Institutional supply
Laboratory peptide supplier
Buying research material inside an institution is a different problem from buying it as an individual. The compound is the easy part; the quotation, the purchase order, the supplier registration and the goods-in reconciliation are what actually take the time. We are set up for all of it.
- Payment terms
- 30 days against PO

What we can accommodate
Built for procurement, not just for checkout
Everything below is standard rather than a special arrangement. If your process needs something not listed, ask — it is usually straightforward.
Formal quotations
Quotations on letterhead with itemised line pricing, lead times and validity dates — the format a grant application or a procurement portal will accept. Turned around same day in most cases.
Purchase-order terms
30-day terms against a purchase order for institutions, with the PO number carried through to the invoice so finance can reconcile without chasing.
Supplier onboarding
We complete supplier questionnaires, insurance and compliance packs, and vendor registration on procurement systems. Send the forms and we will fill them in.
Framework and standing orders
Scheduled deliveries against a standing order, and framework pricing held for the term. Useful where a project needs the same line monthly for two years.
Consolidated invoicing
Monthly consolidated invoicing across multiple orders and multiple cost centres, itemised by PO where your finance team needs the split.
Documentation packs
Every consignment collated with the certificate for each batch and a manifest mapping batch codes to vials, so goods-in can reconcile against the delivery note.
Supplying laboratories and research institutions
Institutional buyers are usually solving for two things a consumer buyer is not: an audit trail, and a process that survives contact with a finance department. A research peptide that arrives on time with an unreadable certificate and no purchase-order reference creates more work than it saves.
Our documentation is built with that in mind. Certificates are batch-specific and published, so a certificate can be retrieved years later from the batch code alone — which matters when a result is queried after the vial has gone. Consignments arrive with a manifest mapping every batch code to the vials supplied, so goods-in can reconcile against the delivery note without opening anything.
Working with principal investigators
Specification questions reach someone technical rather than a sales desk. If a project needs a non-standard fill weight, a tighter purity specification, a specific counter-ion, or a compound outside the catalogue, that is a conversation we can have properly — including saying no where a requirement is not something we can meet.
Grant timelines
Quotations can be issued with extended validity where a funding decision is months away, and we will hold quoted pricing to that date. Where a project needs the same line delivered on a schedule across a multi-year award, a standing order against framework pricing is the usual arrangement, with reserved stock so allocation is not sold elsewhere.
What we will not do
We will not supply material as fit for human or veterinary use, provide dosing or administration guidance, or represent research-grade material as pharmaceutical grade. If a project requires GMP material, we are not the right supplier and will say so rather than sell you something that does not meet the need.
Procurement questions
- Do you supply universities and hospital research groups?
- Yes, and it is a substantial part of what we do. We deliver to university departments, hospital research units and institute addresses, and we are set up for the procurement processes that come with them — POs, formal quotations, supplier registration and consolidated invoicing.
- Can you provide a quotation for a grant application?
- Yes. Send the compounds and quantities and we will issue a formal quotation on letterhead with itemised pricing, lead times and a validity date. Most go out the same day. If the grant timeline is long, tell us and we will set the validity accordingly.
- Will you complete our supplier questionnaire?
- Yes. Send whatever your procurement team requires — supplier questionnaires, insurance certificates, compliance declarations, vendor registration forms — and we will complete and return them.
- Can we order against a purchase order?
- Yes, on 30-day terms for institutions. The PO number is carried through to the invoice and onto the packing documentation so it reconciles at both ends.
- What documentation comes with an institutional order?
- The certificate of analysis for every batch in the consignment, a packing manifest mapping each batch code to the vials supplied, the delivery note, and a safety data sheet where one applies to the compound. All of it collated rather than sent separately.
- Is VAT charged?
- Prices are quoted ex VAT and UK VAT is added at the prevailing rate. Institutions with a valid exemption should send the documentation with the order and we will apply it. EU customers with a valid VAT number are invoiced without VAT under the reverse-charge procedure.
- Can you hold stock for a project?
- Yes. Nominated lines can be reserved against your account so allocation is not sold from general stock. This is part of a trade account and is the usual arrangement for multi-year projects.

Send us the list and we will quote it
Compounds, quantities, delivery address and whether you need purchase-order terms. A formal quotation usually comes back the same day, and any procurement paperwork with it.
