Frequently Asked Questions
Ordering, shipping, quality, and research-use answers in one place.
General
What is IKONG Peptides?
IKONG Peptides is a supplier of research-grade peptides. Every compound is independently lab-tested for identity and purity and ships with a certificate of analysis. All products are intended strictly for laboratory and research use.
Are your products legal to purchase?
Our products are sold strictly for laboratory and research use by qualified professionals. Regulations differ between countries and regions, so you are responsible for ensuring compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction before purchasing.
How do I get in touch?
You can reach our team through the Contact page. We are happy to help with questions about products, orders, certificates of analysis, or handling.
Do you offer bulk or wholesale orders?
Yes — for larger research quantities, contact us directly so we can discuss availability and lead times for your requirements.
Ordering & Shipping
How long does shipping take?
Orders are processed quickly and ship with tracking. Delivery times depend on your location and the shipping method selected at checkout. Temperature-sensitive items include appropriate cold-chain packaging.
Is packaging discreet?
Yes. All orders ship in plain, unbranded packaging with no description of the contents on the outside.
Do you ship internationally?
Availability varies by destination, and some compounds may be restricted in certain regions. Any restrictions that apply to your location will be reflected at checkout.
Can I track my order?
Yes. Once your order ships you will receive tracking information so you can follow it through to delivery, and inspect the package promptly on arrival.
What payment methods do you accept?
The payment options available to you are shown at checkout. If you have a question about a specific method, please contact us.
Products & Quality
What purity are your peptides?
All compounds are verified to ≥ 99% purity by HPLC, with identity confirmed by mass spectrometry. The exact result for your batch is documented on its certificate of analysis.
Do products include a certificate of analysis?
Yes. Every batch ships with a certificate of analysis, and current certificates are published in the Certificates of Analysis section of our Resources hub.
Where can I find the certificate for my batch?
Match the batch number on your vial to the corresponding entry in the Certificates of Analysis section. A printed copy also ships with every order.
How should I store products?
Store lyophilized powder at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. After reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8°C and aliquot anything you will not use immediately. See our Storage and Stability Reference for details.
How long do peptides last?
In lyophilized form, stored cold and dark, peptides remain stable for an extended period. Once reconstituted, stability is measured in days to weeks depending on the compound and storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Research Use
Are these products for human consumption?
No. All products are sold strictly for laboratory and research use only — not for human or veterinary consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic purposes.
What does ‘research use only’ mean?
It means the product is intended exclusively for in-vitro laboratory experimentation by qualified professionals. It has not been evaluated for safety or efficacy in humans or animals and must not be used in those contexts.
Who can purchase?
Purchasers must be 18 years or older and agree to use the products for laboratory research purposes only.
Research with confidence
Every compound is lab-tested, 99% purity, and backed by transparent documentation.
