Essential knowledge for safe and effective peptide research
Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. They are essentially small proteins, typically containing 2-50 amino acids. These molecules play crucial roles in biological processes and have become invaluable tools in scientific research.
Research peptides are synthesized compounds designed to mimic naturally occurring peptides in the body. They are used exclusively for laboratory research purposes to study biological mechanisms, cellular processes, and potential therapeutic pathways.
Peptides that stimulate the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Examples include Ipamorelin, CJC-1295, and GHRP-6.
Compounds that promote tissue repair and regeneration. BPC-157 and TB-500 are prominent examples in this category.
Neuropeptides that may support cognitive function and neuroprotection, such as Semax and Selank.
Peptides involved in metabolic regulation, including MOTS-c and AOD-9604.
Peptides function by binding to specific receptors on cell surfaces, triggering various biological responses. Their mechanisms of action include:
All peptides sold by Premium Peptides are intended for laboratory research purposes only. They are not approved for human consumption, medical use, or any application outside of controlled research environments.
Upon receipt, immediately inspect the package for any signs of damage or temperature compromise. Peptides should arrive in insulated packaging with ice packs or dry ice.
Check that all ordered items are present and match the packing slip. Verify the peptide name, quantity, and lot number.
Transfer peptides to appropriate storage conditions immediately upon receipt. Do not leave at room temperature.
Store at -20°C to -80°C in a freezer. Peptides in powder form are stable for extended periods when kept frozen.
Shelf Life: Typically 2-3 years when stored properly
Store at 2-8°C in a refrigerator. Once reconstituted, peptides have a limited shelf life.
Shelf Life: 7-30 days depending on the peptide
Protect from light exposure by storing in amber vials or wrapping in aluminum foil.
Note: UV light can degrade peptide structures
Gather all necessary materials:
Determine the amount of water needed based on desired concentration. Use the formula: Volume (mL) = Peptide Amount (mg) / Desired Concentration (mg/mL)
Wipe the rubber stopper of both the peptide vial and water vial with an alcohol swab. Allow to air dry for 30 seconds.
Using a sterile syringe, draw the calculated amount of bacteriostatic water. Remove any air bubbles by tapping the syringe.
Insert the needle into the peptide vial at an angle. Slowly inject the water down the side of the vial, not directly onto the powder. This prevents foaming and degradation.
Gently swirl the vial in a circular motion. Do not shake vigorously. Allow the peptide to dissolve completely, which may take several minutes.
The solution should be clear and free of particles. If cloudiness or particles persist, do not use the peptide.
Label the vial with the peptide name, concentration, reconstitution date, and expiration date. Store immediately in the refrigerator.
Every peptide from Peptide Therapy undergoes rigorous testing to ensure the highest quality and purity. We employ multiple analytical techniques to verify peptide identity, purity, and integrity.
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is used to determine peptide purity. This technique separates and quantifies the target peptide from impurities.
Standard: ≥98% purity
Mass spectrometry confirms the molecular weight and identity of the peptide, ensuring it matches the expected structure.
Accuracy: ±0.1% of theoretical mass
Amino acid analysis verifies the composition and sequence of the peptide by identifying and quantifying individual amino acids.
Verification: Complete sequence confirmation
Karl Fischer titration measures the water content in lyophilized peptides to ensure proper drying and stability.
Standard: <5% moisture content
Each batch of peptides comes with a Certificate of Analysis that includes:
All peptides sold by Premium Peptides are designated for research purposes only and are not intended for:
Researchers must ensure compliance with their institution's policies and regulations:
Researchers ordering internationally should be aware of:
Check your country's regulations regarding the import of research peptides. Some countries require special permits or documentation.
Ensure all customs forms are completed accurately. Provide institutional documentation if requested by customs authorities.
Some peptides may be regulated or controlled in certain jurisdictions. Verify legal status before ordering.
