Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ordering research peptides from BioInfinity — shipping, third-party COA verification, storage, payment, returns, and compliance.
Ordering
How do I place an order?▾
Add products to your cart from any product or /buy-*-usa page, then click the cart icon. You'll be walked through shipping details, compliance acknowledgement, and payment. The whole flow typically takes 90 seconds.
Do I need to create an account to order?▾
No — guest checkout is available for Zelle, Venmo, and Cash App orders. Card orders require a lightweight account (email + password) per our processor's compliance rules.
What is the minimum order?▾
There is no minimum. Every product is available in individual vials.
Can I combine multiple products in one order?▾
Yes. Add any combination of research peptides to a single cart. Bulk pricing and free-shipping thresholds apply to the combined order value.
Do you offer professional / institutional accounts?▾
Yes. Professional accounts qualify for tiered volume discounts. Register via /account or e-mail research@bioinfinity.co with your institution and PO details.
Can I get a purchase order (PO) invoice for an institution?▾
Yes — contact research@bioinfinity.co with your institution name, PO number, and the products/quantities you need. We'll generate a formal invoice.
Shipping
How fast do orders ship?▾
Orders placed by 3:00 PM ET Monday–Friday ship the same day from our Manhattan facility. Weekend orders ship the following Monday.
What shipping methods are available?▾
USPS Priority (2–3 business days, tracked) and UPS Ground (3–5 days). UPS Next-Day Air is available on request at checkout.
How much does shipping cost?▾
Flat-rate USPS Priority within the 50 US states, Puerto Rico, and US Virgin Islands. Free shipping on orders over $200. Exact rate is calculated at checkout based on destination.
Do you ship to the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico?▾
Yes — flat-rate USPS Priority ($12.99) applies. Delivery timeline is typically 3–5 business days.
Do you ship internationally?▾
Domestic shipping only by default. International shipments are evaluated case-by-case and require additional documentation — e-mail research@bioinfinity.co with your destination for a quote.
Do you use cold-chain packaging?▾
Yes — cold-chain packaging with insulated liners and gel packs is included on any transit route or peptide that requires it. There is no additional charge.
How is the shipment packaged?▾
Discreet plain unbranded outer box. The shipping label carries only the address and standard postal markings. No mention of the contents on the outside.
What if my shipment arrives damaged or thawed?▾
Contact research@bioinfinity.co within 48 hours of delivery with a photo of the damage. We'll ship a free replacement same-day at no cost to you.
Purity, Testing & COA
How pure are BioInfinity peptides?▾
Every peptide we ship is ≥99% pure by reverse-phase HPLC (area under the 214 nm peak), identity-confirmed by ESI mass spectrometry (within ±0.5 Da of theoretical), and endotoxin-tested below 0.5 EU/mg by LAL assay.
Who does the third-party testing?▾
Verum Analytics, a contract-testing laboratory in Bern, Switzerland. Every batch we release goes to Verum for HPLC purity + MS identity confirmation. The resulting COA is signed and dated.
Can I see the Certificate of Analysis (COA) before I buy?▾
Yes — every batch's COA is publicly browsable in /coa-library. No login required, no email gate. If a supplier will not show you a COA before purchase, that is a red flag.
How do I verify the COA for the specific vial I received?▾
Every vial carries a batch verification code on the label. Enter it at /coa-library and it resolves to the exact PDF for that lot — signed by Verum Analytics, dated, and matched to your batch number.
What happens if a batch fails a release-gate test?▾
It is rejected and does not ship. Failed batches are physically destroyed and a new synthesis is queued. We do not repackage failed lots or ship batches that do not meet our ≥99% purity gate.
Is a printed COA included with my shipment?▾
Yes — a batch-matched printed Certificate of Analysis is included in every box. The same PDF is also downloadable from /coa-library at any time.
Storage & Handling
How should I store lyophilized peptides?▾
Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides are stable refrigerated at 2–8 °C for normal-use timeframes and long-term at −20 °C protected from light and moisture.
What is the shelf life of a lyophilized peptide?▾
Under the recommended storage conditions (−20 °C protected from light), the shelf life is typically documented in the peptide literature as ≥24 months for the majority of sequences we supply. The COA that ships with your batch prints the specific expiry date.
What happens if a peptide is stored above 2–8 °C briefly?▾
Brief transient warming during shipment (up to a few days at room temperature) is generally not an issue for lyophilized peptides — that is why they are freeze-dried. Sustained warm storage over weeks can lead to degradation, though. When in doubt, refrigerate or freeze on arrival.
How should reconstituted peptides be stored?▾
Once reconstituted (typically with bacteriostatic water for laboratory use), refrigerate at 2–8 °C and use within 3–4 weeks per general peptide-handling literature. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
What is the vial made of?▾
Type-I borosilicate glass with a butyl rubber septum and aluminium crimp seal. Standard research-peptide vial packaging.
Payment
What payment methods do you accept?▾
Credit/debit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, USDC stablecoin, and wire transfer for institutional orders.
Which payment method is fastest to clear?▾
Zelle typically clears fastest and is the most common payment method our repeat customers use. Card orders clear immediately but are subject to processor review windows.
Do you accept cryptocurrency?▾
Yes — USDC stablecoin via our hosted 3thix checkout, on Ethereum, Polygon, or Base networks. Payment settles in ~5 minutes.
Is my payment information secure?▾
Yes. Card payments are processed through PCI-DSS compliant processors — we do not store card numbers on our servers. Zelle, Venmo, and Cash App payments never touch our systems at all.
Do you offer refunds?▾
Unopened, cold-chain-intact vials can be returned within 14 days of delivery for a refund minus return shipping. Opened vials are non-returnable due to the nature of the product.
Compliance & Legal
Are BioInfinity peptides FDA-approved?▾
No. BioInfinity peptides are not FDA-approved for any therapeutic indication. They are supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research use only and are not intended for human or veterinary use.
Is it legal to purchase research peptides in the USA?▾
Yes — research chemicals sold for in-vitro laboratory use are legal to purchase in the United States when properly labeled as "for research use only" and not intended for human consumption.
Do I need a research license to order?▾
No specific license is required for the compounds we supply. All customers must confirm at checkout that products are for laboratory research use only.
Are any of your peptides scheduled substances?▾
No — none of the research peptides in our catalog are DEA-scheduled controlled substances at time of writing.
How is my personal information handled?▾
We collect only what is required to process and ship your order. See /privacy-policy for full details. We never sell or share your information with third parties for marketing.
