FAQ — Research Peptides (RUO)

RUO means a product is intended exclusively for in vitro and preclinical laboratory research by qualified professionals. RUO products are not approved for, and must not be used for, human or veterinary administration, diagnosis, or treatment. See our full explanation at /what-is-ruo.

No. All products sold by ACCUTIDE Research Supply are strictly for laboratory research use only. They are not drugs, supplements, or medical treatments. Using research peptides on humans or animals is outside the scope of our products and contrary to our terms of sale.

Our products are intended for qualified researchers, laboratory professionals, and institutions conducting preclinical research. Purchasers must be 21 years of age or older and must agree to the RUO terms at checkout.

No. We do not provide dosing guidance, administration instructions, or research protocols of any kind. These are research-grade compounds requiring professional handling by qualified scientists.

Yes, for qualified research institutions and bulk orders. Contact us through the contact page to discuss pricing and volume arrangements.

Yes. Every batch is third-party tested by an independent laboratory for purity (≥98% HPLC) and a batch COA is published for it. See our COA policy at /coa.

HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) is the industry standard analytical method for measuring peptide purity. A purity of ≥98% HPLC means at least 98% of the measured compound is the target peptide, with less than 2% impurities. See /how-to-read-a-coa for more detail.

Yes. Contact us with the product name and we can share batch COA documentation before you place an order.

Yes. We ship Canada-wide. Shipping time is 1–5 business days for most provinces and 5–7 business days for BC, Newfoundland and Labrador, and remote areas, in double tamper-proof packaging.

Shipping is a $25 flat rate, Canada-wide, on every order. It is waived automatically once your product subtotal reaches $300 — so orders of $300 or more ship free. The $300 is measured on your product total after any volume discount and before tax is added, meaning an order of exactly $300 in product qualifies.

Before. Tax is calculated after shipping is determined, so it does not count toward the $300. If your product subtotal is $300 or more, shipping is free. The tax rate applied at checkout depends on your province: Ontario orders are charged 13% HST; Nova Scotia is charged 14% HST; New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and PEI are charged 15% HST; all other provinces are charged 5% GST (federal only — your province may collect provincial tax separately).

All peptide orders are shipped in double tamper-proof professional packaging.

Currently we ship within Canada only. Contact us if you have specific international inquiries.

Store at −20°C in a dry environment, away from moisture and UV light. Lyophilized peptides are stable at this temperature for extended periods.
