases.
