Faqs
Lab Testing, Purity & Variance
Do you test your products?
Yes. Batches are submitted for independent analysis by accredited third-party laboratories, principally Janoshik Analytical. Testing commonly uses HPLC, with additional methods where required. Reports are lot-specific, so match the report to the lot number on the product.
How close to the label should the amount be?
Our standard is within 10% either side of the labeled amount. Results outside that range are held and reviewed before release.
Is purity reported the same way for peptides?
No. Lyophilized peptides are reported as an exact purity figure. Blends are assessed by identity and content of each component because a single percentage would describe the mixture rather than each compound.
What do the lab reports actually measure?
They measure purity—how much of the material is the compound—and content—how much compound is present compared with the label. A batch must pass both.
Where does the 10% figure come from?
It follows the 90–110% acceptance range described by USP chapters <905> and <795>. We voluntarily apply this published pharmaceutical-grade benchmark to research compounds.
Why do capsules vary more than raw powder?
Capsules distribute small amounts of active compound through filler, so individual units vary slightly around the average. The whole batch remains subject to the same specification.
Why do some certificates show 98%+ instead of an exact number?
Some laboratories report purity in bands. In that format, 98%+ is the highest band and means the sample measured between 98% and 100%.
Why does published lab data matter?
Mislabeling in the online research-compound market is documented. Publishing unadjusted, batch-specific reports lets researchers verify identity, purity and content themselves.
Why isn't the result exactly 100%?
Synthesis, drying, weighing, blending, filling and instrument accuracy all introduce small real-world variation. Results are published as the laboratory issues them.
Orders & Shipping
How long does it take to receive an order?
Paid USA orders before 12 PM EST on business days ship the same day. Later, weekend and holiday orders ship the next business day. International timelines vary.
How do I track my order?
A tracking number is emailed after dispatch and may take 24–48 hours to activate. Some mixed orders ship separately with more than one tracking number.

Yes, via USPS only.
Can a discount code be applied after an order is placed?
No. Codes cannot be applied retroactively but can remain valid for a later order.

Contact support for availability or subscribe on the product page for an automatic restock notification.
Are discounts or promotions available?
Promotional codes are published through the newsletter and official social channels.
Returns & Refunds
What is the returns policy?
Unopened, resealable eligible products may be returned within seven business days of confirmed delivery. Return shipping and tracking are the customer's responsibility; a 15% restocking fee applies.

What is the policy on chargebacks?
Contact SwissChems support before opening a payment dispute. Chargebacks are treated as potential fraud events.
Peptides
In what form are peptides supplied?
Research peptides are supplied as lyophilized powder. Bacteriostatic water is not included.
How should lyophilized peptides be stored?
Use 4°C for active laboratory storage and −20°C for long-term archival storage, sealed and shielded from light.
What is the shelf life of lyophilized peptides?
Up to 24 months from manufacture when correctly sealed and stored.
What is the shelf life of SARMs and oral compounds?
Up to 24 months sealed at controlled room temperature. Liquid solutions should be stored at 4°C and used within six months of opening.
How are peptide vials identified?
By stopper color as specified on each product page; support can confirm rare substitutions.
Do liquid solutions contain alcohol?
Yes. SwissChems liquid and solution products contain 7% ethanol.
Why does my peptide kit arrive separately?
Peptide kits and vials may ship as separate consignments with separate tracking and customs-clearance packaging.
