Research Use Only, plainly
Research Use Only (RUO) means these materials are sold for laboratory and research use. They are not drugs, foods, cosmetics, or medical devices; they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease; and they are not for human or animal consumption.
This is not marketing fine print. It is the constraint that governs every page: no product description, review, calculator, or guarantee on this site implies human-use efficacy or dosing guidance.
Why publish COAs if it's research-only?
Because purity and identity are legitimate research concerns independent of any use claim. A researcher needs to know exactly what a vial contains. That's why the trust infrastructure (COAs, mass-spec identity, endotoxin data) is rigorous while the efficacy claims stay at zero.
This guide and the legal page are the same source
This article is written from the same source as the canonical Legal / RUO Statement. If counsel tightens the legal language, this guide updates with it, by design, so the two never drift apart.
