How to Buy Research Peptides in Canada: Frequently Asked Questions

Research peptides can be purchased online directly from Researched Peptides. Before ordering, researchers should review product specifications, purity testing, Certificates of Analysis (COAs), shipping policies, and storage recommendations to ensure compounds meet laboratory requirements.

Researched Peptides accepts several secure payment options for Canadian researchers:

• Secure Credit Card (Visa & Mastercard): Fast, encrypted online checkout.
• Interac E-Transfer: Convenient online banking transfer (available upon request).

All orders ship directly from our Vancouver, BC facility to eliminate international customs hold-ups and delays. Key shipping details include:

• Canada Post Xpresspost: Standard express delivery with an estimated 1–3 business day arrival target.
• Free Express Shipping: Offered on qualifying Canadian orders over $199.
• Discrete & Temperature-Shielded Packaging: Packages are packed in plain, non-branded, heat-protected boxes for privacy and thermal stability during transit.

Every production batch undergoes independent analytical testing prior to release. Quality assurance protocols include:

• Third-Party Testing: Conducted by independent analytical laboratories.
• High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC): Verifies compound concentration, guaranteeing 99%+ purity.
• Mass Spectrometry (MS): Confirms exact molecular weight and amino acid sequence identity.
• Full Batch Traceability: Every vial features a unique batch code linked directly to its downloadable Certificate of Analysis (COA).

The visual appearance of freeze-dried peptides varies depending on the specific compound and lyophilization cycle. Key details:

• Normal Cake Variation: Lyophilized peptides may appear as a solid cake, a fluffy powder, or a thin film along the bottom of the vial.
• Exact Milligram Weight: Every vial is measured by precise milligram weight rather than visual powder volume.

Proper storage maintains long-term compound stability:

• Short-Term Storage: Refrigerate at 4°C for immediate laboratory use.
• Long-Term Storage: Store sealed, freeze-dried vials at -20°C for extended preservation.

Once hydrated, peptides require strict environmental controls to preserve bioactivity:

• Refrigeration: Store reconstituted solutions at 4°C and use within 21–30 days.
• Single-Use Aliquots: Freeze solutions at -20°C only if divided into single-use aliquots. Avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.
• Light Protection: Keep vials stored in their original protective packaging away from direct light.

To prevent compound shearing and structural damage during reconstitution:

• Recommended Solvent: Use sterile Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% Benzyl Alcohol).
• Gentle Liquid Flow: Drip solvent slowly down the inside glass wall of the tilted vial.
• Do Not Shake: Gently swirl the vial until completely dissolved. Never shake or vortex peptide solutions.

If a shipment arrives damaged or stops updating in transit, contact our support team immediately:

• Damage Claims: Email photos of damaged items within 72 hours of delivery.
• Tracking Investigations: Shipping inquiries initiate if tracking fails to update for more than 5 business days.
• Guaranteed Replacements: Verified transit losses or damaged items are immediately re-shipped.
