Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about Simply Peps, our products, and how we support your research needs.

01 What are research peptides?
+

Research peptides are short chains of amino acids synthesized for use in controlled laboratory and scientific research settings. They are used to study biological processes and advance scientific understanding. All products sold by Simply Peps are strictly for research use only and are not intended for human or animal consumption.

02 Are research peptides the same as supplements or pharmaceuticals?
+

No. Research peptides are not dietary supplements, over-the-counter products, or FDA-approved pharmaceuticals. They have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. They are sold exclusively for in vitro and laboratory research purposes.

03 What does “Research Use Only” (RUO) mean?
+

“Research Use Only” means the product is manufactured and sold solely for scientific research applications. RUO products have not undergone clinical evaluation for safety or efficacy in humans or animals and must not be used for any diagnostic, therapeutic, or self-administration purposes.

04 Who can purchase research peptides?
+

Our products are intended for licensed researchers, scientists, and qualified laboratory professionals. By completing a purchase, you represent that you are obtaining the product for lawful research purposes only. It is your sole responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction before purchasing.

05 Why is purity important?
+

Purity directly affects the reliability and reproducibility of research results. Impurities can skew assay data and compromise experimental integrity. Simply Peps provides third-party Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for all products so researchers can independently verify quality before use.

06 What is a Certificate of Analysis (CoA)?
+

A Certificate of Analysis is a document issued by an independent, accredited third-party laboratory. It verifies the identity, purity, and potency of a peptide and confirms the product meets specified quality standards. Certificates of Analysis are available for all Simply Peps products upon request.

07 How should research peptides be stored?
+

Most lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides should be stored at -20 degrees C or colder, away from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated and use within the timeframe specified in the product documentation. Improper storage may affect peptide integrity and the reliability of research outcomes.

08 Are research peptides legal?
+

The legal status of research peptides varies by country, state, and jurisdiction. Simply Peps sells products strictly for legitimate laboratory research purposes. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to understand and comply with all applicable laws before purchasing. Simply Peps does not condone or support any unlawful use of its products.

09 How are research peptides used in experiments?
+

In a research context, peptides are typically reconstituted in a suitable solvent such as bacteriostatic water and applied in cell culture, in vitro assays, or controlled research studies to examine biological activity, receptor interactions, or other approved research endpoints. Any use outside of a controlled, lawful research setting is not supported or endorsed by Simply Peps.

10 How do I choose a reliable supplier?
+

Look for suppliers who provide third-party Certificates of Analysis, use HPLC and mass spectrometry testing, are transparent about manufacturing processes, and have a consistent record of product quality and customer support. Simply Peps meets all of these standards and is committed to providing researchers with verified, high-purity products.

11 What is the difference between Research, GMP, and Clinical-grade peptides?
+

Research-grade peptides meet purity standards appropriate for laboratory use. GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) grade adheres to stricter manufacturing controls and documentation requirements. Clinical-grade is the highest standard, required for human clinical trials and subject to full regulatory oversight. Simply Peps products are research-grade and are not suitable for clinical or human use.

12 When does my order ship?
+

Orders are processed and shipped Monday through Friday. Orders placed before 12:00 PM (noon) are typically shipped the same business day. Orders placed after noon, or on weekends and holidays, will be processed and shipped the next available business day. You will receive tracking information by email once your order has shipped.
