- Sourcing and provenanceWhere research peptides are made, and what USA-made meansMost research peptides are synthesized by contract manufacturers, many of them in China, some in Europe and the United States. What each step of the chain is, what a 'USA-made' label can legally mean, and what a chain-of-custody record should contain.
- How it is madeWhat lyophilized means, and why peptides ship as powderFreezing, sublimation and desorption in plain terms: why a lyophilized cake looks the way it does, what residual moisture and a collapsed cake mean analytically, and why the label mass is nominal.
- HandlingTFA salt or acetate salt: what the counter-ion changes about the vialWhere trifluoroacetate comes from, why it stays bound to basic residues, how much of a vial's mass it can be, what the literature reports about it in cell work, and what a certificate should say about salt form.
- Reading the paperworkIs the vial actually 5 mg? Fill weight, overfill and label accuracyHow a lyophilized vial gets its label mass, why that number is a target rather than a measurement, how a fill is checked, and how it interacts with net peptide content.
- Sourcing and provenancePeptide purity grades, salt exchange and modificationsThe grade ladder from crude to 98 per cent and what each is used for, what a salt exchange adds to price and lead time, and the modifications a custom order can specify.
- Reading the paperworkEndotoxin: what EU/mg means on a certificateWhat bacterial endotoxin is, how the LAL and recombinant Factor C methods detect it, why FDA's limit is a ratio rather than a figure in EU/mg, and why a research certificate usually stops short of it.
