Our startup routinely orders the synthesis of hundreds of peptides for technology validation and drug discovery research (not suitable for human consumption). Costs for a small quantity through a contract research organizion can be $200-$2000 USD per peptide depending on desired purity, length, and chemical complexity. For some applications peptide arrays are suitable, and can drive the costs down to $10 USD per peptide or lower. In both cases, the turnaround time is 4-6 weeks, even though a peptide chemist could do the job in about half the time for a rush order.
