Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often from research organizations evaluating KB2 Research as a supplier — testing and documentation, account and ordering requirements, shipping, storage, and terms of sale. If your question isn't covered here, contact us at info@kb2researchpeptides.com.
Are KB2 Research peptides third-party tested?
Yes. Every product is third-party tested rather than relying solely on internal quality control, which keeps the party selling the material separate from the party verifying it. A certificate of analysis (COA) is available per lot, so a research organization can review the testing data tied to the specific material it received.
What is a certificate of analysis (COA), and how do I get one?
A certificate of analysis is the documentation from third-party testing for a specific lot of material — it's the authoritative record of that lot's characterization, not a generic product spec sheet. Because COAs are lot-specific, documentation can vary between shipments of the same compound. To request the COA for your order, contact info@kb2researchpeptides.com with your order details.
What purity do KB2 Research products meet?
Where verified by third-party testing, materials meet or exceed 99% purity. We describe this as "≥99% where verified" rather than a fixed number, because the accurate purity figure for any given lot is the one reported on that lot's certificate of analysis — not a marketing average applied across every batch.
Do I need an account to order?
Yes. Purchasing from KB2 Research requires a registered account; there is no guest checkout. Account creation asks for your organization's name and a description of its research use, and both fields must be completed before checkout becomes available.
Why do you require a company name and description of research use?
This is how we confirm that an order is being placed by a research organization for research purposes, rather than a formality we could skip. The information is reviewed as part of how we manage who we sell to, and we reserve the right to decline or cancel an order, or request additional information, where we're unable to confirm that an order is consistent with research use.
Who can order from KB2 Research?
We sell exclusively to professional research organizations — laboratories, contract research entities, and institutional buyers conducting in vitro or non-human research. Typical accounts represent a principal investigator, a lab manager, or a graduate researcher ordering on behalf of a research group.
Can I order as an individual for personal use?
No. KB2 Research does not sell for personal, therapeutic, or veterinary use, and our account and ordering process is built around confirming research-organization use rather than retail convenience. All products are supplied strictly for laboratory research use only.
Where do orders ship from, and how long does shipping take?
Orders are fulfilled from within the United States, which keeps lead times predictable. Once an order is placed and cleared for fulfillment, it ships in 1–2 business days.
Will I get tracking information for my order?
Yes. Shipment notifications, including tracking information, are sent to the email address on your account once your order ships.
Do you ship internationally?
KB2 Research is a US-based supplier, and our standard fulfillment is to US addresses. If your organization is located outside the US or has a shipping question specific to your order, contact info@kb2researchpeptides.com before placing your order to confirm we can accommodate it.
How are packages shipped — is the packaging discreet?
Packages are shipped in plain, unbranded packaging without a description of the contents on the exterior. This is standard practice for shipments of laboratory reference materials, and it's separate from what's stated on your order confirmation and invoice, which fully describe the products purchased.
What does "research use only" mean?
It means every product on this site is sold strictly for laboratory research use — not as a drug, dietary supplement, or cosmetic ingredient, and not intended, labeled, or sold for human or veterinary use, consumption, or administration in any form. Nothing on this site should be read as a claim that any product diagnoses, treats, cures, prevents, or otherwise affects any disease, condition, or function of the human or animal body. Buyers are responsible for ensuring their use of any product complies with applicable laws and their institution's research protocols.
How should I store the materials I receive?
General handling guidance: lyophilized (freeze-dried) research peptides should be kept sealed in their original vial, shielded from light, and stored refrigerated for near-term use or frozen for longer-term storage. Once reconstituted, a solution should be refrigerated promptly, shielded from light, and used relatively soon, with freeze-thaw cycling minimized. This is general storage guidance for laboratory reference material — it does not address administration, dosing, or use in humans or animals. For lot-specific handling questions, refer to the certificate of analysis or contact us.
What payment methods do you accept?
Accepted payment methods are presented securely at checkout once your account is set up. If you have a payment question specific to your order or organization, contact info@kb2researchpeptides.com.
What if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?
Contact info@kb2researchpeptides.com with your order details as soon as possible if a shipment arrives damaged, incomplete, or otherwise incorrect, and we will work with you to resolve it. Because materials are lot-tested and documented per shipment, having your order number and, where relevant, photos of the received package on hand helps us address the issue quickly.
Do you offer bulk or repeat ordering for research groups?
Ordering works the same way for a single item or a larger research order: browse the catalog, add materials to a cart, and check out through your account. If your research group has a recurring or larger-volume need, contact info@kb2researchpeptides.com and we can discuss what's practical for your organization.
