Ordering & Payment

#How do I pay for my order?

We accept Zelle. Here is how to pay, step by step:

  1. Add the items to your cart and go to checkout.
  2. Enter your billing and shipping details, choose a delivery option, select Zelle as the payment method, accept the Terms and Conditions, and place the order.
  3. Your order confirmation, on screen and by email, shows the Zelle details to pay (the business name and phone number) and the exact order total.
  4. Open Zelle in your banking app, send the exact total, and put your order number in the memo.
  5. Your order is on hold until the payment arrives. Once we match it to your order, we confirm by email and start processing. Orders are dispatched within 2–3 business days after payment is verified.

Card payments are not currently offered at checkout. Questions about a payment? Email research@sequorapeptides.com with your order number.

#Is checkout secure? Can I check out as a guest?

Yes to both. The whole site, including checkout, uses an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and you can check out as a guest without creating an account. Zelle payments are made inside your own banking app, so we never see or store your bank login details. How we handle personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy.

#What payment methods do you accept?

We currently accept Zelle at checkout. Card payments are not offered at this time. See How do I pay for my order? for step-by-step instructions, and our Privacy Policy for how payment information is handled.

#How do I know my order is confirmed?

You get an automatic confirmation email once your payment is received and verified. You can also see the order status in your account. No email after paying? Check your spam folder, then email us a screenshot of the payment at research@sequorapeptides.com and our team will verify it and process the order.

#Can I change my order after placing it?

Yes, if it has not shipped yet. Email research@sequorapeptides.com with your order number and the change you need, and we will confirm the updated order. Once an order has shipped, it can no longer be changed. To cancel instead, see How do I cancel my order?

Shipping & Tracking

#When will my order ship, and how long does delivery take?

Orders are processed and dispatched within 2–3 business days after payment is verified. After dispatch, delivery takes about 5–6 business days with Standard Shipping ($10), 2 business days with FedEx 2 Day ($25), or the next business day with UPS Next Day Air ($80). Carrier delays, weather or address problems can make it longer. Full details are in our Shipping Policy.

#How do I track my order?

When your order ships, we email you a tracking number. You can also find it under Orders in your account.

#My tracking hasn't updated. Where is my order?

Tracking can show no movement for a short time after the label is created, until the carrier scans the package. If there is still no update after 1–2 business days, email research@sequorapeptides.com with your order number and we will open a trace with the carrier.

#Are packages shipped discreetly?

Yes. Orders ship in safe, secure packaging, and the contents are not visible from the outside. Each package goes to the delivery address on your order with tracking.

#Do peptides need to be shipped cold?

No. Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides tolerate the short time at ambient temperature that shipping takes, and manufacturers routinely ship them this way (Bachem). Store them cold as soon as they arrive; see How should products be stored on arrival?

#Do you ship to my state or country?

We ship to all U.S. states and to Canada. We do not currently ship to other countries. Buyers outside the United States are responsible for knowing their own country’s import rules for research chemicals. See our Shipping Policy.

#What if my package arrives damaged?

Email research@sequorapeptides.com as soon as possible with your order number and clear photos of the outer box, the packaging and the vials. We will open a claim with the carrier and review your case. See our Refund & Returns Policy for details.

Testing, Purity & COAs

#Does every batch come with a COA, and can I see it before I order?

Yes. Every batch has a third-party Certificate of Analysis (COA) that reports identity by mass spectrometry and purity by HPLC. To see the COA for the batch currently in stock before you order, email research@sequorapeptides.com with the product and strength. For a vial you have received, see Where do I find the COA for my batch? Our Quality & Testing page explains how batches are tested.

#Where do I find the COA for my batch?

Every vial label carries a batch code. Scan the batch code on the label to open the certificate for that batch, or email research@sequorapeptides.com with your order number and the batch number and we will send the matching COA. We recommend keeping the COA with your laboratory records. More on batch numbers is on our Quality & Testing page.

#What do "third-party tested" and "COA" mean?

"Third-party tested" means an independent laboratory, not the supplier, runs the tests. A COA is a document issued for each batch. It lists the batch number, each test performed, its acceptance limit and the actual result (FDA/ICH Q7, section 11.4). For a line-by-line walkthrough, read How to read a peptide COA.

#How do I read a Certificate of Analysis?

Check four things: the batch number matches your vial, the HPLC purity, the mass found by mass spectrometry against the expected molecular weight, and the test date and laboratory. Our guide How to read a peptide COA explains each line with examples.

#What does HPLC purity mean? Is 98% good?

HPLC purity is the area of the main peptide peak as a share of all peaks detected, usually measured by UV light at 210–220 nm (Bachem). A higher number means fewer related impurities, such as shortened or modified sequences. Which purity is enough depends on the experiment, so compare the value on the batch COA with what your method needs.

#What is the difference between purity and peptide content?

They measure different things (Bachem). Purity is the share of the peptide signal that is the target sequence. Peptide content is the share of the powder's weight that is peptide at all; the rest is water and counter-ions such as acetate or trifluoroacetate (TFA) left from synthesis, so content is often 70–90% (Bachem; Cornish et al., 1999). Peptide content is measured by amino acid analysis (Merck).

#How do you confirm a peptide's identity?

Mass spectrometry measures the molecular weight, which is compared with the expected weight of the sequence (Bachem). No single test proves identity on its own, so it is read together with HPLC (Swietlow & Lax, 2004). Each product page lists the expected formula and molecular weight from public databases.

#How do you choose the scientific sources on your pages?

We cite primary literature, public chemical databases and regulatory documents, each with a DOI, PMID or direct link. Read Research Sources & Editorial Standards for how we select and review them.

Storage & Handling

#How should products be stored on arrival?

Move the vials to cold storage as soon as they arrive. Store the sealed vials at −20 °C or colder, dry and away from light. Let a vial reach room temperature before opening it so moisture does not condense on the powder, and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Peptides in solution are much less stable than the dry powder. Our Quality & Testing page covers storage in more detail.

#How long do peptides last?

Most lyophilized peptides stay stable for several years when kept frozen and dry; in solution they last much less time (GenScript). Sequences containing cysteine, methionine or tryptophan oxidize more easily, and those with asparagine or glutamine also have shorter shelf lives (Bachem). Check each product page for that compound's storage notes.

#What if a vial was left at room temperature?

Short periods at ambient temperature, such as during shipping, are normal for lyophilized peptides (Bachem). Move the vial to cold storage as soon as possible. Long exposure to heat, humidity or light speeds up degradation.

#Do products arrive as a powder? Do you include solvents or supplies?

Yes. Each compound is supplied as a lyophilized solid in a sealed, labeled vial. Vials do not include solvents or other supplies, and we do not provide preparation or use instructions. Choose handling methods according to your laboratory's validated protocols and the compound's data on its product page. See RUO peptides explained.

#Why does my vial look almost empty?

A few milligrams of freeze-dried peptide forms a small cake, a thin film or loose powder that can sit on the walls or base of the vial. That is normal. The amount per vial is stated on the label and its batch COA.

Products & Specifications

#Where can I find a compound's formula, CAS number and references?

Each product page lists the sequence, molecular formula, molecular weight and CAS number, checked against public databases, plus cited references. Category pages and guides such as What are GLP-1 receptor agonists? give the wider research background.

#What vial sizes do you offer?

Sizes vary by compound. Each strength has its own product page; where a compound comes in more than one strength, use the strength buttons under the price to switch between them before adding to your cart.

#What is in a peptide blend?

A blend is two separately made and purified peptides freeze-dried together in one vial. Each component keeps its own sequence and is identified separately on the batch COA. See Peptide Blends for the current blends and their components.

#How are research peptides made?

The standard method is solid-phase peptide synthesis: amino acids are added one at a time to a chain anchored on a resin bead (Merrifield, 1963; Bachem). The finished chain is cut from the resin, purified by HPLC and freeze-dried. That is why many peptides are supplied as acetate or trifluoroacetate salts (Cornish et al., 1999).

#Why is NAD+ in the catalog if it isn't a peptide?

NAD+ is a dinucleotide coenzyme, not a peptide, so we list it separately under Cellular Cofactors. Its guide, What is NAD+?, explains the difference.

Returns, Refunds & Cancellations

#What is your refund and return policy?

The full policy is on our Refund & Returns Policy page. All sales are final and we do not accept returns, because research materials cannot be resold once they leave our facility. Lost or damaged packages are reviewed case by case after we open a claim with the carrier, and items we sent in error are corrected at no cost.

#What should I do if I receive the wrong item?

Email research@sequorapeptides.com right away with your order number and clear photos of the item and its label. Once we verify the claim, we reship the correct item or refund you, as set out in our Refund & Returns Policy.

#When will my refund arrive?

Approved refunds go back to the original payment method. Refunds are processed within 5–10 business days. You will get an email when the refund is issued.
