- Synthesis method
- Bulk industrial SPPS, aggregated inventory from multiple manufacturers
- Small-batch synthesis (claimed but not verified per order)
- Small-batch solid-phase synthesis, cGMP facilities, max 90-day inventory rotation
- Real Peptides provides verifiable batch traceability; generic distributors cannot confirm synthesis origin
- Purity verification
- UV absorbance (total peptide content), no structural validation
- HPLC testing (not specified per batch)
- HPLC + MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry on every batch, molecular weight confirmed ±0.5 Da
- Mass spec confirmation is the functional difference. Detects misfolded variants HPLC misses
- Certificate of Analysis
- Generic spec sheet, not batch-specific
- Provided on request (response time varies)
- Batch-specific CoA with retention time, purity %, mass spec data, endotoxin levels
- Batch-specific documentation is non-negotiable for research compliance
- Cold-chain shipping
- Room temperature standard shipping, cold packs available for surcharge
- Temperature-controlled shipping (unspecified protocols)
- All orders ship 2–8°C with cold packs rated for 48–72 hours, temperature data logging available
- Temperature excursions during shipping are the most common degradation point
- Batch consistency
- Orders filled from available inventory, batch variance 2–5% standard
- Consistent quality (no batch reservation services listed)
- Small-batch production with batch reservation for longitudinal studies
- Without batch reservation, multi-phase studies introduce uncontrolled variables
- Typical purity range
- 92–97% (actual testing often below claimed)
- >95% claimed
- 98–99.5% verified per batch via HPLC and mass spec
- 2% difference in purity = 15–20% dose variance in functional assays
