General Information
What are peptides?
Peptides are short sequences of amino acids. In laboratory settings, they’re valuable tools for studying protein interactions, signaling pathways, and structure–function relationships.
What are peptide-based diagnostics?
These are research tools that use designed peptides to recognise specific molecular targets in experimental systems, helping scientists measure or visualise biological events with precision.
Are your products for human or animal use?
No. Products supplied by AussieBio Labs are strictly for laboratory research. They are not intended for human or veterinary use, clinical applications, or any form of consumption.
Applications of Peptides
How are peptides used in research?
Common laboratory uses include:
Probing protein–protein interactions and enzyme activity
Mapping epitopes and signaling pathways
Building calibration standards and assay controls
Developing experimental biosensors and analytical methods
What are peptide biosensors?
Peptide biosensors incorporate target-binding sequences into detection platforms so researchers can monitor specific molecules or conditions under controlled experimental parameters.
What is peptide conjugation?
Conjugation links a peptide to another entity—such as a fluorophore, nanoparticle, carrier protein, or polymer—to improve detection, stability, delivery, or assay performance in research.
Synthesis & Technology
What is solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS)?
SPPS assembles peptides step-by-step on an insoluble resin, enabling efficient, high-purity production and straightforward purification suitable for research applications.
How does computational peptide design support research?
In silico design helps select and refine sequences for binding, stability, or solubility, increasing the likelihood that a peptide will behave as intended in laboratory assays.
Can peptides be combined with emerging technologies?
Yes. Researchers frequently integrate peptides with nanotech, microfluidics, biosensing, and bioelectronic systems to extend analytical capabilities.
Storage & Handling
How should peptides be stored?
Unreconstituted (lyophilised) peptides should be kept dry and cool, away from light. After reconstitution, follow your laboratory’s SOPs; many peptides are stored in aliquots at low temperatures to reduce freeze–thaw cycles. Always consult the specific product notes before use.
Compliance & Usage
What guidelines should researchers follow?
Users must comply with institutional policies, safety data sheets (SDS), relevant regulations, and ethics approvals where required. AussieBio Labs products are for in-vitro/in-vivo experimental use in approved research settings only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
