Common Questions

Quick answers about ordering, shipping, purity verification, and product use. Don't see your question? Email us — we respond within one business day.

How quickly do orders ship?
Orders placed before 5:00 PM CT ship same business day via UPS from our Minneapolis facility. Orders after cutoff or on weekends ship the next business day. Tracking is emailed automatically the moment your label prints.
How is purity verified?
Every lot is independently tested via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and confirmed at ≥99% purity by Horizon Analytical, an accredited third-party lab. Mass spectrometry confirms molecular identity. Batch-specific Certificates of Analysis are available on our COA library and on request.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard) and Apple Pay, processed securely through our payment gateway. Bank transfer and cryptocurrency are also available on request — email [email protected] for instructions.
How should peptides be stored?
Lyophilized (unreconstituted) vials are stable at room temperature for shipping and can be stored long-term in a freezer (-4°F / -20°C). Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep refrigerated at 36–46°F (2–8°C) and use within ~60 days.
What is the standard reconstitution ratio?
Common research protocols reference 2mL of bacteriostatic water per 10mg of peptide, producing a 5 mg/mL concentration. Use our reconstitution calculator at /reconstitution/ for any specific dose calculations. Always consult published literature for your specific research protocol.
Is this product for personal use?
No. All products sold by Matte Protocol are strictly for laboratory research use only. They are not approved for human consumption, veterinary use, or as food additives. By purchasing, you confirm you are a qualified researcher over 18.
Do you ship internationally?
At this time we ship within the continental United States only via UPS.
What if my order arrives damaged?
If vials arrive cracked, leaking, or compromised, email [email protected] within 48 hours of delivery with photos of the package and damaged vials. We resolve damage claims within 3 business days.
Can I cancel my order?
Orders may be cancelled only before they ship (typically within 1 hour of placement during business hours). Email [email protected] immediately if you need to cancel.
Do you offer refunds?
Due to the nature of research compounds, all sales are final. Damage claims and wrong-product errors are reviewed case-by-case. See our refund policy at /refund-policy/ for full details.
What is bacteriostatic water?
BAC water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which inhibits bacterial growth. It allows reconstituted peptide to remain stable for up to 60 days when refrigerated. We sell BAC water in 3mL and 10mL sizes.
How do I get a Certificate of Analysis?
Browse our entire COA library at /coas/ for purity and endotoxin reports on every product. Need a batch-specific COA matching your lot number? Email [email protected] with your order number — we send within 24 hours.
