Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about our products, verification system, and policies.
General
What are research peptides?
Research peptides are short chains of amino acids used exclusively for scientific research and laboratory experimentation. They are not intended for human consumption, clinical use, or as dietary supplements.
Are your products FDA-approved?
No. Research peptides are exempt from FDA regulation as finished drug products under 21 CFR Parts 100–740, and Aura Peptide products have not been evaluated by the FDA for any purpose.
Who can purchase from Aura Peptide?
Licensed researchers, scientific institutions, qualified laboratory professionals, and individuals conducting legitimate in-vitro research. All purchasers must be at least 21 years of age.
Where do you ship?
We currently ship within the United States only. Contact us if you have a specific international research arrangement and we will evaluate it case by case.
Quality and testing
What purity do you guarantee?
All Aura Peptide products are tested at ≥99% purity by HPLC, with identity confirmed by mass spectrometry. The exact result for your batch is recorded on its Certificate of Analysis.
Do you provide Certificates of Analysis?
Yes. A batch-level Certificate of Analysis is generated for every lot, documenting the HPLC purity result, mass spec identity confirmation, and the testing laboratory. COAs are available on request with your order reference.
Who tests your products?
Independent third-party laboratories operating under cGMP-aligned protocols perform identity, purity, and contaminant testing. We do not rely on in-house certificates alone.
Verification codes
How does the verification code work?
Every Aura Peptide unit ships with a unique code in the format AURA-XXXX-XXXX. Enter it on our validation page to confirm the product is genuine and view its batch information.
What if my code was already validated?
Each code can only be validated once. If a second validation is attempted, the system returns a counterfeit warning. This protects you from copycat material bearing a code stolen from a legitimate unit. Contact us if you did not perform the original validation.
What if I lost my code?
Reach out to us with your order reference and we will verify the purchase on our end. We can confirm authenticity even without the original code, but we cannot regenerate a new code for the same physical unit.
Ordering and payment
How do I place an order?
Use the contact form to send your institution, the compounds you need, and approximate quantity. We reply with availability, pricing, and a quote within one business day.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit cards, ACH bank transfer for institutional buyers, and cryptocurrency for qualifying orders. Specific methods available are listed on each quote.
Storage and handling
How should I store the product?
Store lyophilised (freeze-dried) material at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, keep the solution at 2–8 °C and use it within the timeframe noted on the product datasheet.
What is the shelf life?
Properly stored lyophilised peptides remain stable for 2–3 years from the manufacturing date. Reconstituted solutions should be used within 30 days when refrigerated.
Can you provide reconstitution or handling guidance?
We cannot provide specific research protocols or dosing recommendations. General storage and handling guidance is included with each shipment, and the compound information sheet documents what is known from published literature.
Legal and compliance
Are these products legal?
Yes. Research peptides are legal to purchase and possess for laboratory research by qualified individuals. By placing an order you confirm that you are acquiring the material for legitimate in-vitro research use.
Is there an age requirement?
Yes. All purchasers must be at least 21 years of age. This is a strict requirement — orders from anyone younger cannot be accepted.
Can I use these products for personal use?
No. Aura Peptide products are sold strictly for in-vitro research and laboratory experimentation. They are not for human or animal consumption, clinical use, diagnostic use, or as dietary supplements. See our full Terms of Service for the acceptable-use policy.
