Strate Labs, an online supplier of research compounds, has permanently closed. If you used to order from Strate Labs, this page covers what’s known about the closure, the unconfirmed claim that it reopened, and how to check a new supplier before you order.
All compounds discussed are sold for laboratory research use only and are not for human consumption.
The short version
- Strate Labs posted a permanent-closure notice around July 1, 2026.
- The notice says the regulatory landscape shifted in ways that made it impossible to keep operating the way it wanted to.
- As of October 24, 2026, its website still shows the closure notice.
- An October 2026 paid press release claims the brand reopened on a different domain. That claim is unconfirmed.
What we know about the Strate Labs closure
Strate Labs’ website says it has permanently closed and that, rather than compromise on quality, transparency and integrity, it chose to close. The notice now refers customers to two other vendors and says they are independent and not affiliated with Strate Labs.
On October 19, 2026, a paid press release claimed Strate Labs had returned to operations on a new domain. Strate Labs’ own website still shows the closure notice, and nothing public ties the new domain to the original company.
Strate Labs is one of several research suppliers that closed in 2026. See our tracker of research vendor closures for the full list.
If you had an open Strate Labs order or store credit
- Contact the company’s support directly, if a contact is still listed. It’s the only direct route to your order.
- Save your receipts, order emails and tracking numbers.
- If you paid by card and never received your order, ask your card issuer about a dispute before the time limit runs out.
- Download any lab reports you rely on while the company’s pages are still online.

How to choose a new research supplier
When a vendor you trusted closes, it’s tempting to pick the next cheapest listing. A better approach is to check every candidate against the same short list:
- A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis for the exact product and batch you would receive, not a generic or old report.
- Purity and identity on the same report. HPLC shows purity. Mass spectrometry confirms the compound is what the label says.
- A way to verify the report with the lab that issued it, such as a lab-hosted link or a QR code, so you are not relying on a PDF anyone could edit.
- A real, reachable business: working support email and phone, clear shipping and refund policies, and a U.S. shipping origin if speed matters to you.
- Buyer protection. Be cautious with any new vendor that only accepts payment methods you can’t dispute, like wire transfers or gift cards.

How Rogue Compounds compares on those checks
- Batch COAs: every product page shows the COA for the batch currently shipping, and every passing batch is public in our COA Library.
- Purity and identity: each batch is tested by an independent, ISO 17025 accredited U.S. laboratory for HPLC purity and mass spectrometry identity.
- Lab verification: each vial label carries a batch number and a QR code that opens that batch’s report on the testing lab’s own website.
- Shipping: U.S. only, by UPS 2-Day, with same-day dispatch on orders placed by 12 PM MT. P.O. Box orders ship USPS Priority Mail.
- Sourcing: small batches made only for Rogue, with new batches made in the USA. See where our peptides are made.
Rogue Compounds is not affiliated with Strate Labs and has no access to its orders, customer accounts or records.
