- Bacteriostatic water

STEP-BY-STEP
Choose your compound
Browse the catalogue and pick the research compound you are studying. Each product page carries its description and specifications. If you are researching more than one, a ready-built stack bundles related compounds together at 10% off versus buying separately.
Add the consumables you will need
A compound on its own cannot be prepared. Add bacteriostatic water to reconstitute it and insulin syringes to measure with. Buying these together with your compound means your first parcel is complete and you are not waiting on a second order to begin.
Tip: The most common first-order mistake is forgetting the water and syringes — add them up front.
Place the order and pay by EFT
At checkout you will receive banking details for an EFT (electronic funds transfer). Pay from your bank's app or internet banking using the reference provided so your payment is matched to your order quickly.
Order is confirmed on payment
Once your EFT reflects, the order is confirmed and moves into fulfilment. You will receive email confirmation. Dispatch happens on weekdays to protect temperature-sensitive compounds in transit.
Track your courier delivery
Your parcel ships by courier with tracking. Delivery is typically next business day to major metros and 1–2 days nationwide. See the courier delivery guide for timing and area detail.
On arrival: inspect and refrigerate
When the parcel lands, check the vials, store lyophilised peptides and opened bacteriostatic water as the storage guide describes, and keep your Certificate of Analysis with your records. You are then ready to reconstitute.
A complete first-order shopping list
For a smooth start, a first order usually contains: the research compound itself; bacteriostatic water to reconstitute it; and insulin syringes to measure accurately. Alcohol swabs are a useful addition for clean handling.
If you would rather not assemble this yourself, a stack bundles the compound with its consumables in one kit — everything needed for a full research cycle, at 10% off the separate prices.
