01Most requested

The five most requested vials and sprays.

Each vial has a current lab certificate you can open from its page. The sprays come in 10 mL metered bottles.

02Catalog

61 lines in the catalog. Every price, in the open.

Grouped by what the thing is, priced by the vial, with the price on the card rather than behind an account. Open any line for its full specification, its other sizes and its certificate. Where PubChem holds a record for a compound, its molecular formula, weight and CAS number come from there, and the record number is kept so you can check them against the source yourself.

03Why this class of molecule

Big enough to be specific. Small enough to be made.

Peptides sit in a useful gap. Small molecules are blunt and proteins are hard to define. A chain of a few dozen amino acids can be specified exactly, synthesised to a known purity, and still bind one target and not its neighbors.

They are selective

A short chain can bind one receptor tightly and leave the related ones alone. That is why peptides are useful as research tools: they let you ask a narrow question and get a narrow answer.

They are native signalling molecules

Cell-to-cell signalling already runs on peptides, which is why a synthetic peptide is a precise probe of a receptor that evolved to read one.

They are small enough to make

A protein has to be expressed in a living system. A peptide can be built residue by residue on a resin, which means a defined sequence, a defined purity, and a molecule you can actually characterize.

The literature is deep

Receptor pharmacology, metabolism, matrix and tissue biology, immunology, antimicrobials, cosmetic science. Decades of published work sit behind this class of molecule.

What any specific compound does is a question for the published literature. Nothing here is sold for use in people and nothing on this page is medical advice.

04Provenance

A certificate is a claim. One you can check is a fact.

The weak point in this supply chain is not the paperwork, it is the tier above the paperwork. Certificates inherit whatever the previous handler wrote down. So what we publish for each lot is the one document a reader can confirm without us: the testing laboratory’s own certificate, under its own number.

The card beside this lists what a complete lot record carries and which parts of it we hold today. What we do not hold, we do not claim.

05Sets

Grouped by chemistry, not by promises.

Twelve sets, each built around something the vials in it share chemically or in the literature, or simply being lines that are ordered together. Every vial is its own lot, with its own certificate where one is on file, so a set is a way to buy three at once and never a way to buy three under one piece of paper.

A metabolic line, a copper peptide and a linear melanocortin in one box. Three different syntheses and three separate lots, which is the point of buying a set rather than three vials of the same thing.

Set total

$168

3 vials at their current prices. Each goes in your basket as its own line.

Each vial in a set is its own lot, with the laboratory certificate for that lot where one is on file. Sets are a packing convenience, not a protocol.

06Quality

One laboratory, named. One number you can check.

Each lot on file was tested by a third-party laboratory, not by the manufacturer and not by us: purity by HPLC, identity by mass spectrometry, and the measured content of the vial. The certificate carries the lot number and the laboratory’s own verification number, so you can confirm it with the laboratory directly.

An illustrative trace. Each certificate in the library reports the purity read from a run like this, identity by mass spectrometry and the measured content of the vial, and is linked from the product page before you buy, not after you ask.

08How it is made

Five steps between an amino acid and a sealed vial.

Worth understanding, because it explains the price. A four-residue peptide and a forty-four-residue peptide are not the same product with a different label.

01Built one residue at a time
  1. 01

    Built one residue at a time

    Solid-phase synthesis. The chain is anchored to a resin bead and grown from the C-terminus up, one amino acid per cycle, each one coupled, capped and washed. A forty-residue peptide is forty of those cycles, which is most of why it costs what it does.

  2. 02

    Cleaved off the resin

    Acid takes the finished chain off the bead and strips the side-chain protecting groups at the same time. What drops out is crude: the peptide you wanted, plus the ones that missed a coupling somewhere along the way.

  3. 03

    Purified until it is one peak

    Preparative reversed-phase HPLC pulls the product away from the deletion sequences and truncations. Fractions get cut and re-run until an analytical injection comes back as a single dominant peak.

  4. 04

    Tested by a third-party laboratory

    A sample of the lot goes to a named third-party laboratory: purity by HPLC, identity by mass spectrometry, and the measured content of the vial. Its certificate carries the lot number and a verification number you can check on the laboratory’s own site.

  5. 05

    Lyophilized and shipped cold

    Freeze-dried under vacuum into sealed vials, then packed with gel packs in an insulated mailer and shipped with tracking.

09Ordering

Three steps, and none of them is an email thread.

01

Pick a quantity

The whole catalog reprices at the top of the table. No account, no code, no quote form standing between you and a number.

02

Check the paperwork

Open the row. Formula, molecular weight, purity, and the testing laboratory’s certificate for each lot on file. Before you pay, not after.

03

It ships, cold-packed and tracked

Orders are picked and shipped by our fulfilment partner, cold-packed and tracked. 2-Day and Overnight are the two speeds offered.

And the four things you are actually about to ask.

Dispatch, shipping, what happens when something arrives wrong, and who gets a discount. Written out in sentences rather than stamped on as badges, because a badge that says secure payment tells you nothing you had not already assumed.

  • 01

    Tracked from the warehouse

    Orders are picked and shipped by our fulfilment partner, and the tracking number is emailed when the label is made, not when it moves.

  • 02

    Free shipping over $1,000

    Flat rate below it, shown in the basket before you enter a card. No handling fee appears at the last step.

  • 03

    Wrong or damaged, we fix it

    Tell us inside 72 hours with a photo and the replacement ships at our cost.

  • 04

    20% for military and first responders

    Serving, retired, fire, police and EMS. Write to us through the contact form before you order and we will tell you how it is applied.

10Where this goes

A supplier you can audit, not one you have to trust.

Trust is what you fall back on when there is nothing to check. The whole direction of this company is to leave less and less to trust: more of the record published, more of it verifiable by someone who has never spoken to us.

The bench

Characterized, not assumed

Purity by HPLC and identity by mass spectrometry on every certificate in the library, issued by a named third-party laboratory rather than typed into a template.

The cold chain

Packed cold, tracked

Orders are packed and shipped by our fulfilment partner in insulated mailers with gel packs, 2-Day or Overnight, with tracking.

The record

A lot number that leads somewhere

Every certificate in the library has its own address, superseded ones included, so a vial already in a freezer can still be checked.

The road ahead

More of the record

The library is open and searchable by lot number, with the laboratory’s own verification number on every certificate. Not yet published, and not claimed: the manufacturing facility behind each lot, and a second report from another laboratory.

11Against the rest

Same molecules. Very different paperwork.

The complaints in this market are always the same four: the certificate belongs to another batch, the vial is short, the lot number leads nowhere, and checking it yourself costs more than the peptide did. Each row below is one of those, answered.

Right-hand column from a September 2026 review of FDA warning letters and enforcement actions in this category, and of buyer complaint threads about certificates, fill accuracy and payment.

12Where the line is

The list of things we will not sell you.

The FDA’s warning letters to research-peptide sellers keep citing the same things: dosing guidance, health claims, and research material sold next to the kit for injecting it. We would rather lose those orders than build on them, and saying so up front is the only version of this that means anything.

  • We do not sell syringes, needles, prep pads, or anything else whose only use is an injection.
  • We do not give dosing, protocol or administration guidance, in writing or on the phone.
  • We do not claim that anything here treats, prevents or improves any condition, because none of it is approved to.
  • We do not run influencer codes, stacked discounts, or a countdown that resets every morning.
  • We do not take crypto, because a buyer with no recourse is a buyer with no protection.

Ask us something

A real person answers, the same day.

A question about a lot, a line we do not stock, or a sequence you want made. You get a written answer from someone whose name is on the email, not a ticket number and a template.

  • No account needed to order
  • Custom sequences quoted the same day
  • Cold-pack shipping on every order
  • Refunds if a lot fails its own spec

Questions

The things buyers ask before the first order.

Do I need an account to order?

No. Every price is visible without one, and there are no customer accounts on this site. Certificates are public: any lot in the library can be looked up by its number.

Why does it matter who tested a lot?

Because a certificate can be copied and a batch number can be typed. In May 2026 the FDA cited an upstream supplier for relabelling material under a new batch number and changing both the manufacturing date and the retest date without supporting data. A certificate that names its laboratory and carries that laboratory’s own verification number can be confirmed with the laboratory directly, which is what every certificate in our library does. We do not yet publish the manufacturing facility behind each lot.

What does the laboratory certificate cover?

Identity by mass spectrometry, purity by reversed-phase HPLC peak area, and the measured content of the vial in milligrams; most also report endotoxin, heavy metals and sterility. The sample is submitted by our supplier, the certificate carries the lot number, and the laboratory’s verification number lets you confirm it on the laboratory’s own site.

How is purity measured?

Reversed-phase HPLC at 214 nanometers, where the peptide bond absorbs. Purity is reported as product peak area over total peak area, and each certificate names the method.

Can you synthesise something that is not in the catalog?

Possibly. Send the sequence and the scale through the form and we will ask our supplier, then reply in writing with whether it can be made, a price and a lead time.

What are the minimum quantities?

One vial. Each line lists the sizes it comes in, and larger sizes cost less per milligram: the ladder is printed on every product page, so you can see where the next break falls before you buy.

How is material shipped and stored?

Lyophilized powder in sealed vials, packed with gel packs in insulated mailers, domestic overnight or two-day. The storage condition for each line is on its product page.

Do you ship internationally?

No. We ship within the United States only.
