ExoLabz supplies COA-verified research compounds to laboratories, universities and independent researchers across Prince Edward Island, shipping from within Canada so that no island order clears customs.
Who orders in Prince Edward Island
The island’s research activity is small in absolute terms and concentrated almost entirely in Charlottetown. The University of Prince Edward Island is the principal address, including the Atlantic Veterinary College, which gives the province a research profile in comparative and animal health science that is disproportionate to its size. Health PEI, the National Research Council’s Charlottetown facility, Holland College and the companies associated with the PEI BioAlliance account for the remainder.
UPEI and the NRC receive centrally, so a delivery scan marks arrival at a dock rather than at a laboratory. Address to a department, a building and a named person. Where a purchase order or a written quotation must exist before an order can be raised, ask for it in advance; we issue quotations against a stated compound, quantity and delivery address.
Losses that happen between the vial and the assay
Every batch is tested independently and the certificates are published on this site. What the certificate cannot tell you is how much of the material reaches the experiment, and for work at low concentrations the gap can be substantial.
Peptides adsorb to surfaces. At high concentration the fraction lost to the walls of a tube, a tip or a plate well is negligible; at low working concentrations it is not, and because the loss is roughly proportional to surface area rather than to the amount present, it grows as a percentage the more dilute the solution becomes. A serial dilution prepared in ordinary polypropylene can therefore lose more at each successive step than the arithmetic accounts for, which flattens the bottom of a dose-response curve and shifts an apparent potency consistently in one direction. Low-binding consumables remove most of it, and a carrier protein in the diluent removes more where the assay tolerates one.
Sterile filtration is the other quiet loss. Passing a dilute peptide solution through a filter membrane can strip a meaningful fraction of it onto the membrane itself, and the effect is worst exactly where it is least affordable. Where filtration is necessary, filtering at the highest practical concentration and diluting afterwards preserves more than filtering the working solution does, and pre-rinsing the membrane helps. Neither of these is a fault in the material, which is why neither appears on a certificate. See aliquoting reconstituted peptides and net peptide content explained.
Regulatory position, stated plainly
Everything supplied here is for laboratory research use only. These compounds hold no Canadian market authorisation for human use and no Drug Identification Number, and they are not approved for human consumption or for clinical or veterinary application.
That limit is the offer rather than a qualification of it. There is no dosing information on this site, no protocol involving human or animal subjects and no claim about benefit or outcome, and none becomes available on request. Purchasers remain responsible for their own institutional requirements and for applicable provincial and federal regulation. See our notes on the regulatory status of research peptides in Canada.

The smallest province, and a fixed link
Prince Edward Island is connected to the mainland by the Confederation Bridge, which means — unlike Newfoundland or Vancouver Island — parcels arrive by road rather than on a scheduled crossing. In practice PEI behaves like a regional extension of New Brunswick: expect the Moncton window plus a day, without the clustering that a ferry or air leg introduces.
We deliver to Charlottetown, Summerside, Stratford, Cornwall and across the island.
Winter is the exception to that
High winds close the bridge to some traffic several times most winters, and freight stops when it does. That is a scheduling consideration rather than a materials one — lyophilised powder tolerates an extra day in transit — but if work is scheduled against a delivery, order with more margin between January and March.
Island humidity
The climate here is maritime: damp winters, humid summers, no temperature extremes. For hygroscopic material that puts the emphasis on the bench rather than on transit. Equilibrate closed vials to room temperature before opening, weigh promptly, reseal, and return to 2–8 °C. See storage and stability.
Tax on orders delivered in Prince Edward Island
An order delivered on Prince Edward Island attracts 15% HST, calculated at checkout on the delivery address and shown as a single harmonised line.
A GST/HST-registered buyer recovers the tax through the ordinary input tax credit. Quotations are issued tax-exclusive with the tax shown separately, so a purchase order can be raised against either figure.
No duty and no carrier brokerage apply, because a domestic parcel clears no customs.
