FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

General

What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. They are the building blocks of proteins and play crucial roles in various biological processes. Our peptides are intended for research purposes only.
Are your peptides suitable for human consumption?
No. All our peptides are sold strictly for research purposes only and are not intended for human consumption, therapeutic use, or any diagnostic purposes. They are laboratory-grade research chemicals.
What purity are your peptides?
Purity information is available where applicable and focuses on batch-level testing details. Peptra supplies clearly labelled research materials for laboratory use only.
Do you provide Certificates of Analysis?
Yes. Batch-level Certificate of Analysis (CoA) information is available where applicable, focused on purity testing and lot details. You can request CoA information via email after purchase.
Where is Peptra Labs based?
Peptra Labs is operated by Nexus Research Laboratories EOOD, Bulgaria. Orders are shipped within Romania and the European Union. Customer support is handled via info@peptralabs.com in English, Romanian and Spanish.
Why do you only sell research peptides?
Peptides are highly specific molecular tools widely used in academic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology research. Selling them as research compounds with proper documentation and chain-of-custody is the established model for getting these materials to labs worldwide. We do not sell them as drugs or supplements because none of them have completed the regulatory approval pathway required for human therapeutic claims.
How do I verify product authenticity?
Batch-level Certificate of Analysis (COA) information details purity testing and the batch number where applicable. You can verify the COA matches your specific lot - the batch number on the vial label corresponds to the COA. If you ever have doubts, email info@peptralabs.com with the batch number and we will send available CoA information directly.

Shipping

Where do you ship from?
Peptra Labs ships within Romania and the European Union using available carrier options shown during checkout.
How long does shipping take?
Delivery estimates depend on destination, carrier availability and the shipping option shown at checkout. Romanian deliveries are usually faster than cross-border EU deliveries.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship to most countries worldwide. Shipping times vary by destination (7-14 business days typically). Please note that international orders may be subject to customs duties and taxes.
How can I track my order?
Once your order ships, you'll receive a tracking number via email. You can also view real-time tracking information in your account dashboard under 'Order History'.
Is the packaging discreet?
Yes. All orders ship in plain, unmarked packaging with no indication of contents. The return address shows only our company initials, ensuring complete discretion.
Do you ship internationally outside the EU?
Peptra currently focuses on Romania and European Union delivery. Any destination outside the listed checkout coverage must be reviewed before ordering.
How do you package fragile peptides for shipping?
Peptide orders are packed as sealed, clearly labelled vials with protective packaging. Peptra does not currently claim cold-chain shipping, ice packs or temperature-controlled packaging for standard peptide vial orders.
Will I have to pay customs duties?
For EU deliveries, taxes and delivery charges are handled according to the checkout and invoice information shown for the order. Buyers remain responsible for local legal compliance and import rules where applicable.

Returns & Refunds

What is your return policy?
We offer a 7-day return policy for damaged, defective, or incorrect items. Due to the nature of research chemicals, we cannot accept returns for change of mind. Products must be unopened and in original condition.
How do I request a refund?
Contact our support team with your order number and reason for refund. Include photos if the product is damaged. Approved refunds are processed within 5-7 business days to your original payment method.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Contact us immediately with photos of the damaged product and packaging. We'll arrange a replacement or full refund at no cost to you. Your satisfaction and product integrity are our top priorities.
Why don't you accept returns?
Correctly supplied research-use products are not accepted for standard returns after dispatch because Peptra cannot verify handling, storage or seal integrity after delivery. Claims are reviewed for damaged, incorrect, missing, defective or visibly compromised items within 14 days of delivery.
What if my parcel arrives damaged?
If the box is visibly damaged or vials are broken on arrival, take photos immediately (before opening fully) and email info@peptralabs.com with your order number and the photos. We will dispatch a replacement at no charge once we confirm the damage. The courier insurance covers in-transit breakage - the photos are required to open the claim with them. Time matters: notify us within 48 hours of delivery to ensure the carrier claim window is still open.
What if the product doesn't match the COA?
If your own lab analysis shows a discrepancy with the available CoA information, email info@peptralabs.com with your analytical data. We will review with our QC team and, if confirmed, replace the lot at no charge.

Research

What documentation do you provide?
We provide available Certificate of Analysis (CoA) information focused on purity testing and lot details where applicable. Physical orders contain sealed, labelled vials only, not printed documents.
How should peptides be stored?
Store lyophilized (powder) peptides at -20°C in a freezer, protected from light and moisture. Reconstituted peptides should be stored at -20°C for short-term use or -80°C for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
What is reconstitution?
Reconstitution is the process of dissolving lyophilized peptide powder in a suitable laboratory solvent to create a solution for in-vitro research applications. Follow your institution's validated handling procedure and the product-specific information available online where applicable.
Do you offer bulk pricing for research institutions?
Yes. We offer volume discounts and custom quotations for academic institutions, research labs, and pharmaceutical companies. Contact our sales team at bulk@peptra.dev with your requirements.
Do you supply COAs for older batches?
Where batch-level CoA information exists for an older lot, we keep it retrievable for audit and procurement review. Email info@peptralabs.com with the batch number from the vial label or your order number and we will check the available record.
Can I get a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS/SDS)?
Yes. SDS documents are available on request for every peptide in the catalog. Email info@peptralabs.com with the product name and we'll send a current SDS (typically GHS-formatted in English; Romanian and Spanish translations available on request). For institutions with EHS compliance requirements, we can also provide bulk SDS packages for multiple SKUs.
Can you cite your peptides in publications?
If your institution cites purchased research material, use a factual Materials and Methods format such as 'Peptide X (Peptra Labs, batch [number])'. For journal or procurement files, email info@peptralabs.com and we can check what batch records, invoices, or research-use letters are available for the relevant order.
