A guide to peptide pricing
Understanding research peptide prices.
Compare single vials by nominal fill, price per milligram, tax and shipping. The public catalogue sells 1–9 vials per compound.
Examples are in Canadian dollars before tax and shipping. See the catalogue for current prices.
A guide to peptide pricing
Start with the amount
How much peptide is in each vial?
A vial is the small container that holds the peptide. The amount inside is listed in milligrams, abbreviated as mg. You may also see this called the “fill” or “fill size.” A 10 mg vial contains twice the catalog amount of a 5 mg vial, so comparing their prices alone doesn’t give you the full picture.
For the same peptide, consider a 5 mg vial priced at $40 and a 10 mg vial priced at $60. Divide each price by the number of milligrams: $40 ÷ 5 = $8.00 per mg, while $60 ÷ 10 = $6.00 per mg. The 10 mg vial costs more upfront, but its cost per milligram is 25% lower. This gives you a consistent starting point for comparing price; testing information and your research needs still matter.
- Example: 5 mg vial at $40
- $8.00 / mg
- Example: 10 mg vial at $60
- $6.00 / mg
Behind the price
What goes into the price?
The peptide itself is one part of the cost. Preparing, testing, storing, and delivering it also contribute to the price you see.
Production and preparation
Producing the peptide, checking its purity, and preparing it for sale all involve work and materials. Some peptides require more complex production steps. Making larger quantities at once can reduce the production cost per milligram.
Testing and lab reports
Laboratory testing provides information about the material being sold. A certificate of analysis (COA) is the lab report that records the tests and results for a sample. Check which tests were performed and whether the seller publishes results for every lot it may ship; the label on the vial should identify the applicable record.
Storage and delivery
Storage, packaging, and shipping also affect the total cost. For an overseas purchase, check whether currency conversion, import charges, and customs-processing fees are included in the quote. Allow for the delivery time your project needs.
Four things to compare
Nominal fill
Compare the same compound and fill per vial.
Price per milligram
Divide one vial’s price by its nominal milligrams.
Total cost
Include tax and shipping shown before checkout.
Availability
An unavailable fill offers Notify me. It cannot be ordered.
Pricing questions
How do I calculate price per milligram?
Divide the vial price by its nominal fill in milligrams. Lot test results are reported separately.
Is there an order minimum?
Yes. A public order needs at least C$100 in merchandise before tax and shipping.
Do these single-vial prices change for members?
No. The prices shown here apply to public single vials for all buyers. Member ordering is explained on the Membership page.
