Reference peptides for Dortmund research groups

Shipping into Germany

Orders are picked, packed and dispatched within one to three working days of confirmation. Then it is 5–18 business days from the moment tracking goes active to reach Dortmund, measured from active tracking rather than from checkout. Shipments travel via a tracked delivery service; the route and carrier depend on the dispatch hub. Intra-EU movements usually clear without intervention; VAT and any local research-chemical declarations sit with the buyer.

Addresses outside the centre of Dortmund sit on the same courier round as central ones. Keep the certificate with the batch: separating the two is the most common records problem we see. Cold-chain packaging is sized for the Dortmund transit window rather than a generic European one. Researchers collecting in Mainz or Freiburg see the same window. You get a tracking reference at dispatch and a named contact who stays available while the parcel is moving.

How this material is classified

For teams working across Mainz, Freiburg, Heidelberg, Kiel and Rostock, keeping one shared log of batch numbers saves a lot of retrospective guesswork. The classification is research reference material for in-vitro characterisation, and it does not change by destination. No item is a medicinal product, and none is offered for use in or on a person or animal. Buyers in Germany are responsible for confirming that their intended research use complies with local rules before ordering.

Intra-EU movements usually clear without intervention; VAT and any local research-chemical declarations sit with the buyer. Documentation accompanies every parcel so an inspection finds a consistent description rather than a gap. We do not run discounts, so the figure you see is the figure you pay. Independent laboratories, not our own, produce the analysis attached to anything shipped toward Dortmund.

Analysis, testing and what the certificate covers

Batches are released only after independent chromatographic purity testing and identity confirmation. A short message with your compound list is usually quicker than working through the catalogue alone from Dortmund. We publish the trace itself, so the number can be checked rather than taken on trust. Nothing described here is a medicine, a treatment or a supplement — the material is in-vitro reference standard only. Documents are sent on request ahead of payment so nothing is bought sight-unseen from Dortmund.

Certificates are reissued on request for archive purposes. Multi-site projects can be held on a single batch across all shipments, which keeps the comparison honest. Benches in Dortmund tend to order in small, repeated batches, and the documentation trail matters more with every repeat.

Closing notes for Dortmund

Peptide sourcing in Dortmund does not need to be an act of faith. Documents before payment, tracking from dispatch, cold storage on arrival — three habits that remove most of the risk.

Written for researchers ordering into Dortmund. All compounds are in-vitro reference standards.
