What are research peptides?
Structure
Peptides are chains of amino acids joined by amide (peptide) bonds. Short chains of 2 to roughly 50 residues are called peptides; longer chains fold into proteins. Sequence, chain length and terminal modifications define how a peptide behaves.
Synthesis & purity
Research peptides are built by solid-phase peptide synthesis, cleaved from the resin, purified by reverse-phase HPLC and lyophilized to a stable powder. Purity is reported as the HPLC area percentage of the target peak; identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry.
Laboratory use
In the lab, peptides serve as receptor ligands, enzyme substrates, signaling probes and reference standards in cell-culture, biochemical and analytical studies. Our products are supplied exclusively for these in-vitro research applications.
Handling & storage
Lyophilized peptides should be kept sealed, protected from light and moisture, and stored refrigerated or frozen for long-term stability. Allow vials to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
