What is a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?
A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is a lab-generated document that details your peptide’s identity, purity, and content. At Midwest Peptide, every COA is produced by Chromate, a trusted U.S.-based laboratory. Each COA includes endotoxin testing to ensure that your research materials meet the highest quality standards.
How should I store my peptides?
Peptides should be stored lyophilized (freeze-dried) at -20°C for long-term stability. Once reconstituted, keep them refrigerated between 2–8°C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Always store in a sealed vial, protected from light and humidity, to preserve integrity.
How do I reconstitute my peptides?
Use sterile, high-purity water or the solvent recommended on your COA. Add the liquid gently and swirl until the peptide dissolves. Avoid shaking vigorously, as this may damage the peptide’s molecular structure. Always consult your COA for any specific reconstitution guidance.
How long will my peptides remain stable?
Stability depends on storage conditions and peptide composition. Lyophilized peptides stored at -20°C can remain stable for months or even years. Once reconstituted, peptides should be used quickly and stored in a refrigerator at 2–8°C. Before each experiment, verify the peptide’s activity and integrity.
How are orders packaged?
All shipments are protected using shock-resistant packaging with insulation to prevent temperature fluctuations and physical damage. Whether ordering a single vial or a full research kit, Midwest Peptide ensures each product arrives safe, stable, and ready for use.
Are your peptides tested for safety?
Yes. Every peptide is tested for purity, content, and endotoxins. Endotoxin testing minimizes contamination risks, ensuring clean and reliable results in research environments.
Can I order internationally?
Not at the moment. We currently ship within the United States only, but international ordering is in development and will be available soon.
What should I do if my peptide arrives damaged or compromised?
If your order arrives damaged, contact us immediately at info@midwestpeptide.com. Our team will inspect the issue and work with you to provide a prompt replacement or resolution. All orders are inspected and packaged carefully before shipment to prevent damage.
Can I get bulk or custom orders?
Yes. Midwest Peptide offers bulk and custom order options for research labs of all sizes. For pricing or specialized requests, email info@midwestpeptide.com to discuss your needs and receive a tailored quote.
