Overview

Bio-Synthesis provides custom research-grade peptide synthesis for academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical research. We synthesize sequence-defined peptides using established solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) methods and deliver peptides with documentation and analytics appropriate for reproducible laboratory work.

If you’re ordering a sequence with known challenges (hydrophobic, long, cysteine-rich, aggregation-prone), share that context and we’ll recommend a practical synthesis and QC approach.

Peptide Bioconjugation

Conjugate custom peptides to carrier proteins and other molecules to support immunization, detection, and assay development. Our scientists can recommend conjugation chemistry and linker strategy based on your target and application.

  • Peptide–oligonucleotide conjugates: DNA/RNA (siRNA, miRNA, ASO, aptamers) for gene delivery, antisense research, and diagnostics
  • Peptide–protein conjugates: enzymes, antibodies, and fragments (research and therapeutic development)
  • Peptide–carrier protein conjugates: KLH, BSA, Ova for antibody production
  • Peptide–peptide conjugates: multivalent designs (dimers/trimers), CPP cargo, and signaling peptides for affinity enhancement, stability, and delivery
  • Peptide–small molecule conjugates: drugs, inhibitors, agonist/antagonists for targeted drug delivery
  • Peptide-polymer:PEG, polypeptide, synthetic polymers (PLGA, HPMA) dendrimer for stability, solubility, half-life extension
  • Peptide-lipids: Fatty acids, cholesterol, lipopeptides for membrane anchoring, half-life extension, delivery
  • Fluorophores & imaging agents: organic dyes, near-infrared dyes, radiolabel chelators for imaging, diagnostics, and tracking
  • Peptide-sugars and Targeting Moieties: GalNAc, mannose, folic acid, RGD motifs (as ligands) for cell-specific targeting.
  • Custom linker and spacer chemistry

If you need multiple modifications (e.g., label + phosphorylation) or complex designs, our scientists can advise on feasibility and optimal synthesis strategy.

Purification & Quality Control (QC)

Standard analytics
  • HPLC purity profiling
  • Mass spectrometry (MS) identity confirmation
  • Certificate of Analysis (COA)
Why QC matters
  • Improves reproducibility across experiments
  • Reduces variability from truncations/side products
  • Confirms identity before conjugation or formulation

Need a purity recommendation? Tell us your assay type (screening vs quantitative) and we’ll suggest a practical target.

Additional Analytical & Testing Services
  • Endotoxin testing (research-use requests)
  • Residual solvent / residual chemical analysis
  • Water content determination (Karl Fischer)
  • Salt exchange and salt form confirmation
  • Custom analytical requests aligned to your workflow

Availability of add-on testing depends on peptide specifications and intended research use. Contact our scientists for guidance.

Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) Workflow

Core SPPS Cycle
  • Deprotection (repeated each cycle): remove the temporary N-terminal protecting group.
  • Activation & Coupling (repeated each cycle): add the next amino acid to the growing chain.
  • Final cleavage: release the completed peptide from the resin and remove side-chain protecting groups.

Use your corrected schematic here to visually reinforce the repeating cycle and the single final cleavage step.

  • Cell signaling & receptor studies
  • Enzyme assays & inhibitor screening
  • Protein–protein interaction studies
  • Assay development & validation
  • Conjugation and labeling workflows

FAQ

Do you offer peptide bioconjugation (e.g., KLH/BSA conjugates)?

Yes. Bio-Synthesis offers peptide bioconjugation, including peptide–carrier protein conjugates (such as KLH or BSA) and other custom conjugates. Share your peptide sequence, desired carrier/target, and application and we’ll recommend a suitable conjugation approach and QC documentation.

What is a research-grade peptide?

research-grade peptide is a chemically synthesized peptide intended for laboratory research applications. Most research peptides are produced using solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), which allows precise control over amino acid sequence and compatibility with a wide range of chemical modifications. Research-grade peptides are typically supplied at microgram-to-gram scale and are not intended for clinical or therapeutic use.

What purity level do I need for research peptides?

Many in vitro assays use ≥90–95% purity, while early screening may tolerate lower purity. Tell us your application and we’ll recommend a practical target.

How long does custom peptide synthesis take?

Lead time depends on sequence length, complexity, modifications, purification level, and scale. Your quote includes an estimated ship date.

Do you provide HPLC/MS and a COA?

Yes. Standard characterization includes HPLC purity profiling and MS identity confirmation, documented in a Certificate of Analysis (COA).

Can you synthesize difficult peptides?

Yes. We support hydrophobic, long, cysteine-rich, and aggregation-prone sequences, with tailored synthesis and purification strategies.
