Research Use Disclaimer

Every compound sold on this website is supplied as a laboratory reagent. It is intended to be handled by qualified personnel inside a controlled research setting — an academic, institutional, industrial or independent laboratory — for in-vitro work, analytical method development, reference standards and similar scientific purposes.

Products are shipped as lyophilized material in single research vials. They are not formulated, packaged, labelled or sold as food, as a drug, as a cosmetic, or as any article intended for personal use. No product on this site has been through the manufacturing, sterility, or quality processes that would be required of a finished medicinal product, and none is offered as one.

Purity figures, lot numbers and certificates of analysis published on this site describe the analytical characteristics of the material as received from the testing laboratory. They are a statement about chemical identity and purity. They are not a statement of suitability for any use in a person or an animal.

By placing an order you represent and warrant that all of the following are true.

• You are at least 18 years of age and legally able to enter into a contract.
• You are a qualified researcher, a laboratory professional, or you are ordering on behalf of a research institution, university, laboratory or comparable organisation.
• You have the training, facilities and equipment to receive, store, handle and dispose of research chemicals safely.
• You are acquiring the material strictly for laboratory research and for no other purpose.
• You are not acquiring the material for yourself, for another person, or for any animal.

We reserve the right to decline or cancel any order, in whole or in part, where we have reason to believe these representations are not accurate.

For research use only. Not for human consumption.

Nothing sold here may be administered to, ingested by, injected into, applied to, or otherwise used in or on a human being or an animal. This restriction is absolute. It applies to you, to anyone in your household, to your colleagues, to your clients and to any laboratory animal.

You may not resell, redistribute, repackage or relabel any product for personal use, nor supply it to any person or organisation you have reason to believe intends to use it in a person or an animal. Doing so is a breach of these terms and, in most jurisdictions, of the law.

Nothing on this website — product pages, category descriptions, published literature summaries, blog content or customer correspondence — is medical advice, and none of it should be read as a recommendation, protocol or instruction for use in a person. References to published research describe what investigators have studied. They do not describe an outcome you should expect, and they are not an endorsement of any use outside a laboratory.

The purchaser is solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations in the purchaser's local jurisdiction. The seller makes no representation that these products are legal or appropriate for purchase, possession, or use in any particular jurisdiction.

The legal status of research chemicals differs from country to country, and often from state to state or province to province. A compound that may be lawfully imported and held for research in one place may be restricted, controlled or prohibited in another. Customs authorities in your country may inspect, delay, seize or destroy a shipment under rules that are entirely outside our control.

Before you order, it is your responsibility to establish that you may lawfully purchase, import, possess, store and use the material where you are. We do not provide legal advice and we cannot assess your local position for you. Where a shipment is refused or seized by an authority because of the purchaser’s local rules, the purchaser bears that loss.

Handle every product as a hazardous laboratory chemical of unknown biological activity. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, work in a suitably ventilated and controlled space, and keep material out of reach of anyone not trained to handle it.

• Lyophilized material should be kept sealed, cold and protected from light until it is needed for work.
• Reconstituted material should be handled under your laboratory’s own written procedures for prepared reagents.
• Dispose of unused material and empty vials in accordance with your institution’s chemical waste procedures and applicable local regulations.

[LEGAL ENTITY NAME — TO BE SUPPLIED] supplies research material only. We have no control over, and accept no responsibility for, what is done with a product after it leaves our facility. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability for any loss, injury, damage or legal consequence arising from any use of a product outside a laboratory research setting, and from any breach of this disclaimer by a purchaser or by anyone the purchaser supplies.

The full terms that apply to your order — including order acceptance, pricing and the limits on our liability — are set out in our terms and conditions.
