Research Peptide Guides
Everything below is written for people who actually handle these compounds — how to verify what you've been sent, how to store it, and how to tell a real Certificate of Analysis from a decorative one. No dosing, no protocols, no claims about human use.
Verifying what you've been sent
The documentation side: how to check that the vial in your hand contains what the label says.
How to Read a Peptide COA
What a Certificate of Analysis actually reports — batch number, HPLC purity, mass-spec identity, net peptide content — and how to spot a certificate that tells you nothing.

Understanding Peptide Purity: What ≥99% Means
Why purity and net peptide content are different numbers, what HPLC actually measures, and why a purity figure without a batch-specific COA behind it is just marketing.
Read the guide →
Peptide Batch Codes and Traceability Explained
What a batch or lot code is, why traceability matters, and how to match the code printed on your vial back to the certificate that covers it.

How to Verify a Peptide Supplier
A researcher's checklist for vetting any supplier — including us. Third-party testing, batch traceability, transparency, and the questions worth asking before you order.

Handling and storage
What to do once the vial arrives, and how to avoid degrading material through poor handling.
How to Store and Reconstitute Research Peptides
Storage temperatures for lyophilized material, reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, aliquoting, and why repeated freeze-thaw cycles are worth avoiding.

What Is Bacteriostatic Water?
Sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol — how it differs from sterile and distilled water, and why it's the standard diluent for reconstituting lyophilized peptides.

Why NAD+ Comes in an Amber (Brown) Glass Vial
The brown bottle isn't cosmetic — NAD+ is light-sensitive, and amber glass filters out the UV and blue-violet light that degrade it. The science, plus how to store NAD+.

What Does Lyophilized Mean?
Freeze-drying explained: how the process works, why research peptides are supplied as powder rather than solution, and what the vial should look like on arrival.

Compounds and comparisons
What the published literature says, and where supplier naming gets unreliable.
BPC-157 vs TB-500: What the Research Literature Says
Two compounds constantly mentioned together that have nothing structurally in common — plus why "TB-500" means different molecules from different suppliers, and what that does to your COA.

Regulations in Canada
Where research peptides sit under Canadian law, in plain English.
Are Research Peptides Legal in Canada?
How these compounds are treated under the Food and Drugs Act, what "research use only" actually means, and where the line sits. General information, not legal advice.
