Research Peptides FAQ: Buying, Testing and Delivery in Australia
Macropus Peptides sells research peptides online at macropuspeptides.com to buyers across Australia. Every batch is HPLC tested to 98% or higher purity and identified by mass spectrometry, each lot has its own certificate of analysis, and orders paid before 2pm AEST on a business day are dispatched the same day from Australian stock. The answers below cover ordering, payment, delivery, testing, storage and research use.
Buying research peptides in Australia
You can buy research peptides in Australia from Macropus Peptides at macropuspeptides.com. The range covers more than fifty compounds in lyophilised vials, plus blends, starter kits, capsules, nasal sprays and lab supplies. Every batch is HPLC tested to 98% or higher purity and identified by mass spectrometry, and orders paid before 2pm AEST on a business day leave the same day from Australian stock.
Yes. Macropus Peptides is an Australian online peptides store, and all stock is held and packed in Australia. Orders go only to Australian addresses, so parcels never pass through international customs. Prices are in Australian dollars and include GST, and payment is by PayID or bank transfer to an Australian account.
Premium research peptides are defined by documentation rather than the word on the label. Look for an HPLC purity result, a mass spectrometry identity check, a lot number on the vial and a certificate that matches it. Every Macropus Peptides batch carries all four, with purity of 98% or higher, so a result can be traced back to the exact lot used.
No. Macropus Peptides is a supplier of research materials, not a peptide clinic or pharmacy. We do not consult, prescribe or give medical advice, and nothing we sell is for human or veterinary use. Every product is supplied for in-vitro laboratory research to buyers aged 18 and over who confirm that use at checkout.
Orders and payment
We accept PayID and direct bank transfer to our BSB and account number. Your order ID appears as soon as the order is placed; use it as the payment reference so the transfer is matched to your order. PayID payments usually arrive within minutes, while a standard bank transfer can take up to one business day to clear.
Orders whose payment clears before 2pm AEST on a business day are dispatched the same day. Payments that clear after 2pm, or on a weekend or public holiday, are dispatched on the next business day. A tracking number is emailed to you as soon as the parcel is handed to the carrier.
Yes, as long as it has not been dispatched. Contact us with your order ID by email or WhatsApp and we will amend or cancel it, and refund any payment already received for a cancelled order. Once the parcel is with the carrier the contents and address can no longer be changed.
No account is needed. Add products to your cart, enter your delivery details at checkout and confirm the research-use declaration. Your order ID and payment instructions appear straight away and are also sent by email, so you can pay by PayID or bank transfer whenever you are ready.
Delivery and tracking
Standard tracked delivery takes 2 to 5 working days after dispatch, and express tracked delivery takes 1 to 2 working days. Capital cities are usually at the faster end of each range, and regional and remote addresses at the slower end. These are carrier estimates, so peak periods and severe weather can add time.
Standard tracked delivery is $10 and express tracked delivery is $35, per order rather than per item. You choose the option at checkout and the full total, including GST and delivery, is shown before the order is placed. Every parcel is tracked from our Australian dispatch point to your door.
We deliver to every Australian state and territory, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin, Canberra and regional towns. We do not ship overseas or to freight forwarders. Because every parcel starts inside Australia, there is no customs clearance and no risk of an import delay.
A tracking number is emailed as soon as your parcel is handed to the carrier, usually on the day of dispatch. Use it on the carrier website to follow each scan. If tracking stops updating for several business days, contact us with your order ID and we will follow it up with the carrier.
Testing, purity and certificates
Every batch is tested before release with two methods. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) measures purity, and each batch must reach 98% or higher. Mass spectrometry then confirms that the molecule has the expected mass, which proves identity. Both results are recorded on the certificate of analysis for that lot.
Request it on our certificates of analysis page with the compound and the lot number printed on your vial label, or with your order ID. We email the certificate for that exact lot, usually within one business day, showing the HPLC purity result, the mass spectrometry identity result and the test date.
A peptide lab tests or synthesises material; a supplier such as Macropus Peptides sources it, checks each batch, labels it and ships it. What matters to a buyer is that the supplier can show independent analytical results for the lot you receive. Ours shows HPLC purity of 98% or higher and a mass spectrometry identity check for every lot.
Storage, reconstitution and supplies
Keep sealed lyophilised vials frozen at -20 °C and protected from light, where the dry powder stays stable for long periods. Pre-filled pens and nasal sprays are kept refrigerated at 2 to 8 °C and must not be frozen. The storage line printed on every label is the one to follow for that product.
Keep reconstituted solutions refrigerated at 2 to 8 °C, protected from light, and use them within the period your laboratory protocol allows. A solution is far less stable than the dry powder, so reconstitute only what you need. Repeated freezing and thawing of a solution degrades peptides and should be avoided.
Enter the amount of peptide in the vial and the volume of bacteriostatic water you add, and the peptide reconstitution calculator gives the concentration in milligrams and micrograms per millilitre. For example, 2 mL added to a 10mg vial gives 5 mg per mL. Our free peptide calculator does this for every strength we sell.
Most peptides are reconstituted in bacteriostatic water, which contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol to limit microbial growth in a multi-use vial. A few compounds that resist neutral water dissolve in dilute acetic acid instead. Both diluents are stocked in our lab supplies range, together with insulin syringes, alcohol swabs and sharps containers.
Research use and legal status
Research peptides are not registered medicines in Australia and are not on the ARTG, so they may only be supplied as research materials, which is how we sell them. Scheduling under the Poisons Standard differs by compound and can change, so confirm how it applies to your organisation before ordering. Buyers must be 18 or over.
No. Every product is sold for in-vitro laboratory research only. They are not medicines, supplements or cosmetics and are not for human or veterinary use. Each buyer confirms this use at checkout, and we may hold an order to verify age, identity or research purpose before it is dispatched.
