Our Story

Built on Trust, Quality & Innovation

Our journey began with a simple goal: to provide researchers with dependable research materials supported by transparency, consistency, and uncompromising quality. We recognized the need for a supplier that places scientific integrity at the center of every product we offer.

From sourcing and analytical testing to documentation and customer support, every stage of our process is designed to help researchers work with confidence. Every batch is handled with precision, thoroughly verified, and backed by detailed quality documentation.

Today, we remain committed to delivering research-grade products that meet the highest expectations for quality, reliability, and consistency while continuously improving our processes to better serve the scientific community.

How We Got Here

Founded on the gap we couldn't get past.

2026 Founded

Astramide was established in 2026, founded on a single observation: the research peptide industry had a credibility problem, and nothing on the supply side was solving it.

Researchers were buying compounds where every claim ended at the supplier's word. Purity numbers were published without supporting documentation. Testing methodologies were described vaguely or not at all. The few suppliers who claimed third-party testing rarely identified the laboratory and almost never published the actual analytical results. For research that depended on the integrity of the input material, that simply wasn't enough.

Building a Different Standard

Rather than adding more marketing language about quality, the goal was to eliminate the gap between a supplier's claims and independently verifiable evidence. That commitment led to a simple rule: every lot is tested by an outside laboratory before it goes on sale, and the full report is published for researchers to read.

Today, Astramide ships research compounds from Austin, Texas, to the 48 contiguous states and Washington, DC. Every lot follows the same Certificate of Analysis framework, and the commitment to transparency remains exactly where it started.

Why Researchers Trust Us

Every Claim is Scientifically Verified

Every lot is tested for identity and purity by an outside laboratory before it goes on sale, and the report is published.

Research Grade

Released only when identity is confirmed and purity reaches our 98% criterion.

Our Standards

The Standard Behind Every Batch

Astramide exists because researchers deserve to know what's in the vial. Here is how every lot is checked, published and shipped, from the lab report to your door.

Sourcing Standards

Every Astramide lot comes from a vetted manufacturing partner. Pro Series lots are made in the USA. Whatever the source, every lot goes through the same testing and review before it goes on sale.

Third-Party Laboratory Testing

We don't test our own homework. Every lot is sent to an outside laboratory to verify identity and purity before it is released for research use. It is a deliberate separation between the people who make the product and the people who verify it.

Purity Verification

Lab results don't end at the test. We review every report against our release criteria: identity confirmed and purity at or above 98%. A lot that misses either is not released, and its report is still published.

Batch-Specific Certificates of Analysis

Every lot has its own Certificate of Analysis, tied to its exact batch, not a generic reference document. Search the lot number on your vial in our COA library to read the report for that lot.

Secure Packaging & Fulfillment

Once a lot clears every checkpoint, it is packed to protect it in transit and shipped with tracking in plain outer packaging. Cold packs are added when a product needs them.

Chief Science Officer

Dr. Leonard Haberman leads Astramide's analytical quality program. He sets the release criteria every lot must meet and oversees our laboratory partnerships.

Most researcher questions are handled directly by our customer support team, including product information, orders, Certificate of Analysis verification, and shipping inquiries. When a question requires expertise in analytical methodology or quality assurance, it is escalated directly to Dr. Haberman for scientific review and guidance.

"Research is built on independent verification. The supply chain should be too. Every Certificate of Analysis we publish is something the buyer can audit themselves—that isn't a feature of the program; it's the foundation of it."

Why Independent Labs

The first decision Astramide made was not to perform analytical testing in-house. The reason was simple: when a supplier tests its own products, it can publish any result it chooses and describe it as verification. Researchers have no practical way to independently confirm those claims.

So every lot goes to an independent analytical laboratory in the United States. We work only with labs that are DEA-registered and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited, and that are not owned by or tied to any peptide supplier. These labs serve many clients, so they have no reason to favor one supplier's results.

The Protocol Matters More Than the Name

Whichever lab runs a lot, the protocol is the same: HPLC for purity, mass spectrometry for identity, and endotoxin by LAL (USP <85>) on current lots. A lot needs confirmed identity and at least 98% purity to go on sale. Every Certificate of Analysis names the lab that ran it and its report reference, so you can check any result with the lab directly.

Without independent testing, the word "verified" is simply marketing language. With independent labs and published reports, verification becomes something researchers can review and confirm for themselves.
