Answers to the questions we get most. Can’t find yours? Send us a message.
Product and quality
Is every batch independently tested?
Yes. An independent laboratory tests every batch for purity and content by HPLC. Each product page shows the report for the batch currently in stock, and every order is linked to the batches it was packed from: enter your order number and email on the verify page to see them.
What is the shelf life?
Lyophilised and stored at −20°C, compounds stay stable for 24 months from the analysis date. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated at 2–8°C and use within 30 days.
How should I store vials?
Store lyophilised vials at −20°C, dry and away from light. Once reconstituted, move them to 2–8°C in the dark. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing, which degrades the peptide over time.
My order arrived at room temperature. Is it degraded?
No. Lyophilised peptides are stable and tolerate ambient temperatures over normal transit times without loss of potency. Store at −20°C when it arrives.
What does lyophilised mean?
Freeze-dried. Water is removed from the peptide solution under vacuum, leaving a stable powder that lasts far longer than a liquid. It’s the standard way research peptides are preserved.
Why does the powder look different between batches?
The bulking agent used in freeze-drying affects texture, colour and density. This is normal and has no bearing on purity or concentration. The batch’s lab report confirms both.
Are your peptides sterile?
Vials are lyophilised under controlled conditions, sealed and inspected before dispatch. All products are supplied for in-vitro research use only.
Shipping and delivery
When will my order be dispatched?
Orders paid before 3pm, Monday to Friday, are dispatched the same day. Orders paid after 3pm, at weekends or on bank holidays go out the next working day.
Where do you ship to?

It depends on the service you choose. Times count from dispatch. Royal Mail Tracked 48 aims to deliver within two working days, but it can take two to three working days. Royal Mail Tracked 24 aims to deliver the next working day, but it can take one to two working days. Checkout shows an estimated delivery date before you pay. Only Special Delivery is guaranteed.

Is the packaging discreet?
Yes. Every order ships in plain, unbranded outer packaging with nothing on the outside about what’s inside.
Can I change my delivery address after ordering?
Contact us as soon as possible with your order number. Once the order has been dispatched, the address can’t be changed.
Can I track my order?
Yes. We email you a tracking link as soon as your order is dispatched. You can also use Track order with your order number and email at any time.
Payments and ordering
How do I pay?
By pay by bank. At checkout you choose your bank and approve the payment in your banking app, with no card and no account details to type. Your order is confirmed straight away. We don’t take card payments.
Do you offer bulk pricing?
Multi-buy savings apply automatically: 5% off when you buy three or more of a product and 10% off for five or more. For larger or institutional orders, contact us.
Can I cancel or change an order?
Contact us straight away with your order number. We can change or cancel it until it’s dispatched. Once it’s on its way, we can’t recall the parcel.
Do I need an account to order?
No, guest checkout is always available. An account keeps your order history, lets you reorder in one click and shows your store credit balances.
Returns and store credit
Something arrived damaged
Send us a photo within 48 hours of delivery and we’ll arrange a replacement, refund or store credit.
Can I return an unopened vial?
We can’t accept returns of sealed research products once they’ve left our warehouse. See our shipping and returns policy.
How does store credit work?
We email store credit to you as a code. Enter it in the code box at checkout. If your order costs less than the credit, the rest stays on the code for next time. If you have an account, your codes and balances are on your account page.
Compliance and use
What are peptides?
Short chains of amino acids that act as signalling molecules in a range of biological pathways. Everything we supply is a research reagent intended strictly for in-vitro laboratory use.
Can you advise on dosage or reconstitution for personal use?
No. All products are sold for in-vitro laboratory research only, and we don’t give guidance on dosing, injection or any physiological use.
Are these compounds approved for medical use?
No. All products are research grade only and are not licensed, approved or intended for human or veterinary use.
Who can buy from you?
Individuals and organisations carrying out legitimate in-vitro laboratory research. You must be 18 or over and confirm that compounds are bought solely for research. See our research use only policy.
