Canada Peptide

What Canada Peptide does

Canada Peptide is a privately held biotechnology company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Pointe-Claire (Montreal area), Quebec, Canada. It operates as a dual-platform specialty supplier serving scientific researchers, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, and laboratory operators. The core platform is custom and catalog synthetic research peptides — including categories such as ACTH, antimicrobial peptides, growth factors, cosmetic peptides, GHRFs, MSH, and LHRH analogs — delivered alongside in-house analytical services (HPLC, Mass Spectrometry, FTIR, DSC, Amino Acid Analysis) and non-GMP lyophilization/freeze-drying services. A proprietary offering, ArgoPro Peptide Protection, supports peptide stability and handling. Every custom synthesis includes HPLC analysis, and the firm claims the ability to deliver from small research-scale to kilogram-scale batches.

The second platform is a broad laboratory-supply e-commerce storefront offering 673+ SKUs across microscopes (compound, stereo, digital cameras), glassware (Erlenmeyer flasks, volumetric flasks, media bottles), plasticware (PCR tubes, cell strainers, cryogenic vials), equipment (autoclaves, pipettors, vortex mixers), porcelain ware, hydrometers, and refractometers. Products are priced individually with a free-shipping threshold for Canadian orders over $400, and the firm runs a loyalty program (Peptide Points) and new-customer discount codes.

Commercially, Canada Peptide employs a sales-led, hybrid model: self-service e-commerce for catalog items and laboratory supplies, paired with a direct, quote-based sales motion for custom peptide synthesis, analytical services, and lyophilization work targeting enterprise buyers in pharma, biotech, academia, and government. The website is bilingual (EN/FR), and the firm distributes globally while offering domestic shipping incentives in Canada. There is no disclosed ownership, funding, M&A, or partnership history; the company appears to be self-funded and bootstrapped.
