FAQ
Research-Use Policy
What does "Research Use Only" mean?
Research Use Only (RUO) means every product CORE LABS sells is manufactured, tested, and sold strictly for laboratory and scientific research purposes. Our products are not drugs, dietary supplements, cosmetics, or medical devices, and they are not intended for human or animal consumption, administration, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or cure of any disease.
Who can order from CORE LABS?
Our products are intended for purchase by qualified researchers, laboratories, and institutions for legitimate research purposes only. By placing an order, you acknowledge and agree to our Research-Use Policy and confirm the products will not be used for human or animal consumption or administration.
Can you tell me how to use, dose, or administer a product?
No. CORE LABS does not provide dosing, administration, reconstitution, or injection instructions of any kind, for any product, under any circumstances. Our team cannot answer questions framed around personal or animal use. Researchers should rely on their own institution's protocols and applicable literature.
Testing & COAs
How do I find the Certificate of Analysis for my order?
Visit the COA / Testing page and search by product name or batch/lot number (printed on your product label). Each COA shows the testing date, purity result, testing method, and testing laboratory for that specific batch.
How is purity determined?
Purity is determined through independent laboratory testing of each production batch, using analytical methods such as HPLC. Results are batch-specific and published as a Certificate of Analysis — always check the COA for the exact lot number you received.
