Frequently Asked Question

Find answers regarding shipping, storage, product purity, and research guidelines.

What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of two or more amino acids (typically 2-50) that act as building blocks for proteins like collagen and elastin. As essential signaling molecules, they tell cells to perform functions like producing collagen, reducing inflammation, or regulating hormones.

In what form are your peptides supplied?

Our peptides are supplied as lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in sterile, sealed glass vials. This form ensures maximum stability and shelf life. Each vial is individually labeled with the compound name, batch number, and quantity.

Storage and shelf life

Unreconstituted peptides should be stored at -20°C for long-term storage or 2-8°C (refrigerated) for short-term use. Once reconstituted, peptides should be stored at 2-8°C and used within 30 days. Proper storage ensures potency and stability throughout the shelf life.

What is reconstitution solution?

Reconstitution solution is sterile water that contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. It is used to reconstitute lyophilized peptides for research applications. The benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth, allowing the solution to be used for multiple withdrawals.

What does third-party testing mean?

Third-party testing means an independent, accredited laboratory — not affiliated with Velari — performs the analytical testing. This ensures unbiased, objective results for identity, purity, and contaminant screening.

What is a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?

A COA is a document issued by the testing laboratory that reports the results of all analytical tests performed on a specific batch. It includes purity percentage, identity confirmation, and any contaminant screening results.

What testing parameters are evaluated before release?

Each batch undergoes identity verification, purity analysis via HPLC, endotoxin screening via LAL testing, and sterility documentation. Results are published on the Certificate of Analysis (COA) available for each product.

What purity level do your products meet?

All Velari products meet a minimum purity threshold of 99% as verified by HPLC analysis. Many products exceed this baseline. Exact purity percentages are documented on each batch-specific COA.

What does "research use only" mean?

Research use only (RUO) means these products are intended exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and scientific study. They are not intended for human or animal consumption, therapeutic use, or diagnostic purposes.

Are your products FDA-approved?

No. Our products are research chemicals and are not FDA-approved drugs. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease. Velari Labs is a research chemical supplier, not a compounding pharmacy.

Who can purchase from Velari?

Our products are available to qualified researchers, academic institutions, and laboratories. Purchasers must be affiliated with a legitimate research organization. By placing an order, you confirm that products will be used exclusively for lawful research purposes.

What purity level do your products meet?

All Velari products meet a minimum purity threshold of 99% as verified by HPLC analysis. Many products exceed this baseline. Exact purity percentages are documented on each batch-specific COA.
