Products and research use
What does "research use only" mean?
It means the product is supplied for laboratory research purposes. It is not a food, not a supplement, and not for human consumption. This designation applies to every product in our catalog.
Are these products intended for human consumption?
No. Products are offered for laboratory research purposes only and are not for human consumption.
How are products labeled?
Labeling identifies the product, the amount supplied and the lot it belongs to, and carries the research-use designation. We do not publish usage guidance on labels or on this site.
Do you publish information about what these products do?
No. Our product pages describe what a product is and what documentation exists for it. They do not describe effects, applications or outcomes of any kind.
COA Library
What is a COA?
A certificate of analysis is a document produced by a testing laboratory that records what was tested, when, and what the laboratory reported. Where one has been released for a lot and cleared for publication, we link it on the product page.
Where can I find product documentation?
On the product page for the item itself, and collected together in the COA Library. Both link to the same file, so you can start from whichever is more convenient.
What if there is no document listed for a product?
Every product listed for sale has documentation linked on its page. If you need a record for a specific lot other than the one shown, contact support and we will confirm what is available.
Orders and shipping
How do I place an order?
Add the products you want to your cart, then go to checkout. An account is required to order. At checkout you will be asked to select your research field, accept our terms, and confirm the research-use acknowledgment before the order can be placed.
How does shipping work?
Orders are processed on business days. Delivery timing depends on the destination and the service chosen at checkout. Tracking details are emailed when an order ships and are also shown in your account.
Can I edit or cancel an order?
If the order has not shipped, we will do our best to help. Contact support as soon as possible with your order number. Once an order has shipped it can no longer be changed.
Why do I need an account to order?
Orders are placed against an account so that purchase records, documentation and the acknowledgments accepted at checkout stay associated with the purchaser. You can create one during checkout; it takes a moment.
Why am I asked for my research field?
Products here are supplied for laboratory research only. Recording the research field at checkout is part of how we keep that boundary clear, and it is a condition of the payment processing we use.
Can you deliver to a PO Box?
No. Orders ship to street addresses only, so a PO Box cannot be accepted at checkout. Please enter an address where the order can be received.
Account and support
How do I access my account?
Use the account link in the site header to sign in, or create an account during checkout. From there you can see your orders, track shipments, manage addresses and update your details.
How can I contact support?
Use the form on the contact page and choose the topic that matches your question. Including your order number helps us answer on the first reply.
