Research use only
Products offered by brands operating on the RUO Pro platform are intended strictly for laboratory research use only (“RUO”). They are not for human or animal consumption and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.
Not evaluated as drugs or supplements
Research-use-only products are not drugs, dietary supplements, foods, cosmetics, or medical devices. They have not been evaluated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any other regulatory authority for safety or effectiveness in humans, and no statement about them should be read as a medical or health claim. Nothing on this website is medical advice.
Buyer responsibility
Purchasers are responsible for handling research-use-only materials safely and lawfully, and for ensuring their use complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and institutional policies. These materials should be handled only by qualified individuals trained in laboratory procedures.
How RUO Pro supports compliance
The platform enforces research-use-only labeling on products, applies claims guardrails that flag human-use language before content publishes, attaches a certificate of analysis to each batch, and keeps an audit trail. These controls support — but do not replace — each brand’s own legal and regulatory responsibility for what it sells and how it describes it. Research Use Only, not for human consumption.
