About AminoCore Research

AminoCore Research is a United States-based supplier of research-grade peptides and bioactive compounds for qualified laboratories, academic institutions, and independent investigators. Every compound in our catalog is manufactured to a minimum of ≥99% purity, verified by third-party analytical testing, and shipped with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis documenting both HPLC chromatographic data and mass spectrometry identity confirmation.

We exist because rigorous science demands rigorous sourcing. Researchers studying tissue repair mechanisms, growth hormone axis dynamics, metabolic regulation, or cognitive neuroprotection need compounds they can trust at the molecular level—not supplier claims they have to take on faith. Our entire operational model is built around that need: independent verification, full analytical transparency, and a catalog curated specifically for serious laboratory work.

What We Supply

Our research peptide catalog spans more than 100 compounds across every major research category. Core areas include:

  • Regenerative peptidesBPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, and multi-compound blends like GLOW and WOLVERINE studied for wound healing, angiogenesis, and cytoprotection.
  • Growth hormone axisCJC-1295 DAC, Ipamorelin, Sermorelin, MK-677, and Hexarelin investigated in GH pulse research and IGF-1 axis studies.
  • Metabolic modulatorsAOD-9604, Tesamorelin, MOTS-c, and SLU-PP-332 for adipose metabolism, mitochondrial function, and lipid pathway research.
  • Cognitive and neuroprotectiveSelank, Semax, and DSIP studied for BDNF modulation, anxiolytic effects, and sleep architecture research.
  • Anti-aging and longevityEpithalon, Thymalin, and Khavinson peptides researched in telomerase activation and immune senescence contexts.
  • Topical compounds — GHK-Cu topicals, Argireline, Matrixyl, and cosmetic-grade peptides for dermal and skin biology research applications.

Each product listing includes full chemical specifications: CAS number, molecular formula, molecular weight, amino acid sequence (where applicable), purity grade, physical form, and recommended storage conditions. Detailed research content covering mechanisms of action, key study findings, handling protocols, and reconstitution guidance is available directly on product pages and in our Research Articles library.

Quality Assurance and Third-Party Testing

Every batch of every product undergoes independent analytical testing before it enters our inventory. We do not accept supplier certificates at face value. Our quality assurance process requires:

  • HPLC purity analysis — High Performance Liquid Chromatography confirms purity and detects any related substances or degradation products. We require a minimum of ≥99% purity for the majority of our catalog; exceptions are noted on the product page.
  • Mass spectrometry identity confirmation — ESI-MS or MALDI-TOF verifies that the molecular weight of each batch matches the target compound within instrument tolerance, confirming identity beyond chromatographic purity alone.
  • Lot-specific Certificates of Analysis — Each batch receives a unique lot number. The corresponding COA documents purity percentage, instrument parameters, and retention times from the actual analysis run—not a template certificate applied across batches.

Registered researchers can access the full COA vault, including HPLC chromatograms and mass spec reports, through our Certificates of Analysis portal. If you need documentation for a specific lot prior to purchase, contact our team and we will provide it before you place an order.

Research Use Only

All compounds supplied by AminoCore Research are sold strictly for laboratory and in-vitro research purposes. They are not approved by the FDA for human or animal therapeutic use, and they are not intended for diagnostic, medical, or clinical application. Access to purchase requires confirmation of researcher or institutional status during account registration.

This commitment is not a formality. Research peptides exist in a regulatory environment that requires clear delineation between legitimate scientific investigation and off-label or consumer use. We actively support that distinction: our product content, labeling, and communications are written for researchers, and our compliance framework is designed to ensure that the compounds we supply reach qualified laboratories rather than unqualified end users.

If you have questions about what "for research use only" means in practice—including documentation requirements, institutional purchasing, and chain-of-custody considerations—our article on research-use-only designation provides a detailed regulatory and practical overview.

Our Scientific Team

AminoCore Research is operated by a team of researchers, analytical chemists, and regulatory specialists with backgrounds in biochemistry, pharmaceutical science, and laboratory operations. Our scientific review team evaluates compounds for catalog inclusion, maintains oversight of analytical standards, and authors the research content published on this site.

Every article in our research library is reviewed for scientific accuracy against current peer-reviewed literature. We cite exclusively PubMed-indexed and DOI-linked sources, and we maintain a standard of referencing primary research papers rather than secondary summaries or industry publications. Our editorial guidelines require that study populations, experimental conditions, and effect sizes be described accurately, and that mechanistic claims be clearly distinguished from clinical outcomes.

Shipping and Handling

All peptides are shipped in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form, which provides stability for transit without requiring cold chain for most compounds. Lyophilized peptides remain stable at ambient temperature for short durations—typically 24–72 hours in transit—and for extended periods (12–24 months) when stored at −20°C upon receipt.

Orders are dispatched from our U.S. fulfillment center. Standard shipping delivers in 3–5 business days; expedited options including Next Day Air and 2-Day Air are available at checkout. Free standard shipping is included on orders over $150.

Full handling and storage guidelines—including reconstitution protocols, bacteriostatic water ratios, and post-reconstitution stability data—are documented in our reconstitution guide and on individual product pages. Additional guidance is available in our Frequently Asked Questions.
