Frequently asked questions
What information do you need to start a project?
A target sequence or name, the required quantity, a purity target and any modification or format preferences. Missing details can be discussed during feasibility review.
What scale can a custom project cover?
Projects are typically scoped from milligram quantities for early feasibility work up to gram-scale batches, depending on the sequence.
What purity targets are available?
Targets of approximately 95%, 98% and 99% can be discussed; the practical target for a given sequence is confirmed after feasibility review.
Can you make modified peptides?
Modification requests, such as terminal groups, cyclisation or labelling, are reviewed individually and confirmed on inquiry, since feasibility depends on the sequence.
Do you supply powder or solution?
Both formats can be discussed. The practical option for a given project is confirmed once the specification and scale are agreed.
How is my sequence kept confidential?
Submitted sequences and project details are handled in confidence and used only to plan and carry out the requested project.
What does the analytical report include?
A project report brings together the confirmed specification, an RP-HPLC purity result and a mass spectrometry identity check for the finished batch.
How long does a custom project take?
Lead time depends on sequence complexity and scale, and is confirmed once feasibility review and quotation are complete.
Is the material suitable for human or animal use?
No. All custom and catalogue materials supplied by Peptamer are intended for laboratory research use only.
