Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about research peptides in Canada.

What is the difference between a peptide and a protein?

Both are made of amino acids, but peptides are much shorter chains (generally under about 50 amino acids), while proteins are longer and fold into complex structures. This size difference is why they behave differently in research.

What is a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?

A COA is a lab document that verifies a peptide's identity, purity, and composition. A strong COA shows 99%+ purity, HPLC and Mass Spectrometry results, a batch number, and is issued by an independent third-party lab you can verify with directly.

How do I reconstitute a research peptide?

Lyophilized peptides are dissolved in a solvent such as bacteriostatic water, added slowly down the side of the vial rather than directly onto the powder. Swirl gently instead of shaking. Always follow your laboratory's validated protocol for the specific compound.

What is a peptide blend?

A peptide blend is a single vial containing two or more peptides combined together — for example GLOW or KLOW. Blends are studied for combined effects, and at NexPept they receive the same third-party testing and COA as individual compounds.

How do I calculate a reconstitution amount?

The amount of solvent determines the concentration of your solution. Our free Peptide Calculator lets you enter the peptide amount and desired concentration to work out exactly how much solvent to add.

Where can I learn more about research peptides?
