I might echo George's comments by adding that cheap can also mean a lot of
buffer salts in the final lot and impure contaminants.  I have purchased
peptides where up to 40% of the wieght was buffer salts.  Also ask for and
check the QC specs - I have also seen people get peptides which looked pure
because the company ran a very fast RPHPLC gradient to compress all the
impurities into one peak.  One compnay we work with routinely is QCB
Biochemicals.   Jordan Fishman runs the place and will work with you to
deliver whatever you need (he even conjugates and prepares antibodies) for a
very reasonable price.  He hasn't disappointed us yet.
