What research-use-only means, in plain language

Research-use-only means the material is sold for laboratory, analytical, or other non-clinical work. It is not sold to be taken, injected, sprayed, or otherwise used by a person or an animal. The phrase is on the gate, the cart, the product page, and the receipt because it is the condition of the sale, not a slogan.

What we will not add to make the phrase softer

We do not publish reconstitution steps, click charts, or schedules. A page that tells you how to prepare a peptide for injection is a use page, whatever the footer says. We also do not borrow the brand name of a licensed medicine. If a substance has a licence, the licensed product is a different good, and we say so.

The age confirmation is 18. It is a condition of looking and of checking out. It is not a claim that an 18-year-old should use the material.

What the buyer is confirming

At the cart, the checkout button stays off until this sentence is ticked: “I confirm I am 18 or over and buying for research use only, not for human use.” The same confirmation is required again on the checkout page. Ticking it does not create a prescription, a medical relationship, or a payment. In this preview, ticking it does not even charge a card.

If you wanted a medicine, this is the wrong counter. A research catalogue is a poor and unlawful substitute for a prescriber and a licensed product.
