1. What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that naturally occur in the body. They are crucial for various biological processes such as hormone regulation, cell signaling, and tissue repair.

2. Are the peptides sold by The Amino Source for human consumption?

No, all peptides sold by The Amino Source are intended strictly for research and laboratory use only. They are not for human or veterinary use and are not intended for medical or diagnostic purposes.

3. How do I store peptides?

Peptides should be stored in a cool, dry place. For long-term storage, they should be kept at -20°C. Once reconstituted, peptides should be used as soon as possible and stored in sterile conditions.

4. How should I reconstitute peptides?

Peptides are generally reconstituted using Bacteriostatic Water. We have a detailed video guide available on our website to help with proper reconstitution techniques. Always follow laboratory protocols when handling peptides.

5. Do you offer bulk peptide orders?

Yes, bulk orders are available. For inquiries about pricing and availability, please contact us at [Contact@TheAminoSource.com] or call us at [insert contact number].

6. How is the purity of your peptides determined?

All of our peptides are third-party tested and have a purity level of 99% or higher. Each peptide comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring that you receive the highest quality product.

7. What are the shipping and handling times?

We aim to process and ship orders within 1-2 business days. Shipping times may vary depending on the destination and shipping method selected at checkout. For more details, please refer to our Shipping Policy page.

10. What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept major credit cards, PayPal, and bank transfers. For bulk orders, wire transfers can also be arranged. Please contact us if you require special payment arrangements.

11. Can I get custom peptides made?

Yes, we offer custom peptide synthesis services. Contact us at [Contact@TheAminoSource.com] to discuss your needs, and we will provide a quote and delivery timeline.

12. How can I contact customer support?

For any inquiries, please email us at [Contact@TheAminoSource.com] or call us at [insert contact number]. We are available Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

13. What is the shelf life of peptides?

Peptides, when stored properly in a freezer (-20°C), typically have a shelf life of 1-2 years. Once reconstituted, they should be used within a short period to maintain stability.

14. Are peptides safe to handle?

Peptides are safe to handle when used in a controlled laboratory environment. Always follow proper safety protocols, including wearing gloves, and handling peptides in sterile conditions.

15. How do I know how much solvent to use when reconstituting peptides?

The volume of solvent depends on the concentration you need for your research. We recommend consulting the Certificate of Analysis or reaching out to us for guidance on specific peptides.

16. Can peptides be shipped to P.O. boxes?

We recommend using a physical address for shipping. For P.O. box deliveries, please contact our support team before placing your order to confirm shipping options.

17. What should I do if my peptide solution becomes cloudy?

If your peptide solution appears cloudy, it could indicate improper reconstitution or contamination. We recommend checking your process and using sterile techniques to ensure the solution remains clear.

18. How are peptides synthesized?

Our peptides are synthesized using advanced solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) techniques. This ensures a high degree of purity and sequence accuracy in every batch.

19. What should I do if my peptide arrives damaged or compromised?

If your peptide arrives damaged or the packaging appears compromised, please contact us immediately at [Contact@TheAminoSource.com] with your order details and photos, and we will assist in resolving the issue.
