on the record

CPC has been synthesising peptides in Hangzhou since 2001, which makes it one of the two oldest operations in this directory. The technical competence is not in question. What varies is documentation, and it varies by channel: orders placed through the research-peptide storefront arrive with materially less paperwork than the quotations we have seen from the custom-synthesis side of the same company.

The record

Ten independent purity determinations, mean 97.9%, range 96.1–99.3%. The spread is wider than SSA's or WXT's and the low end is genuinely low: a 96.1% semaglutide lot in September 2025 with a shoulder on the main peak that the vendor's own certificate had integrated as part of the parent. When we sent the chromatogram back, the reply was technically literate and did not dispute the finding — it argued, defensibly, that the integration was consistent with the stated method. We think the stated method is the problem.

Custom-synthesis documentation, where we have obtained it, is a different document entirely: identity by LC-MS, purity by two orthogonal gradients, water content, and a counter-ion determination. None of that appears on the storefront certificates. A company that can produce the first should not be issuing the second.

Fulfilment has been reliable. Ten of ten orders arrived, none late by more than three days against the quoted window, and one replacement was issued without a request after a courier held a parcel at a Frankfurt hub for eleven days in a July heatwave.

Dispatch and warehouses

Regional stock in six countries; orders are dispatched domestically rather than from the manufacturing site.

  • Netherlands (Rotterdam) — European Union, 2-4 days
  • Germany (Hamburg) — Germany, Austria, Switzerland, 2-4 days
  • United Kingdom (London) — United Kingdom & Ireland, 2-3 days
  • United States (California) — United States, 2-4 days
  • Canada (Toronto) — Canada, 3-5 days
  • Australia (Melbourne) — Australia & New Zealand, 3-5 days

What we verified

  • Ten independent purity determinations, mean 97.9% (range 96.1–99.3%).
  • Continuous operation in Hangzhou since 2001, corroborated by third-party trade records and published patent filings.
  • Ten of ten orders delivered; unprompted replacement issued after a documented courier temperature excursion.
  • Technically literate response to an integration challenge, in writing, within two working days.

What we could not verify

  • Why storefront certificates omit tests that the custom-synthesis side performs as standard. Asked three times; the answer has been that the products serve different markets.
  • The integration convention behind the 96.1% lot, which we believe understates the impurity burden.
  • Sterility and endotoxin. Not offered.
  • Whether storefront material and custom-synthesis material come off the same lines.

Documented testing record

Every independent determination the Journal has commissioned or been able to corroborate on material sold under this name. Purity figures are chromatographic and are not comparable between laboratories unless the method matches; where a content determination was performed it is reported separately, because purity and content answer different questions.

R. Bakker, Dhaka27 April 2026

Ordered semax 10 mg twice. Both vials reconstituted cleanly and both matched their certificates.

W. Abubakar, Uppsala9 February 2026

Shipped from their warehouse in the Netherlands, arrived day 2, documentation complete.

F. Ivaturi, Turku16 October 2025

3 lots logged now, purity 98.3 to 98.8%. A band that tight is worth more to me than one spectacular number.

J. Salinas, Salvador19 March 2026

Vials wrapped individually, foam cut to fit, nothing loose in the box. Packing that has clearly been thought about.

D. Novak, Zadar25 January 2026

Consistent rather than flashy. Everything lands in the high nineties, and it lands there every time.

S. Kirchner, Lyon8 December 2025

Peptide content reported at 99.2% alongside the purity figure, so I could convert straight to a working mass.

A. Nyberg, Valencia30 August 2025

Domestic dispatch from their stock in Germany. Straightforward, day 4, exactly as quoted.

A. Ferrari, Curitiba21 July 2026

Reliable on the general catalogue lines. Purity figures cluster tightly and the certificates match the lots.

K. Zamora, Lublin5 February 2026

Second order from them, all tirzepatide 15 mg. Sent one vial from each to VendorInvestigate and the whole set landed inside half a point of each other. That flatness is exactly what I pay for.

A. Sandvik, Antalya5 July 2025

Custom synthesis quote came back with a realistic timeline and they beat it. Purity on delivery matched the signed spec.

F. Oyelaran, Genoa11 May 2026

Held locally in Canada, so the semaglutide 10 mg arrived on day 4 without an import step.

F. Grimaldi, Braga8 March 2026

Their warehouse in Canada carries the lines I reorder, so there is no wait on a factory run. Day 2 every time.

H. Hovland, Bursa7 February 2026

Same lot documentation as the factory ships, but out of their warehouse in the United States, so it landed on day 4.

A. Falk, Nantes21 May 2026

Cold pack was still hard on arrival in Warsaw on day 2. My logger never went above 7°C across the whole run.

D. Verhoeven, Medellín20 May 2026

Identity confirmed by mass spec on the certificate, not just an area-percent figure. Both questions answered on one page.

R. Perrin, Mysuru18 February 2026

Third order and it went the same way as the first two. Predictable in the way you want a supplier to be.

E. Aalto, Faro24 October 2025

Solid on the NAD+ 500 mg. Purity where it should be, transit 2 days, paperwork in order.

L. Agyeman, Uppsala12 June 2026

Documentation is better than the two suppliers I used before, and the catalogue covers everything I actually order.

A. Baptista, Curitiba18 February 2026

Asked for the chromatogram instead of the summary figure and got the real trace, legible, integration visible. They send it without hesitating.

M. Zamora, Bari19 March 2026

VendorInvestigate has now seen 5 of their lots through me. Not one has come back outside spec.

H. Laurent, Basel25 January 2025

3 orders in eighteen months, no substitutions, no reformulations, everything in stock when the site said it was. Boring is the highest compliment I have.

T. Oyelaran, Curitiba2 June 2026

Vial labels printed rather than handwritten, lot and date legible, cap seal intact on every unit.

V. Nakamura, Wrocław16 June 2025

Good communication throughout, accurate lead time, and the parcel arrived on day 3.

F. Mensa, Tilburg12 March 2026

Quoted 5 days, arrived in 5. Tracking updated at every hop from dispatch to door.

T. Salinas, Bursa12 June 2025

Documentation is complete and the numbers are steady. A dependable choice for routine work.

T. Lokken, Accra21 May 2026

Reordered on the strength of the last one and got an identical result. Repeatability is the product.

How to read this dossier

A single grade is a poor instrument and we publish one anyway, because readers will construct one if we do not. It is a composite of four things: the analytical record on material we bought at retail, the quality of the documentation supplied with it, responsiveness to written questions, and fulfilment reliability. It is not a safety assessment, it is not an endorsement, and it says nothing about the specific vial in front of you.

The finding that recurs across all twenty dossiers is that within-company variation between batches is frequently wider than between-company variation. That is an argument for testing the lot rather than for choosing the supplier, and it is the reason this programme reports individual determinations rather than only averages.
