Research Policy

1. Intended Use

All products sold by Pure Peptides are intended exclusively for in vitro research, laboratory analysis, and scientific investigation. Our compounds are not intended for:

• Human consumption, self-administration, or injection
• Veterinary or animal use
• Diagnostic or therapeutic purposes
• Food, cosmetic, or supplement formulation
• Any use outside of a controlled research environment

2. Buyer Eligibility

By purchasing from Pure Peptides, you confirm that you are:

• At least 18 years of age
• A qualified researcher, scientist, or representative of a licensed research institution
• Purchasing compounds for legitimate scientific research purposes only
• Aware of and compliant with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction regarding the purchase, possession, and use of research chemicals

Pure Peptides reserves the right to refuse any order that appears to be placed for non-research purposes or by individuals who do not meet these eligibility criteria.

3. Regulatory Compliance

It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to ensure that the purchase, importation, possession, and use of any compound is lawful in their country or jurisdiction. Regulations governing research chemicals vary significantly between jurisdictions and may change over time.

Pure Peptides does not provide legal advice and makes no representations regarding the legality of any compound in any specific jurisdiction. Buyers are strongly encouraged to consult with legal counsel before placing an order if they are uncertain about applicable regulations.

4. AHG-Compliant Naming Standards

Pure Peptides uses Australasian Hormone Group (AHG) compliant naming conventions for all peptide compounds. This means we use the scientific or IUPAC name of the compound rather than common trade names or brand names that may be associated with pharmaceutical or clinical applications.

This naming convention is designed to clearly communicate that our products are research-grade compounds and not pharmaceutical preparations. All compounds are identified by their CAS registry number where available.

5. Quality Assurance

Every compound in our catalogue undergoes rigorous quality control before being made available for purchase:

• HPLC purity verification to confirm ≥99.6% purity
• Mass spectrometry (MS) for molecular weight confirmation
• Third-party laboratory testing for independent verification
• Certificate of Analysis (COA) issued for every batch
• Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) available upon request

6. Safe Handling

Research compounds must be handled with appropriate care and in accordance with standard laboratory safety protocols. We recommend:

• Using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times
• Storing compounds at the recommended temperature (typically −20°C for long-term storage)
• Keeping compounds away from moisture, heat, and direct light
• Following all safety guidelines outlined in the MSDS
• Disposing of compounds in accordance with local regulations for chemical waste
