Product Information
What are research peptides?
Research peptides are short chains of amino acids synthesized for use in laboratory studies. TrueBond Labs supplies them exclusively as reference materials for in-vitro and qualified research applications — they are not drugs, supplements, or consumer products.
Are your products for human use?
No. Every product we sell is intended strictly for laboratory research. Our products are not approved by the FDA and are not for human or animal consumption in any form. We cannot provide any guidance on mixing, dosing, or usage, and orders placed for consumer purposes violate our terms of sale.
How should products be stored?
Lyophilized peptides are shipped in sealed vials and should be kept cool, dry, and away from direct light. For long-term laboratory storage, refrigeration or freezing per your facility's standard handling protocols is recommended. Specific stability data, where available, is listed on each product page.
How is purity tested?
Every lot is tested by independent U.S. laboratories using HPLC to quantify purity and concentration, and mass spectrometry to confirm molecular identity. Results are published as a Certificate of Analysis before the lot enters inventory — nothing ships without one.
What is a COA?
A Certificate of Analysis is the lab document that reports a specific lot's test results: identity, purity, and potency. Each TrueBond vial carries a QR code linking directly to its own lot's COA, and all certificates are published on our Lab Reports page.
Ordering & Payment
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards, plus wallet payments (such as Apple Pay and Google Pay) where available at checkout.
Do I need an account to order?
No. Guest checkout is available on every order. Creating an account is optional and simply makes reordering and tracking easier.
Do you offer discount codes?
Yes — active promotions are announced in the banner at the top of the site and through our email list. Enter your code at checkout; discounts apply before shipping thresholds are calculated.
Is my payment information secure?
Yes. The entire site is encrypted with 256-bit SSL, and card data is handled directly by our PCI-compliant payment processor. TrueBond Labs never sees or stores your full card number.
Shipping & Returns
Where do you ship?
We ship to addresses within the United States only. We do not ship internationally at this time.

How fast do orders ship?

How do I track my order?
You'll receive an email with your UPS tracking number the moment your order ships, so you can follow it door to door.
