Frequently asked questions
Purity, testing, shipping and the regulatory boundaries we operate within.
Affiliate
How much do affiliates earn?
20% of the item subtotal on every order your link brings in, paid in cash — and not only on their first order. Shipping and tax are excluded, so you earn on revenue the business actually keeps. A $250 order earns you $50.
How do I get paid?
By bank transfer to your own account in Mexico (by CLABE) or the United States (by ACH routing and account number). Commission clears 21 days after an order, once the return window closes, and you can cash out any time your cleared balance is over $50. Transfers are made by hand, so allow a few working days.
Can I take my commission as store credit instead?
Yes, and we add 25% if you do. Your available balance converts to PEPCOiNS at $0.10 a coin plus that bonus, lands in your wallet the same minute, and needs no bank details. It only runs one way: PEPCOiNS never convert back into cash.
What are the milestone bonuses?
A one-off PEPCOiN award each time your lifetime count of settled sales reaches a rung: 50 PEPCOiNS at three sales, 100 at six, and more above that. They are on top of the cash, not instead of it, and a rung you have reached is yours to keep even if a later order is refunded.
What is a PEPCOiN?
Store credit. One PEPCOiN is worth $0.10 toward anything in the catalog. It is not money: no cash value, not transferable, not sellable, and never exchangeable for cash. Your commission is the part of the programme that is money.
What does my audience get?
10% off their first order, whether they arrive through your link or type your code at checkout. It is a welcome offer, so it applies once — but your commission keeps paying on every order they place after it. They can also open an account and earn PEPCOiNS of their own, including a welcome grant for joining.
How long does attribution last?
90 days. A researcher who clicks your link today and orders eleven weeks later is still credited to you. Procurement cycles in research are slow, and the window reflects that.
Do I have to wait for approval before I can start?
No. You get a working link the moment you finish signing up — about two minutes, with no documents to upload. If you would rather have a named link, peptiqxbiotech.com/yourname, ask for it: a person reads that one before it goes live, because it becomes a public address on our own domain, and your original link keeps working the whole time.
Can I change my link later?
Yes, from your portal. Your existing link keeps working the whole time the new one is under review, so anything you have already posted does not break. Once the new one is approved the old one stops resolving — update anything you control that still points at it.
What happens if an order I referred is refunded?
The commission on it is reversed. If it had already been paid out to you, we recover it from your next payout rather than invoicing you. A partial refund usually means a smaller commission rather than none at all.
Do I pay tax on this?
Commission is income and you are responsible for declaring and paying any tax on it where you live. We do not withhold and we do not give tax advice. We may ask for tax or invoicing details if a law that applies to us requires them before we can pay.
What will get me removed from the programme?
Making therapeutic, dosing or efficacy claims; presenting these materials as fit for human or animal use; bidding on our brand terms in paid search; or self-referring your own orders. Any of these ends the partnership and forfeits unpaid commission and unredeemed PEPCOiNS.
Compliance
Are these products approved by the FDA?
No. None of our products are approved by the FDA for any use. They are research chemicals sold for in-vitro laboratory research only, and are not drugs, foods, cosmetics or medical devices.
Can these be used in humans or animals?
No. Our products must never be administered to humans or animals. They are not sterile-filled for injection, are not manufactured to pharmaceutical standards, and are sold on the express condition that they are used only in laboratory research. PEPTiQX is not a compounding pharmacy.
Handling
How should I store the material?
Store the lyophilised powder at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. Under those conditions most sequences are stable for well over a year. Once reconstituted, refrigerate at 2-8°C and use within the window appropriate to the sequence.
How do I reconstitute a lyophilised peptide?
Add bacteriostatic water slowly down the inner wall of the vial rather than directly onto the powder, and let it dissolve without shaking. Vortexing and direct jets can shear longer sequences.
Why does my GHK-Cu solution look blue?
That is expected. The blue colour comes from the copper(II) coordination in the tripeptide complex and is a visual indicator that the complex is intact.
Ordering
Who can order from PEPTiQX?
Orders are accepted from qualified researchers, laboratories, universities and institutional buyers. At checkout you must certify that the materials will be used solely for in-vitro laboratory research.
How fast do orders ship?
Orders placed before 3:00 PM Arizona Time on a business day are dispatched the same day. Orders after the cut-off, or on weekends and holidays, ship the next business day.
Do you offer bulk or custom synthesis?
Yes. We can quote gram-scale quantities of catalog items and custom sequences with defined purity specifications. Contact research support with your sequence, quantity and required purity.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit and debit cards through our payment processor. Institutional purchase orders can be arranged for established accounts — contact us to set that up.
Shipping
How are peptides shipped?
Lyophilised peptides are stable at ambient temperature for the duration of normal transit and ship in insulated packaging. Cold-chain shipping is available on request for temperature-sensitive custom orders.
Do you ship internationally?
We ship to select countries. International customers are responsible for ensuring the materials may be lawfully imported for research use in their jurisdiction, and for any customs duties.
Testing
How is purity measured?
Purity is determined by reverse-phase HPLC with UV detection, typically at 214 nm where the peptide bond absorbs. The reported figure is the target peak area as a percentage of total integrated peak area. Our release specification is ≥98.0%.
How do you confirm identity?
Identity is confirmed by LC-MS. The measured mass is compared against the expected monoisotopic mass calculated from the sequence. A batch that does not match is not released, regardless of its purity number.
Who performs the testing?
Testing is performed by independent ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories — we do not self-report purity. The laboratory that tested your specific batch is named on the certificate of analysis.
Can I get the COA for the exact vial I received?
Yes. The batch number is printed on your vial label. Enter it in the COA library and you will get the certificate for that specific lot, not a representative sample.
What happens if a batch fails specification?
It is not released for sale. Out-of-specification material is quarantined and destroyed. We do not blend, re-test until pass, or downgrade failing lots.
