Frequently Asked Questions
Bluewell Peptides FAQ
Answers on products, COAs, storage, ordering, and delivery. Clear policies. Solid SEO.
Compliance: Bluewell supplies research-grade peptides as lyophilised powders for laboratory research only. Not for human or veterinary use, ingestion, or injection. We do not sell prefilled pens, syringes, needles, or any injection devices. Research use only.
What are peptides?
Peptides are short amino acid sequences. Researchers use them to study pathways, receptors, and cell mechanisms with high specificity. Research use only.
Are peptides safe?
In laboratory models, research-grade peptides used at appropriate concentrations are generally well tolerated. Safety depends on the compound, dose, solvent, and design. Use SOPs and risk assessments. Not for human consumption. Research use only.
Why are most research peptides not FDA approved?
FDA approval applies to medicines. Research-use peptides are not marketed as medicines. Approval needs multi-phase clinical trials to prove safety and efficacy for a medical claim. Research use only.
Do you advise on administration or dosing?
No. We do not provide guidance on administration, dosing, or human use. We do not sell injection devices. Research use only.
Why are peptides supplied as powder?
Lyophilised powder improves stability and shelf life. Dry form limits hydrolysis and microbial growth. Researchers reconstitute with appropriate solvents as per SOPs. Research use only.
Research peptides explained
Research peptides are used to study repair, regeneration, metabolism, and signalling in controlled models. Products ship with batch COAs. Research use only.
What makes Bluewell different?
Transparent COAs. Batch consistency. Clear documentation. UK fulfilment with tracked delivery. Research use only.
Are Bluewell products for human use?
No. Products are supplied for laboratory research only. Not for human or veterinary use, ingestion, or injection. Research use only.
What does COA-verified mean?
Each batch has a Certificate of Analysis confirming identity and purity, typically by HPLC and MS. COAs are published per lot. Research use only.
Do your peptides contain mannitol?
Some lots include mannitol to protect structure during freeze-drying and aid handling. See the COA for details. Research use only.
How do I confirm authenticity?
Match the vial lot, COA, identifiers, and specs. Check sequence and analytical data. Research use only.

Bacteriostatic Water 10 mL, sterile solvent
Sterile diluent with 0.9 percent benzyl alcohol used to reconstitute lyophilised peptides under lab SOPs. Research use only.
How should I store peptides?
Keep lyophilised vials cool, dry, and protected from light. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze. Minimise temperature swings and freeze-thaw cycles. Research use only.
Why reconstitution matters
Correct reconstitution preserves integrity and reduces aggregation or contamination. Follow SOPs. Research use only.
How to reconstitute, quick start
Let vial and solvent reach room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. Disinfect stoppers. Add 1 to 3 mL bacteriostatic water slowly down the vial wall. Swirl gently. Do not shake. Store at 2 to 8 °C. Use the Bluewell Peptide Calculator for planning. Research use only.
Best solvents
Bacteriostatic water is standard for multi-withdrawal vials. Sterile Water for Injection is for immediate single-use preparations. Some labs use dilute acetic acid per SOP for difficult dissolutions. Research use only.
Storing unmixed powder
- Freezer, about −20 °C, long term.
- Fridge, 2 to 8 °C, medium term, sealed.
- Room temperature, short handling only.
- Keep sealed and away from light and moisture.
Storing reconstituted solution
Refrigerate at 2 to 8 °C. For longer horizons, aliquot and freeze to avoid repeat freeze-thaw. Use a suitable cryoprotectant if freezing. Research use only.
Typical stability
Refrigerated solutions are often used within 3 to 6 weeks, with 4 weeks a practical limit in many labs. Frozen aliquots last longer per protocol. Research use only.
Common mistakes
- Using tap or boiled water.
- Shaking or vortexing.
- Skipping temperature equilibration.
- Reusing needles or over-puncturing stoppers.
- Repeating freeze-thaw on one vial.
Do you provide Certificates of Analysis?
Yes. Every batch has a COA with identity and purity data. View COAs on product pages or the Lab Certificates page. Research use only.
