How do I place a research peptide order with NovaPep?
Browse a category or search by compound name, pick the fill you want, then add it to the cart together with any syringes or diluent. During checkout you confirm that you are 18 or older and agree to the research use terms, and then the order goes through. You can look around the range and read certificates without creating an account.
What should a new lab order first?
A typical first order is a single, well-studied compound plus its diluent. BPC-157 is the repair peptide we sell most, the GHK-Cu Starter Kit bundles a vial, a syringe and bacteriostatic water in one box, and the kits and bundles range offers further ready-made sets. For a tour of the catalogue by research area, see the peptides for sale overview.
Is there somewhere to buy peptides near me rather than online?
Research peptides are not carried by pharmacies or local stores. NovaPep keeps its whole range in Australian stock and sells online to researchers across the country, which means there is no shop to track down. Your lab gets the same lots and certificates no matter where it is located.
Can I order in bulk?
You can. Resellers and labs ordering larger volumes can ask for a written quote via the wholesale page, and single vials remain available through the regular shop.

Where can I find the COA for the vial I bought?
Take the lot number from the vial label and look for the matching report in the COA library. If that lot has no report showing yet, email us the product and lot code and we will send you the certificate.
Why is the lot number so important?
Each certificate applies only to the lot that was actually tested. When the number on your vial does not match the number on the report, the report tells you nothing about the vial in front of you. Our guide on reading a certificate of analysis covers the remaining sections.

What does bacteriostatic water do?
It is sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol added, and labs use it to dissolve lyophilised peptide. Because the benzyl alcohol holds back bacterial growth, one vial can be drawn from repeatedly for around 28 days. Our bacteriostatic water comes in 3 mL, 10 mL and 30 mL vials, each sold with or without a syringe.
Is sterile water an acceptable substitute?
It works for one draw. Sterile water contains no preservative, however, so bacteria can grow once the stopper is punctured. For a vial that will be accessed over several days, labs normally choose bacteriostatic water.
Why would a lab choose 0.6% acetic acid?
Certain peptides do not dissolve well in neutral water and remain in solution more reliably in a weak acid. For those compounds, labs reach for 0.6% acetic acid as the diluent. Read the solubility notes for the individual peptide before deciding.
How many units make up 1 mL on a U-100 syringe?
There are one hundred, so 0.1 mL equals 10 units and 0.5 mL equals 50 units. Start by working out the concentration, which is milligrams in the vial divided by millilitres of diluent, then convert the volume you need into units. Let the peptide calculator handle the maths.

Should a lab order BPC 157 or TB-500?
Neither is better overall, because each is studied for a different mechanism. BPC-157 is a peptide of 15 amino acids taken from a protein found in gastric juice, and TB-500 is a synthetic section of the larger protein thymosin beta-4. To compare the two in a study, order BPC-157 and TB-500 as individual vials. The BPC-157 and TB-500 blend is only sensible when a protocol already specifies both at a set ratio.
What gives GHK-Cu its blue colour?
The copper ion bound to the peptide turns the powder and the solution blue, and that is exactly what you should see. If a GHK-Cu vial held a white cake, the copper complex may be absent, so check that lot against its certificate.
What does CJC-1295 without DAC mean?
Sometimes called Modified GRF (1-29), it is a GHRH analogue that lacks the drug affinity complex. It has a half-life of roughly 30 minutes, compared with around 6 to 8 days for the DAC version. Labs pair this form with ipamorelin more than any other, so we also carry a CJC-1295 and ipamorelin blend.
How do I pick the right MOTS-c size?
We sell MOTS-c in 10 mg, 20 mg and 40 mg vials. Short studies and first orders suit the 10 mg vial. Choose 40 mg only when the reconstituted vial will be finished within roughly 28 days at 2 to 8 °C.
What is SS-31, also known as elamipretide?
SS-31, or elamipretide, is a synthetic tetrapeptide that collects in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it binds to cardiolipin. Researchers study it in models of mitochondrial dysfunction.
How do Selank and Semax differ?
Each is derived from a different parent molecule. Selank is modelled on tuftsin, a fragment of immunoglobulin G, while Semax is modelled on the ACTH 4 to 10 fragment. Since they are researched for separate pathways, plenty of labs buy both.
Can I buy peptide capsules or nasal sprays?
For some compounds, yes. Besides vials, Selank, Semax and DSIP are sold as 10 mL nasal sprays, and BPC-157 and SLU-PP-332 come in 60-capsule packs too.
What separates the GLOW and KLOW blends?
GLOW is a 70 mg vial that combines GHK-Cu, BPC-157 and TB-500. KLOW is an 80 mg vial containing the same three plus KPV.
Is thymosin alpha-1 the same as TB-500?
No. Thymosin alpha-1 is a peptide of 28 amino acids originally isolated from thymus tissue and researched in immunology. TB-500 comes from an entirely different protein, thymosin beta-4.
What are KPV, Epitalon and DSIP?
KPV, or lysine-proline-valine, is made up of the three C-terminal residues of alpha-MSH and is studied for anti-inflammatory activity. Epitalon is the tetrapeptide Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, which grew out of research on the pineal extract epithalamin. DSIP, short for delta sleep-inducing peptide, is a nonapeptide that was first isolated in 1977.

Peptide FAQ Australia: Buying, Testing and Storage Answers FAQ
Where should I buy research peptides in Australia?
Order online from NovaPep, which keeps its research peptides in stock here in Australia. The catalogue spans recovery, growth hormone, metabolic, immune, skin, longevity and nootropic compounds, along with blends and lab supplies like bacteriostatic water, and you can open each lot's certificate in the COA library before buying.
Does NovaPep test its peptides in a lab?
It does. Before any lot is offered for sale, an independent laboratory confirms its identity by mass spectrometry and measures its purity by HPLC. Each vial label carries a lot number that matches its certificate of analysis, and all reports are posted in our COA library for you to review before you order.
What does research use only mean when buying peptides?
The products are sold for laboratory and in-vitro research, not as supplements, cosmetics or medicines. The TGA has not approved them, and they must not be used in humans or animals. Every buyer must be 18 or over and confirms at checkout that the purchase is for research. Full details are in our research use policy.
