Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our research compounds, ordering, and laboratory protocols.

๐Ÿ”ฌ Are your compounds tested for purity?

Yes, absolutely. All Vertex Labs compounds undergo rigorous third-party testing through Janoshik Analytical Laboratories. Each batch is tested using HPLC-MS/MS to verify purity, identity, and concentration.

Certificate of Analysis (COA) reports are available upon request for all current batches. Our purity standards consistently exceed 99% for all research peptides.

๐Ÿ“ฆ What are your shipping policies?

We offer free express shipping on all orders over $200 USD. Orders under $200 ship with a flat rate of $9.95.

  • Processing: 12-24 hours (business days)
  • Domestic Shipping: 2-3 business days via USPS Priority or UPS
  • International: Currently shipping within USA only
  • Cold Chain: All peptides shipped with ice packs to maintain stability
๐Ÿ’ณ What payment methods do you accept?

We accept multiple payment methods for your convenience:

  • Credit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express
  • Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDC
  • Bank Transfer: Wire transfer for institutional orders

All transactions are processed through secure, encrypted payment gateways.

๐Ÿงช How should I store research peptides?

Proper storage is critical for maintaining peptide integrity:

  • Lyophilized powder: Store at -20ยฐC (freezer) in a desiccated environment
  • Reconstituted solution: Store at 2-8ยฐC (refrigerator) and use within 30 days
  • Avoid: Repeated freeze-thaw cycles, exposure to light, and high humidity

Always allow vials to reach room temperature before reconstitution to prevent condensation.

๐Ÿ” What is the difference between variations?

We offer multiple yield options to accommodate different research protocols:

  • Lower yields (5mg-10mg): Ideal for preliminary studies and small-scale experiments
  • Medium yields (10mg-20mg): Suitable for standard research protocols
  • Higher yields (20mg-50mg): Designed for extended studies and multiple applications

All variations maintain the same purity standards and quality control measures.

๐Ÿ“‹ How do I reconstitute lyophilized peptides?

Standard reconstitution protocol for research peptides:

  1. Allow the vial to reach room temperature (15-20 minutes)
  2. Use sterile bacteriostatic water or sterile saline solution
  3. Inject solution slowly down the inner wall of the vial - never directly onto the powder
  4. Gently swirl (do not shake) until completely dissolved
  5. Store reconstituted solution in refrigerator (2-8ยฐC)

Important: Use within 30 days of reconstitution to maintain stability.

๐Ÿข Do you offer institutional pricing?

Yes, we offer discounted pricing for qualified research institutions, universities, and laboratories. Please contact our support team at vertexpeps@gmail.com with your institutional credentials and estimated order volume for a customized quote.

๐Ÿ”„ What is your return policy?

Due to the nature of research compounds, we maintain the following policy:

  • Damaged items: Contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos for replacement
  • Shipping errors: We will correct any order discrepancies immediately
  • Quality concerns: Each batch is tested; if you have concerns, we'll arrange for third-party retesting

Please inspect all packages immediately upon receipt. Contact us within 5 business days for any issues.
