UK research compliance basics

Every compound in this catalogue is supplied for in vitro laboratory research. They are not medicines, they are not licensed by the MHRA, and they are not for human or veterinary administration. That statement is a condition of sale, not a formality.

In practice this means the material stays in a research setting and is logged like any other reagent: date received, lot number, storage location, quantity used, and the study it was consumed by.

Keep the certificate of analysis with the record. If a result is ever questioned, the ability to link a data point back to a specific tested lot is what makes the work defensible.

Dispose of unused solution and empty vials through your normal laboratory waste stream. Do not return opened vials by post.

If you are unsure whether an intended use falls inside these terms, ask us before ordering. We would rather decline a sale than supply material for a purpose it was never intended for.
