Frequently Asked Questions


Are your products third-party tested?

Yes. Every product batch is tested by an independent laboratory, and purity results are made available so researchers can verify quality before use.


How quickly do orders ship?

Orders are typically processed and shipped within 1-3 business days. You will receive a tracking number by email once your order ships. Orders over $150 qualify for free shipping.


How should peptides be stored?

Lyophilized peptides should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct light, and refrigerated or frozen once reconstituted, per standard laboratory handling practices.


What if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?

Contact us at ascendlabz@gmail.com within 14 days of delivery with photos of the item and packaging, and we will make it right.


Do you ship internationally?

We ship to many international destinations. Customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or import restrictions in their own country.


How can I reach you?

Email ascendlabz@gmail.com or call (720) 781-9031. We typically respond within 1-2 business days.

 

How do I reconstitute a lyophilized peptide?

Using a sterile syringe, draw the appropriate volume of bacteriostatic water and inject it slowly down the side of the vial rather than directly onto the powder, to avoid excess agitation. Gently swirl (do not shake) until the powder is fully dissolved. This should always be done in a controlled laboratory setting with proper sterile technique.

 

How long does a peptide last once reconstituted?

This varies by compound, but as a general laboratory practice, reconstituted peptides should be kept refrigerated (not frozen) and used within your lab's validated stability window -- commonly two to four weeks for most compounds. Discard any solution that appears cloudy, discolored, or has been left at room temperature for an extended period.

 

How do I know which compound is right for my research?

Each product page lists the research context and mechanism of action for that compound. If you're comparing multiple compounds for a specific study -- for example, GHRH analogs like CJC-1295 and Sermorelin, or the GLP-1 family (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Retatrutide) -- feel free to email us at ascendlabz@gmail.com with your research goal and we're happy to point you to the relevant literature.
