What does Research Use Only mean?

Research Use Only means a material is supplied strictly for laboratory research purposes. It has not been evaluated or approved as a drug, dietary supplement or cosmetic, and it is not for human or animal consumption.

Why can't I browse the nasal spray products publicly?

Nasal spray formats are classified Research Use Only. We deliberately exclude every RUO item from public pages and from search, because merchandising them alongside consumer products would imply a human use that is not permitted.

Which of your products are consumer products?

Two categories are consumer products and are documented publicly: oral dissolving strips, which are marketed as dietary supplements, and peptide skincare serums, which are cosmetic products for external use.

Who can access Research Use Only materials?

Only approved members who are qualified researchers or institutions, after accepting the research-use acknowledgement. Approval is reviewed individually and can be withdrawn.

Classification Policy

Research Use Only Products

Some materials we supply — including nasal spray formats — are classified Research Use Only. This page explains what that classification means and why those items are never presented as consumer products.

Research Use Only materials are for laboratory research use only. They are not for human or animal consumption, and they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. No dosing, administration or wellness guidance is provided for them.

What the classification means

Laboratory use only

Research Use Only (RUO) materials are supplied for in-vitro laboratory research. They are not drugs, not dietary supplements and not cosmetics.

Not for consumption

RUO materials are not for human or animal consumption, and no use, dosing or administration guidance is provided for them anywhere on this site.

Not publicly merchandised

RUO items are excluded from our public pages, sitemap and product listings. They are visible only to approved, verified members after an explicit acknowledgement.

Qualified purchasers only

Access is limited to qualified researchers and institutions who accept the research-use terms and who are responsible for compliant handling and disposal.

Our consumer categories

Keeping categories separate is the whole point of this policy. Two of our categories are consumer products and are documented in full on public pages: oral dissolving strips, marketed as dietary supplements, and peptide skincare serums, cosmetic products for external use.

Research Use Only materials sit outside both. They are not listed publicly, not included in our sitemap, and not described in consumer terms anywhere — including in search results, which is why you will not find a public catalogue page for them.
