Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our research compounds, ordering process, and laboratory standards.

๐Ÿงช Products & Research

What research compounds do you currently offer?
We currently specialize in Retatrutide, the groundbreaking triple-receptor agonist available in research-grade concentrations:
  • Retatrutide 10mg - Precision-dosed for dose-escalation research protocols
  • Retatrutide 20mg - Higher concentration for advanced research applications
  • Bacteriostatic Water with 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol - Pharmaceutical-grade reconstitution solution
Expanding the Standard: We're systematically building a comprehensive research compound portfolio that meets the rigorous demands researchers deserve. Our expansion follows strict quality protocols to ensure every new compound maintains our unwavering commitment to purity and scientific integrity.
What is Retatrutide and what makes it unique?
Retatrutide (LY-3437943) is a novel triple-receptor agonist that targets:
  • GLP-1 receptors - Glucose regulation and appetite control
  • GIP receptors - Incretin hormone pathway
  • Glucagon receptors - Energy expenditure and fat metabolism
Unlike existing compounds that target only one or two receptors, Retatrutide's triple-action mechanism represents cutting-edge research in metabolic pathway modulation.
Research Use Only: All compounds are intended strictly for laboratory research and in-vitro studies. Not approved for human consumption or medical applications.
How do I verify the quality and purity of your compounds?
Every batch undergoes our rigorous dual-verification protocol that sets the industry standard:
  • Independent Third-Party Verification - Janoshik Analytical Laboratory (EU) for comprehensive analysis
  • Domestic Laboratory Confirmation - Additional verification through accredited U.S.-based analytical facilities
  • Transparent Documentation - All COAs posted publicly with batch traceability
We don't rely on assumptions โ€” we validate every step. This dual-laboratory approach ensures reproducibility and gives researchers the confidence that comes from verified, research-grade compounds.
Every certificate includes detailed analytical methods (HPLC, mass spectrometry), purity percentages, and composition verification โ€” because researchers deserve complete transparency about their research tools.
Do you provide reconstitution and handling guidance?
Yes! Each order includes comprehensive documentation:
  • Storage Guidelines - Proper storage conditions for maximum stability
  • Reconstitution Protocol - Step-by-step mixing instructions
  • Sterile Technique Tips - Best practices for contamination prevention
  • Dilution Ratio Calculator - Coming soon on our dedicated research support page

๐Ÿ”ฌ Storage & Handling

How should I store my compounds before reconstitution?
Lyophilized (powder) compounds should be stored:
  • Temperature: Cool environment (room temperature acceptable short-term)
  • Light: Dark location away from direct sunlight
  • Moisture: Dry environment - avoid humidity
  • Long-term: For extended storage, use waterproof container in freezer
Important: Avoid freeze-thaw cycles once frozen, as this can degrade the compound structure.
What happens after I reconstitute the compound?
Post-reconstitution storage:
  • Refrigeration Required: Store in refrigerator (2-8ยฐC / 36-46ยฐF)
  • Stability Period: Approximately 30 days when properly stored
  • Sterile Technique: Always use sterile practices to extend viability
  • Container: Keep in sterile vial with rubber stopper
Proper sterile technique during each use significantly extends the compound's stability beyond the standard 30-day guideline.
Do you provide reconstitution instructions?
Yes! Every order includes detailed reconstitution guidance covering:
  • Dilution ratios for different research concentrations
  • Step-by-step mixing protocol
  • Sterile technique best practices
  • Equipment recommendations
We're also developing an online dilution calculator and comprehensive reconstitution guide on our website.
Why is sterile technique important for research compounds?
Sterile technique is crucial for:
  • Preventing contamination that could compromise research results
  • Maintaining compound integrity and extending viability
  • Ensuring reproducible results in research protocols
  • Laboratory safety standards compliance
Our included documentation provides detailed sterile technique protocols specifically for peptide research applications.
