Research Use Only Policy
PeptidesOnline supplies peptides and related materials for laboratory research purposes only. The products available through our website are intended for use in controlled research environments by suitably knowledgeable individuals, laboratories and research organisations.
They are not medicines, supplements, foods or cosmetic products, and they are not supplied for human or veterinary use.
This policy explains what we mean by “Research Use Only”, what customers should understand before placing an order, and the responsibilities that come with purchasing research materials from PeptidesOnline.
What Does 'Research Use Only' Mean?
When a product is marked Research Use Only (RUO), it means that it is supplied specifically for laboratory, analytical or scientific research.
Our peptides may be used for legitimate research activities such as analytical testing, method development, laboratory evaluation or other controlled experimental work.
Research-use-only products have not been supplied or presented as treatments for any medical condition. Information published on our website about individual peptides, laboratory testing or published research should not be interpreted as medical advice or as instructions for personal use.
The presence of research discussing a particular compound does not change the intended use of the products we supply.
Not for Human Consumption
Products sold by PeptidesOnline are not intended for human consumption.
They must not be swallowed, injected, inhaled, applied to the body or otherwise administered to a person. They are also not intended for veterinary administration.
This policy applies regardless of information a customer may have read elsewhere about a particular peptide.
PeptidesOnline does not provide dosing instructions, treatment plans or advice on using research peptides in humans. If you are searching for information about a medical condition or treatment, you should speak with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Laboratory Research and Handling
Research peptides require careful handling.
Customers should have suitable knowledge, facilities and procedures for working with laboratory materials before ordering. Appropriate storage conditions, protective equipment and laboratory practices should be considered according to the material being handled and the nature of the research.
Where available, product-specific documentation should also be reviewed before beginning laboratory work.
Information about storage, handling, testing and batch documentation is provided on our website to help researchers understand the materials supplied. This information relates to laboratory handling rather than personal or clinical use.
Product Testing and Documentation
We believe researchers should be able to see meaningful information about the materials they receive.
Where applicable, products are independently tested and supported by batch-specific documentation. Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) may contain information such as analytical results, purity findings, testing methods and batch identification.
A CoA is intended to provide laboratory information about a particular batch. It should not be interpreted as confirmation that a product is suitable for human consumption or therapeutic use.
Customers should always check that the batch information on their product corresponds with the relevant documentation.
Customer Responsibility
By purchasing from PeptidesOnline, customers acknowledge that the products are being obtained for research purposes.
It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that they have the appropriate knowledge and facilities to receive, store and handle the materials safely.
Customers are also responsible for understanding any laws, regulations, institutional rules or laboratory requirements that may apply to their work or location.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order where we reasonably believe that a product is being purchased for an inappropriate purpose or a use that conflicts with this policy.
Information Published on Our Website
Our website includes product information, research articles, testing information and educational material about peptides.
This content is provided to support understanding of peptide research and laboratory analysis. References to scientific papers, mechanisms being investigated or areas of research do not constitute an endorsement of a peptide for clinical or personal use.
We keep research information clear and properly separated from the commercial information associated with our products.
Where scientific publications are discussed, readers should refer to the original research when making decisions about experimental design or interpretation.
Questions About Research Products
If you have a question about batch documentation, independent testing, storage information or another laboratory-related aspect of a PeptidesOnline product, please contact our team before placing or using an order.
We are pleased to clarify information about the products we supply and the documentation available for individual batches.
We cannot provide medical advice, recommend dosages or advise customers on the personal use of research peptides.
