FAQ
General Information
What does “Research Use Only” mean?
“Research Use Only” (RUO) indicates that the products are intended strictly for laboratory-based research applications.
They are not approved for human consumption, medical use, or clinical application.
Are your products approved for human or veterinary use?
No. All products supplied by True Peptides are intended exclusively for research purposes.
They are not approved as medicinal products, food supplements, or medical devices.
Do you provide dosage or administration guidance?
No. True Peptides does not provide dosing information, administration instructions, or usage recommendations.
Quality & Testing
What is a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?
A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is a batch-specific document that provides analytical test results, typically including molecular identity and analytical purity.
It is used to verify that a batch meets defined analytical criteria.
Are your products independently tested?
Products are supported by analytical verification, which may include independent third-party laboratory testing depending on the batch.
Documentation is provided to support verification of key analytical parameters.
(Note: This wording is intentionally accurate without overpromising – adjust later if ALL batches are always third-party tested.)
What does “purity” mean in your analysis?
Analytical purity refers to the proportion of the target compound relative to detectable impurities, as measured by established analytical methods.
It does not imply suitability for human use or clinical application.
Batch & Traceability
What is a LOT number?
A LOT number is a unique identifier assigned to a specific production batch.
It allows materials to be linked to their corresponding analytical documentation and supports traceability.
How do I access the COA for my product?
Each product is associated with batch-specific documentation.
Where applicable, QR codes on packaging may be used to access the corresponding Certificate of Analysis (COA) for that specific batch.
Why is batch-level documentation important?
Batch-level documentation ensures that analytical data corresponds to the exact material being used.
This supports consistency, traceability, and reproducibility in research environments.
Storage & Handling
How should the products be stored?
Products should be stored refrigerated at 2–8 °C, unless otherwise specified.
Proper storage is required to maintain material integrity.
Does storage affect stability?
Yes. Improper storage conditions, temperature fluctuations, or exposure to unsuitable environments may affect product stability.
Stability may vary depending on the specific peptide.
Scope & Responsibility
Can these products be used in humans or animals?
No. These products are not intended for human or veterinary use under any circumstances.
Who is responsible for proper use?
The purchaser is responsible for ensuring that all materials are handled, stored, and used in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and research standards.
Do you make any claims about product effects?
No. True Peptides does not make claims regarding biological effects, performance, or outcomes.
All materials are supplied strictly as research compounds.
