The Science

Understand Peptides

What are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the building blocks of proteins. Used in research to study biological signaling, tissue repair, and metabolic regulation.

Research Methodology

All products are for in vitro and in vivo laboratory research only. Researchers must follow institutional protocols and applicable regulations.

Storage & Handling Before Reconstitution

Before Reconstitution

(Lyophilized / Powder Form)
Store at -4°F (-20°C)
Keep in a freezer
Protect from light and moisture
Stable for months to years (depending on peptide)

Storage & Handling After Reconstitution

After Reconstitution

(Mixed with Bacteriostatic Water)
Store at 36–46°F (2–8°C)
Keep vial sealed and sterile
Avoid repeated temperature changes
Use within 30 days

Additional Handling Tips
Do not shake aggressively — gently swirl
Use sterile technique to avoid contamination
Discard if solution becomes cloudy or discolored
Minimize time at room temperature

Peptide Structure

Peptides are essentially short proteins (oligopeptides: 10–20 amino acids; polypeptides: >20), functioning as the body's messengers rather than structural components, unlike larger proteins.

High Specificity

Because they are natural, therapeutic peptides (e.g., tesamorelin, bremelanotide) bind to cell receptors with high specificity, reducing adverse side effects compared to traditional small-molecule drugs.
