WuXi TIDES (revision 13)

WuXi TIDES (WuXi AppTec Testing Division) (trading as WXT; wuxitides.net) is a research-compound supplier trading as WXT from Wuxi, Jiangsu, China, incorporated in 2002 and distributing peptides, oligonucleotides and related research materials with batch documentation and tracked international shipping.^[1][2]

The organisation is one of twenty covered on PeptidePedia under Project:Vendor notability. Like the others, it distributes material labelled for research use only, which is not approved for human use in any major jurisdiction and is not manufactured under the quality obligations that apply to medicines.^[3]

The organisation dates its operations to 2002, which makes it among the older entities covered on this wiki and predates the current research-peptide market by roughly a decade.^[1] Its own material presents that longevity as continuity with a contract-research heritage in oligonucleotide and peptide chemistry, and the breadth of its oligonucleotide listings is consistent with a technical base wider than peptides alone.^[2]

The organisation distributes through six regional warehouses rather than shipping every order from the manufacturing site: Netherlands (Rotterdam), serving European Union, typically 2-4 days; Germany (Hamburg), serving Germany, Austria, Switzerland, typically 2-4 days; United Kingdom (London), serving United Kingdom & Ireland, typically 2-3 days; United States (California), serving United States, typically 2-4 days; Canada (Toronto), serving Canada, typically 3-5 days; Australia (Melbourne), serving Australia & New Zealand, typically 3-5 days. Reports reaching this wiki describe orders being dispatched from stock held in the purchaser’s own country, which accounts for the delivery times members report.
