Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the same building blocks that make up proteins. In research settings, peptides are studied for their role in signaling, repair, and regulation throughout the body. Each peptide has a unique structure that can influence biological processes like inflammation, metabolism, or tissue regeneration.

Peptides are widely studied because they act as messengers in the body, helping regulate many natural processes. Different peptides can influence things like cellular repair, inflammation pathways, metabolic signaling, and tissue maintenance. Researchers value them because they’re highly targeted—small enough to interact with specific receptors, yet structured enough to produce measurable biological effects in controlled settings.

“Research Use Only” (RUO) means the material is supplied strictly for controlled laboratory work—such as analytical testing, assay development, method validation, or educational research. RUO products are not approved for human or veterinary use, and they cannot be used as drugs, supplements, cosmetics, or therapies. They’re intended to be handled only by trained professionals in appropriate research environments, following proper safety and compliance protocols.

No. ChemForge peptides are sold strictly for laboratory research and analytical purposes only, not for human or veterinary use. They are not FDA-approved drugs, have not been evaluated for safety, efficacy, or dosing in humans, and must not be ingested, injected, applied to the body, or used as therapy, supplements, or cosmetics. All handling should be done by qualified professionals in appropriate research settings, following proper safety and compliance protocols.

Purity reflects how much of the material is the intended peptide versus trace byproducts from synthesis. In research settings, higher purity helps ensure cleaner data—fewer variables, fewer unexpected interactions, and more confidence that observed results come from the peptide being studied. It’s essentially about consistency and reliability: the closer a peptide is to its intended structure, the more dependable it is for controlled laboratory work.

Each peptide batch is tested and verified to ensure purity, molecular weight, and sterility. COAs are available on our COA Verification page.

Peptides should be kept in a cool, dry, stable environment to preserve their integrity during research. Most labs store lyophilized (powder) peptides in airtight containers away from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, solutions are typically kept cold and used within the timeframe appropriate for the specific study. All handling and storage should follow standard laboratory safety practices and be performed by trained professionals.

Yes. ChemForge peptides are supplied as lyophilized (freeze‑dried) powders, the standard format for research‑grade materials. This form helps support stability during storage and transport and allows researchers to reconstitute the material according to the needs of their specific laboratory protocols.
