• Peptides are short chains of amino acids, smaller than proteins, that act as messengers to communicate with cells. 
   
• They can be designed for various purposes, from promoting collagen production in skincare to being used in peptide therapies. 
   

 

 

 

 

• Skincare:

  Peptides help with anti-aging by stimulating collagen production and relaxing facial muscles, which can soften wrinkles. 

   
• Supplements:

  While marketed for muscle growth and fat loss, their effectiveness is often limited due to digestion. 

   
• Therapy:

  Peptides can be administered via injection, nasal spray, or cream for various medical and wellness applications. 

   
• Research:

  They are essential tools in scientific research, particularly for antibody production and complex binding assays. 

   

 

 

 

 

• Lyophilized Form:

  Peptides are typically sold in a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder form, which is stable at room temperature for short periods.
• Long-Term Storage:

  For long-term storage, peptides should be kept in a freezer, ideally at -20°C or -70°C.
• Solutions:

  Store peptides in solution at -20°C or below, ensuring they are in sealed containers to minimize degradation.

 

 

 

 

• Crude (>50%): Suitable for non-sensitive screening assays.
• >85%: Often sufficient for antibody production.
• >95%: Recommended for quantitative assays, cell culture, and monoclonal antibody production.
• >98%: Essential for structural studies like NMR and X-ray crystallography.

 

 

 

 

• Guidelines for dissolving peptides can be found on a vendor's Solubility Testing page. 
   
• Ensure the peptide is fully dissolved before use. 
   

 

 

 

 

• Peptides can be administered in various ways depending on their type and purpose. 
   
• Common methods include injection, transdermal cream, nasal spray, and oral tablet. 
   
• Important Note: Source peptides only from trusted medical professionals to ensure safety and proper dosage.
