ExoLabz supplies COA-verified research peptides to laboratories and independent researchers in Moncton. Orders are dispatched from within Canada, so a Moncton delivery clears no customs, attracts no import duty and no carrier brokerage.

Tax on orders delivered in Moncton

An order delivered in Moncton attracts 15% HST, calculated at checkout on the delivery address and shown as a single harmonised line.

New Brunswick is one of three provinces still at 15%, alongside Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island; Nova Scotia dropped to 14% in April 2025. Quotations are issued tax-exclusive with the tax shown separately, in English or French, so a purchase order can be raised against either figure.

Neither duty nor carrier brokerage applies to a domestic parcel, which is the comparison worth making whenever an imported listing looks cheaper on unit price alone.

Moncton as the Maritime distribution hub

This is the practical reason Moncton is worth its own page rather than a line on the provincial one. Moncton sits at the geographic centre of the Maritimes and functions as the region’s freight hub, which means two things for a delivery here.

First, domestic transit into Moncton is usually as good as into Halifax and better than into most of the region — a parcel routed through the Maritimes generally passes through Moncton anyway. Second, if material is destined for a smaller centre in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island, receiving it in Moncton is frequently a day faster than having it carried the whole way, because the onward leg runs on fewer services a week.

For work scheduled against a delivery, that is the difference between planning around a hub and planning around a spoke.

Maritime humidity, and winter interruption

Moncton’s climate is maritime rather than continental: winters are milder and considerably damper than the prairies, summers humid without extreme heat. For lyophilised peptides that shifts the concern from temperature onto moisture.

These compounds are hygroscopic, and high ambient humidity shows up at the bench rather than in transit: a vial opened in a damp room takes up water faster, and water in the cake accelerates hydrolysis and the deamidation of asparagine and glutamine residues — which matters particularly for sequences carrying an Asn-Gly or Asp-Gly motif. Equilibrate closed vials to room temperature, weigh promptly, reseal, and return to 2–8 °C. See weighing lyophilised peptides and where peptide impurities come from.

The other maritime note is scheduling rather than chemistry: an Atlantic storm interrupts regional transit for a day or two several times most winters, and every parcel in the region stops where it is. Order with more margin in February than in June.

Batch analysis

Batches are tested by third-party laboratories for identity and purity, with certificates published on this site including photographs of the batch. Vials carry no printed batch number and are matched to the certificate by cap and crimp colour against those photographs — check that before the material goes into storage. See reading a certificate of analysis and what to check on arrival.

Handling on arrival

Material arrives as a sealed lyophilised powder, which is stable across domestic transit without refrigeration. Put vials into a fridge at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius on receipt, still sealed, and allow one to come up to room temperature before opening it. The reason is condensation: a cold vial opened in a warm, humid room pulls moisture straight onto the cake, and that matters more on the coast than almost anywhere else in the country. See storage and stability for the detail.

Ordering from a Moncton institution

The research addresses in and around Moncton are few but active: the Universite de Moncton, the Atlantic Cancer Research Institute, research groups within the Vitalite Health Network at the Dr Georges-L-Dumont University Hospital Centre and within Horizon Health at The Moncton Hospital, and the New Brunswick Community College campus.

All receive centrally. The delivery scan happens at a dock and the internal transfer to a laboratory follows on the institution’s own schedule. Address to a department, a room and a named person as well as the building. Where a purchase order or a formal quotation must exist before the order is placed, request it first; we issue quotations against a stated compound, quantity and delivery address.

Documentation in both official languages

New Brunswick is the only officially bilingual province in Canada, and a substantial share of research buying here is done in French, particularly through the Universite de Moncton and the Vitalite network. Invoices, quotations and order confirmations are available in either language; say which you need when requesting a quotation rather than after the invoice has been issued.

Certificates of analysis are supplied as the testing laboratory produces them, which is in English. That is deliberate rather than an omission. A certificate is a primary analytical record from an independent third party, and reissuing a translated version under our own name would undermine the independence that gives it value. The numbers on it, the retention time, the observed mass, the purity figure and the method used, are the same in any language, and our guide to reading a certificate of analysis walks through each field.

What actually moves the delivery date

Moncton is the best-connected address in the Maritimes, so the compound and the destination are rarely the issue. Three other things are.

The dispatch cutoff comes first: an order placed after it joins the next dispatch, and a Friday afternoon order joins Monday’s. Because the Maritimes run an hour ahead of central Canada, a cutoff expressed in Eastern time falls later in the local day than you might expect, which occasionally buys you a day.

The overland corridor comes second. Everything inbound crosses New Brunswick by road, and winter conditions on that route move arrivals across the whole region at once.

The provincial calendar comes third. New Brunswick Day, on the first Monday in August, is a provincial observance that closes receiving departments here while much of the country works.

Where the supply stops

What we supply is a named compound in lyophilised form, at a stated quantity, with a third-party certificate of analysis for the batch in the vial, on a tracked domestic service.

What we do not supply, and will not supply on request, is anything describing use in a person or an animal: no dosing figures, no protocols involving living subjects, no claims of benefit or outcome. That boundary is what research-use-only supply consists of rather than a warning printed alongside it, and it does not vary with the customer.
