What's inside
Everything you need before the first vial.
Not a catalogue. Not a sales page. A working reference you can keep on the bench — with the evidence, the arithmetic and the failure points in one place.
The math that saves a vial
Concentration, units, the 10 mg example, the mixing chart and the pen-unit exception. Every row was recomputed before publication.
mg ≠ mL · U-100 · 10 mg + 1 mL = 10 mg/mL
Storage, COA and technique
How to read a certificate, the 28-day rule, freezer and fridge setup, Canadian supplier records, injection sites, warning signs and when to throw a vial out.
COA · 28 days · supplier records · rotate sites
Plus: a 28-term glossary, a redacted COA sample, a label template and 27 references you can check.

Why we created this guide
Peptide research shouldn't feel complicated.
There's a lot of information about peptides out there, and not all of it is easy to understand. We created this free 51-page guide to break down the basics, explain the science, and help you navigate peptide research with more confidence. No unnecessary jargon. Just clear, practical information backed by research.

Who it’s for
Made for the first step, not the advanced bench.

Not for you if…
You want medical advice, a validated lab SOP, or advanced analytical methods. This is a beginner’s reference, not a clinical or lab manual.

Who is this for?
People who are curious about research peptides and want a plain-English starting point. No lab background is assumed. It is not a clinical manual or an advanced lab SOP.
Is the guide really free?
Yes. The PDF is free. We ask for your email so we can send it, confirm your consent, and follow up with a short series on reconstitution, COA reading and storage. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Is this medical advice?
No. The guide is educational material for research. It is not a substitute for a licensed healthcare provider, and it does not tell you what to take. Products referenced are supplied for laboratory research use only.
What's inside the PDF?
51 pages: 12 compound profiles, trial data, reconstitution math, a verified mixing chart, COA reading, supplier records, storage and freezer setup, injection technique, warning signs, a glossary and 27 references.
Do I need to buy anything?
No. The guide stands on its own. If you decide to order, product links go to the Standard Labs catalogue; there are no paid placements in the PDF.
How often will you email me?
A confirmation email, the guide, and a short series over about 10 days. After that, occasional research updates. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe.
Is my email shared?
No. We do not sell or share your email with third parties. The form stores your name, email, interest and consent record so we can honor your preferences.
