Peptide Safety Data Sheets
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is the standardised document that communicates the hazards of a chemical and the precautions for handling it. Every sheet below follows the 16-section format of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), the structure required by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and specified by ANSI Z400.1.
The sixteen sections run in a fixed order — identification, hazard identification, composition, first-aid measures, fire-fighting, accidental release, handling and storage, exposure controls and personal protection, physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity, toxicological information, ecological information, disposal, transport, regulatory information, and other information. Because the order is fixed, a researcher who needs first-aid guidance or the incompatible-materials list knows exactly which section to open on any sheet, from any supplier.
For a laboratory, these documents are the basis of a compliant chemical hygiene plan: they inform the personal protective equipment a protocol calls for, the storage conditions and incompatibilities a compound requires, the spill and disposal procedure, and the information that has to be available to anyone handling the material. Each sheet states its own date of preparation and revision number.

A dash means the document states no value for that column. Blends and multi-vial kits have no single molecular weight — the per-component figures are given in section 3 of each sheet.
Safety Data Sheet Questions
What is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)?
A Safety Data Sheet is the standardised document that communicates the hazards of a chemical and the precautions for handling it. It follows the 16-section format of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), which is the structure required by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) and specified by ANSI Z400.1. An SDS is written for the person handling the substance, and it is the basis of a laboratory chemical hygiene plan.
What are the 16 sections of a Safety Data Sheet?
In fixed order: 1. Identification. 2. Hazard identification. 3. Composition and information on ingredients. 4. First-aid measures. 5. Fire-fighting measures. 6. Accidental release measures. 7. Handling and storage. 8. Exposure controls and personal protection. 9. Physical and chemical properties. 10. Stability and reactivity. 11. Toxicological information. 12. Ecological information. 13. Disposal considerations. 14. Transport information. 15. Regulatory information. 16. Other information. Because the order is fixed, first-aid guidance is always section 4, handling and storage always section 7, and disposal always section 13, on any sheet from any supplier.
Where do I find the Safety Data Sheet for a specific peptide?
Every sheet Peptide.Express publishes is listed in the table on this page, indexed by compound name and CAS number, and the catalog page for any compound documented here links directly to its sheet. Each sheet opens with a substance identity summary and a linked index of its sixteen sections.
Does a Safety Data Sheet state the purity of a batch?
No. An SDS describes the substance and how to handle it; it is not a batch record and carries no purity figure for material you received. Purity, identity confirmation, endotoxin result, lot number and test date are recorded on the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis, which is a separate document published in the Certificates of Analysis index.
How current are these Safety Data Sheets?
Each sheet states its own date of preparation and its own revision number, and both are shown on the page and published as structured data. Those values are read from the document itself, never from a build or publication timestamp. A safety data sheet is revised when the hazard information it carries changes, so a sheet that has not changed keeps its original date rather than being re-dated.
Are these materials safe for human or veterinary use?
No. Every compound documented here is supplied for laboratory research use only and is not for human consumption, and not for diagnostic, therapeutic, clinical or veterinary use. The sheets exist so that researchers handling the material in vitro have the hazard classification, personal protective equipment, storage, spill and disposal information the work requires.
