Research Peptide FAQs
Find clear information about Tetratide Labs research peptides, laboratory documentation, ordering, delivery, storage and responsible research handling in South Africa.
What are research peptides?
Research peptides are short chains of amino acids intended solely for laboratory and research applications. Supplied for research use only, these substances are primary reagents used to study biological pathways and molecular signaling.
Who can purchase from Tetratide Labs?
Our products are available to the public, researchers and laboratory professionals.
Are these products approved for medical use?
No. Tetratide Labs does not provide medical, veterinary, dosing or administration advice. These products are not approved for human or animal clinical use, medical diagnosis, or therapeutic treatment. They are strictly intended for laboratory and research applications.
How should peptides be stored?
Because peptide materials can be sensitive to moisture, light exposure and repeated temperature changes, we recommend keeping vials in a dry storage environment and avoiding unnecessary freeze-thaw cycles. This helps support the molecular integrity, consistency and quality of the research material over time.
For short-term handling, keep products cool and away from heat, humidity and direct sunlight. Final storage practices may vary depending on the specific peptide and intended research protocol.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept secure payments via EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer), to ensure efficient procurement for your peptide needs. All transactions are handled with strict privacy protocols.
Do you offer international shipping?
Currently, we primarily focus on providing research peptides within South Africa, but we may expand our shipping options in the future.
What is the shelf life of your products?
When stored correctly in a freezer at -20°C, most lyophilized peptides remain stable for 24-36 months. As research materials, it is critical to ensure proper storage to avoid degradation of the molecular structure.
Can I return open products?
Due to the sensitive nature of research biochemicals and strictly controlled quality chain, we cannot accept returns on opened products. If there is a validated purity issue, please provide HPLC data for verification and replacement review.
