What you receive, and what it is for
| What you receive | What it lets you do |
|---|---|
| The product page | Confirm identity: CAS number, formula, average and monoisotopic mass, and the sequence in one-letter and three-letter code, with the PubChem record cited |
| The batch certificate | See purity by HPLC and identity by mass spectrometry for the batch delivered |
| The RUO label | Keep research material apart from anything else on your shelves |
| Bacteriostatic water | Order 3 ml vials, ten to a box, with the peptides |
The certificate for your batch comes with the goods, and you can ask us for it. How we test
Laboratory chemicals we do not carry
We are a narrow supplier. Solvents, buffers, general reagents, glassware and instruments are not in our range. Where a purchase request lists them together with peptides, we quote the peptide lines and leave the rest to your regular supplier.
Ordering as an institution
- Forward your purchase request as it stands, or list the box codes and quantities on the quote form.
- With a first order, send proof of the organisation. A company sends its registration certificate, and the licence for its activity where one applies; a university or public body writes on its own letterhead. The person in charge of the research signs the end-use declaration.
- The quotation comes back in writing, in US dollars, and holds for 14 days, made out to the name your finance office uses: the university, a college, a department or a project. If a purchase order number has to appear on it, give it to us.
- Goods and certificate travel together to the address you name, the laboratory itself or the central stores. Payment is by bank transfer.
Laboratories that reorder can open an account; the paperwork is then read once, not with every order.
Laboratories in Erbil, Sulaymaniyah and Duhok
Laboratories in the Kurdistan Region order on the same terms as those in Baghdad, Basra, Mosul and the other provinces, with the same documents. The Kurdistan Region has its own Ministry of Health, and we deliver to business addresses throughout it.
Imports and the Certificate of Conformity
In federal Iraq, imported chemicals are regulated products under the Conformity Assessment Programme, in force since 1 January 2020. Each consignment needs a Certificate of Conformity issued before shipment by an authorised body, and is inspected on arrival. The Kurdistan Region runs a separate scheme. If your procurement rules ask about it, ask us how it applies to your order before you confirm.
Planning the work
- Allow for the lead time. Nothing is held ready; each item is sourced after you confirm. Where a date is fixed, such as a thesis submission or the close of a budget year, put it on the enquiry.
- Order in boxes. Each box is 10 vials of one strength.
- Calculate from the certificate. Water and counter-ions make up part of the weight of a freeze-dried peptide, so exact concentrations come from the certificate's figures. Peptide purity explained
- Store by the label. Each label gives the storage condition for that product. Storing peptides
- Keep the paper. A certificate filed beside the notebook links each result to its batch for as long as anyone asks. Certificates of analysis
Who qualifies
An institution or company laboratory whose work we can confirm. What we sell is for laboratory research, not for people or animals, and we offer no guidance on use. A researcher ordering in a private capacity is treated as an individual and refused. Who can buy: eligibility
