Common questions from researchers about our research-grade peptides, ordering, shipping, laboratory handling, and research use policies.
All compounds supplied by Ascend Labs Canada are intended strictly for in vitro laboratory research purposes and are not for human or veterinary use.
Research-grade peptides are high-purity peptide reference materials supplied for in vitro laboratory study. They are characterized for identity and purity to support scientific research and laboratory evaluation.
They are not drugs, supplements, or food products and are intended solely for laboratory research.
Yes. Every product sold by Ascend Labs Canada is supplied strictly as a Research Use Only (RUO) reference material.
Our products are not approved for human consumption, veterinary use, clinical practice, therapeutic application, or administration to living organisms.
Yes. Ascend Labs Canada ships research-grade peptides throughout Canada.
By placing an order, you confirm that the products are being purchased for legitimate laboratory research purposes and that your intended use complies with applicable Canadian laws and regulations.
Yes. Every batch supplied by Ascend Labs Canada undergoes quality testing before being released for sale.
Our quality assurance process includes analytical testing to verify identity, purity, batch specifications, and consistency.
All products are supplied strictly for in vitro laboratory research purposes and are not intended for human or veterinary use.
Lyophilized (unreconstituted) peptides should generally be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct light and moisture. For longer-term storage, refrigeration or freezing may help preserve product stability prior to reconstitution.
Once a peptide has been reconstituted, it should be refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C and handled using appropriate laboratory practices to minimize contamination.
Stability varies by compound, but reconstituted peptides are generally recommended for use within 30 to 60 days when properly refrigerated. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as these may affect peptide stability over time.
Storage recommendations are provided for laboratory handling only and should not be interpreted as instructions for human or veterinary use.
Reconstitution is the laboratory process of dissolving a lyophilized peptide using an appropriate research solvent prior to in vitro experimentation.
Ascend Labs Canada provides general laboratory handling information only. No dosing, administration, or therapeutic guidance is provided.
In vitro refers to experiments conducted outside a living organism, such as cell culture or controlled laboratory assays.
All Ascend Labs Canada products are supplied exclusively for this type of scientific research. They are not approved for human use, veterinary use, medical treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of disease.
Our catalogue includes a growing selection of research-grade peptide reference materials.
Current availability, strengths, and product specifications are listed in our online catalogue.
Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days after payment has been received.
All orders are shipped from within Canada using discreet packaging. Delivery times vary by destination and carrier. Orders are shipped within Canada only.
No. None of our products are pharmaceuticals, medications, or dietary supplements.
They have not been evaluated or approved by Health Canada or any regulatory authority for human consumption, veterinary use, or therapeutic application. They are supplied exclusively for laboratory research purposes.
