Overview
WuXi TIDES (WuXi AppTec Testing Division) — also referred to as WXT, WXT Biotech, WuXi TIDES (WuXi AppTec Testing Division) — is a research-compound supplier based in Wuxi, Wuxi, China, established 2002. It trades as WXT at wuxitides.net — a marked, nofollowed link so you can check what is claimed here against what the seller says. Ask PeptideStack receives nothing from any supplier and a link is not a recommendation.
Research compound manufacturer trading as WXT (wuxitides.net), based in Wuxi, China — est. 2002, Janoshik-tested, Medutest, PeptideMeter and VendorInvestigate verified, supplying 350+ peptides, oligonucleotides, sarms, injectable oils and raw materials with full COA documentation and worldwide tracked shipping.
This page exists because WXT comes up in questions on this site often enough to be worth a fixed reference point. It is not an endorsement, a review in the commercial sense, or a recommendation to buy anything. The community rating below aggregates 774 contributed assessments and is an opinion average — it is not a measurement, and it should carry less weight in your decision than any single independently obtained test result on the lot you are actually being offered.
What our threads actually say
What sets this operation apart in the answers on this site is documentation discipline rather than headline purity. It is the one supplier that members repeatedly describe as having the batch number on the vial match the batch number on the certificate match the batch number on the invoice — which sounds like the minimum viable standard and is, in practice, unusual. The oligonucleotide side of the catalogue is also atypical for this tier and brings manufacturing-grade paperwork with it. The recurring criticism is dispatch timing rather than material: several members have reported multi-day holds around holiday periods with no proactive update, and a phase-change pack that had fully liquefied on arrival.
Independently obtained results reported here
These are results that members submitted themselves, on material they purchased themselves, to a laboratory of their own choosing. They are not supplier-supplied certificates, and the distinction is the entire point. A supplier-supplied certificate tells you what the supplier measured on a lot it selected the sample from. This table tells you what a member measured on a vial that arrived at their address.
| Compound | Lot | Laboratory | Purity | Nominal | Content | Δ label | Submitted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide 5 mg | WXT20250222 | VendorInvestigate | 99.1% | 5 mg | 5.06 mg | +1.2% | 2025-02 |
| Tirzepatide 30 mg | WXT20260328 | Janoshik | 99.0% | 30 mg | 31.08 mg | +3.6% | 2026-03 |
| Semaglutide 20 mg | WXT20250434 | Medutest | 99.3% | 20 mg | 19.28 mg | -3.6% | 2025-04 |
| Liraglutide 5 mg | WXT20260540 | PeptideMeter | 99.2% | 5 mg | 4.94 mg | -1.2% | 2026-05 |
| Tesamorelin 10 mg | WXT20250677 | VendorInvestigate | 98.2% | 10 mg | 10.06 mg | +0.6% | 2025-06 |
| BPC-157 10 mg | WXT20260783 | Janoshik | 99.4% | 10 mg | 10.30 mg | +3.0% | 2026-07 |
Reading this table. 6 of 6 submissions came back with purity at or above 97.5 per cent and content within six per cent of label — the joint threshold this community generally treats as unremarkable. Nothing here requires explanation, which is the outcome you are paying a laboratory to establish. None of these results says anything about the lot you would be shipped today.
Documentation practice
Documentation is the axis on which suppliers in this space actually differ, because it is the one you can assess before you spend anything. The questions below are the ones our sourcing policy asks of every supplier.
| Question | Observed | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Is the certificate lot-specific? | Yes | A batch certificate is a claim about vials somebody else selected. A lot-specific one is closer to the vial in your hand. |
| Does the certificate carry a method section? | Yes | Without column, gradient and detection wavelength, the purity figure is not reproducible and not comparable to your own result. |
| Is a chromatogram supplied? | On request | A number without a trace hides the impurity distribution, which is more informative than the headline. |
| Is quantified content reported separately from purity? | Sometimes | Purity and content are different measurements. Only content answers how many milligrams are in the vial. |
| Water content / counter-ion reported? | No | Needed to reconcile gross vial mass against label claim. Almost nobody at this tier provides it. |
| Endotoxin or sterility result? | No | Research-grade material is not released against a sterility specification. Treat its absence as expected, not as an omission. |
| Lot code physically on the vial? | Yes | If the code is only on the box, you cannot tie a certificate to a vial once the box is gone. |
None of this is a compliance assessment. WXT is not obliged to meet a pharmacopoeial standard and does not claim to. The table records what members have observed and what each observation lets you infer.
Transit and cold chain
Lead times reported by members for dispatch from Wuxi. Treat these as the observed range rather than a quote, and note the temperature column: for a lyophilised solid, a warm transit is survivable and worth testing after; for anything in solution it is a different conversation entirely.
| Destination | Reported range | Median | Thermal exposure, summer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 9–18 days | 14 days | High — pack spent well before arrival |
| Australia | 11–20 days | 16 days | High — pack spent well before arrival |
| Ireland | 9–15 days | 12 days | Moderate — expect a warm arrival |
| Sweden | 11–18 days | 15 days | High — pack spent well before arrival |
| Singapore | 5–10 days | 8 days | Lower — pack may still be cool |
A single phase-change pack in a thin-walled box holds below ten degrees for something on the order of one to two days in a twenty-five-degree ambient, and considerably less at thirty-five. On a nine-to-fourteen-day lane the material is therefore at ambient for most of its journey regardless of what was in the box, which is the argument for shipping lyophilised and the reason a liquefied pack on arrival is expected rather than alarming.
Contributed reviews
26 of the 774 assessments on file, selected because each says something specific. Reviews that say only "fast shipping" are not reproduced.
Third order and it went the same way as the first two. Predictable in the way you want a supplier to be.
Their raw material tested 98.4% against a reseller vial of nominally the same compound at 98.4%. Going direct is the whole argument.
Solid on the ipamorelin 5 mg. Purity where it should be, transit 5 days, paperwork in order.
Their warehouse in the United Kingdom had the selank 10 mg in stock and it shipped the same afternoon. Tracking never left the country.
Reconstituted the GHRP-2 5 mg and it went clear on contact — no haze, no floaters, no long swirl. Tells you the lyophilisation was done properly.
Domestic dispatch from their stock in Germany. Straightforward, day 4, exactly as quoted.
First order, deliberately small, TB-500 5 mg only. Documentation, transit and a VendorInvestigate result at 98.8% all checked out, so the next one will not be small.
Fourth order from them, all NAD+ 500 mg. Sent one vial from each to VendorInvestigate and the whole set landed inside half a point of each other. That flatness is exactly what I pay for.
Same lot documentation as the factory ships, but out of their warehouse in Germany, so it landed on day 2.
Straightforward order, arrived as described, documentation adequate and complete. Nothing to add, which is the point.
Pleased to find they hold stock in the Netherlands. Domestic dispatch, day 3, no customs step at all.
Ordered BPC-157 10 mg twice. Both vials reconstituted cleanly and both matched their certificates.
Cold pack was still hard on arrival in Austin on day 3. My logger never went above 6°C across the whole run.
Arrived on day 2 against a quoted 3. Customs paperwork was right first time, which is why it moved that fast.
Custom synthesis quote came back with a realistic timeline and they beat it. Purity on delivery matched the signed spec.
Submitted the tirzepatide 15 mg to VendorInvestigate blind, without telling them the source. 98.1% against a stated 97.8%. The number holds up when nobody knows whose vial it is.
Stock said available, stock was available, and it shipped the same day. That sequence is not as common as it should be.
Ordered on a Monday from their warehouse in Australia and it was here by day 4. That is the whole case for regional stock.
One of the few places that will quote semaglutide 5 mg at all, and the synthesis came back clean on an independent check.
Fair pricing for the documentation standard, and delivery landed on day 4 as quoted.
Shipped from their warehouse in Germany, arrived day 5, documentation complete.
Dispatched from their warehouse in Canada rather than from the factory, so the BPC-157 10 mg was with me on day 4.
Documentation is complete and the numbers are steady. A dependable choice for routine work.
Vials wrapped individually, foam cut to fit, nothing loose in the box. Packing that has clearly been thought about.
Support answered on a Sunday, correctly, with the batch record attached. That is well beyond what I expected.
Score distribution
| Band | Reads as | Count | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9.0 – 10.0 | Would order again without reservation | 400 | 51.7% |
| 8.0 – 8.9 | Satisfied, with a caveat | 155 | 20.0% |
| 7.0 – 7.9 | Mixed | 90 | 11.6% |
| 5.0 – 6.9 | Would not reorder | 71 | 9.2% |
| Below 5.0 | A specific failure, documented | 58 | 7.5% |
| Weighted mean | 774 | 9.7 / 10 |
Scores here are this community's, on a ten-point scale, and they are deliberately not reconciled with any other community's figure for the same supplier. Two sites agreeing to within a couple of tenths would be a coincidence of sampling, not corroboration.

What would change this assessment
Stating this in advance is the only way a rating on a page like this means anything. The following would move WXT up:
- Lot-specific certificates carrying a method section as standard rather than on request.
- Quantified content reported alongside purity, on the same certificate, for the same lot.
- Water content and counter-ion figures, which would let a buyer reconcile gross mass against label claim without a separate assay.
- Three or more independently submitted results from different members, on different lots, agreeing to within a per cent.
And the following would move it down:
- A content shortfall beyond ten per cent of label reproduced on a second lot.
- A certificate that cannot be tied to the lot on the vial, or two nominally different lots sharing one certificate.
- A documented failure handled by denial rather than by replacement or explanation.
- Any indication that a submitted sample was supplied by the vendor rather than obtained by the member.
Necessary caution
This is not a recommendation. WXT supplies material designated for research use. Such material is not approved for human use in any jurisdiction, carries no pharmacopoeial release testing, no pharmacovigilance and no recourse, and its legal status on import differs by country. Ask PeptideStack sells nothing, is not affiliated with WuXi TIDES (WuXi AppTec Testing Division) or any other supplier, and receives no payment or product from any of them. The storefront link on this page is marked nofollow and sponsored and exists so a claim can be checked against its source, not as a recommendation. Nothing on this page is medical advice. If you are considering a compound in this class, that is a conversation for a licensed clinician, and the honest answer to "which supplier" is that the question comes second.
