Research FAQ

Research peptides are synthetic amino acid chains produced for laboratory and scientific research purposes. They are used to study biological processes, test hypotheses, and investigate potential mechanisms. Research peptides are sold as laboratory reagents, not as drugs, supplements, or products for human consumption.

No. Research peptides are laboratory reagents sold for scientific investigation. They are not FDA-approved drugs, have not undergone clinical trials for therapeutic use, and are not intended for human consumption. Some peptides may have pharmaceutical counterparts that require a prescription, but research-grade versions are distinct products for laboratory use only.

Research peptides are typically purchased by academic researchers, biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical R&D departments, independent laboratories, and scientific institutions conducting in-vitro studies, cell culture experiments, and biochemical assays.

Purity percentage indicates the proportion of the main peptide component in a sample as measured by HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography). ≥99% purity means that at least 99% of the sample consists of the intended peptide, with less than 1% being related impurities, synthesis byproducts, or other compounds.

HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) is an analytical technique that separates components in a mixture. For peptides, it determines purity by measuring the percentage of the main peptide peak relative to total area. It identifies impurities and provides quantitative purity data.

Mass Spectrometry (MS) measures the mass-to-charge ratio of molecules. For peptides, it confirms molecular identity by comparing the observed molecular weight to the expected theoretical weight. This ensures you have the correct compound, not just a pure sample of something else.

A COA is a document from a testing laboratory reporting quality test results. It typically includes purity (from HPLC), molecular weight confirmation (from MS), appearance, lot number, and testing date. Third-party COAs from independent labs provide additional verification of quality claims.

Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides should be stored at -20°C or below for long-term storage. Keep them in a desiccated (dry) environment, protected from light and moisture. Some peptides may be stable at 4°C for shorter periods. Always check specific storage recommendations for each peptide.

Once reconstituted, peptides should typically be stored at 4°C and used within days to a few weeks, depending on the specific peptide. For longer storage, aliquot into single-use portions and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which can degrade peptides.

Common reconstitution solvents include bacteriostatic water (for multiple uses) or sterile water for injection (for single use). Some peptides may require specific solvents based on their solubility. Always use sterile techniques and appropriate solvents as indicated in product documentation.

No. Research peptides sold by BioInfinity Lab are for in-vitro laboratory research only. They are not intended for use in humans or animals, not for therapeutic purposes, and not for clinical applications. Using research chemicals in humans or animals may be illegal and dangerous.

Research peptides are used in cell culture studies, receptor binding assays, enzyme activity assays, protein-protein interaction studies, mechanism of action investigations, and other in-vitro experimental contexts. Researchers use them to study biological processes and test scientific hypotheses.

Preclinical research (in-vitro and animal studies) does not establish safety or efficacy in humans. Results from laboratory studies may not translate to human outcomes. Clinical trials are required to determine if findings have human applications, and most research peptides have not undergone such trials.

Research peptides sold for laboratory use are not FDA-approved drugs. They are chemical reagents for scientific research. Some peptides may have FDA-approved pharmaceutical versions that require a prescription and are distinct from research-grade products.

In the United States, purchasing research peptides for legitimate laboratory research is generally legal. However, using them for human consumption, selling them as supplements or drugs, or misrepresenting their intended use may violate federal and state laws. Buyers must agree that purchases are for research purposes only.

No. BioInfinity Lab does not make any medical claims, therapeutic claims, or statements about safety or efficacy in humans. Our research index provides educational summaries based on published preclinical literature. We are a research peptide supplier, not a pharmacy or medical provider.
