Research Handling Note:
Allow sealed vials to reach ambient laboratory temperature before opening, to prevent condensation forming inside the vial. Store sealed vials at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. All handling and laboratory procedures are determined by the receiving laboratory under its own protocols.

Why Choose UK Peptides for Cortagen 20mg in the UK?
UK Peptides has supplied research-grade peptides to the UK scientific community since 2012. We work directly with our manufacturing partner rather than through third-party resellers, so every batch of Cortagen 20mg is tested before it reaches your freezer, and consistency carries from one order to the next. Orders placed before 3pm are dispatched the same day, with tracked next-day delivery available across the UK.
Reconstitution in a Research Setting:
As a lyophilised peptide, Cortagen 20mg is typically reconstituted immediately before use by adding sterile or bacteriostatic water directly to the vial, rather than by vigorous mixing, to protect the peptide's structure. The exact diluent, volume, and resulting concentration are decisions for the receiving laboratory's own protocols and intended assay. Once reconstituted, peptides are generally less stable than in lyophilised form and are best used promptly or kept refrigerated for short-term storage only, again under the receiving laboratory's own procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cortagen 20mg intended for human use?
No. It is sold strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and is not a medicine, supplement, or food product.
What form does Cortagen 20mg ship in?
As a sealed, lyophilised (freeze-dried) vial, the standard form for stable storage and transport of research peptides.
What purity standard does this batch meet?
See the specification list above for this product's confirmed purity and batch details.
Quality Control at Every Batch:
Every batch of Cortagen 20mg that reaches our freezer has already been through our manufacturing partner's own analytical verification before dispatch, checking identity and purity against the specification shown above. Peptides are inherently sensitive to heat, light, and moisture, so batches are kept in temperature-controlled storage from the point they arrive with us until they are picked, packed, and dispatched — the same cold-chain discipline we ask researchers to continue once a vial reaches their own laboratory.
Does this come with a Certificate of Analysis?
Where a Safety Data Sheet or Certificate of Analysis is available for Cortagen 20mg, it can be accessed from this product page; see the Safety Data Sheet tab above if present for this item.
