DIFFERENT PRODUCT GRADES

Research Grade
Primarily used in laboratory settings for experiments and basic research.
While often high in purity, this category does not necessarily meet the strict specifications
required for medical or pharmaceutical applications.

Analytical Grade (Reagent Grade)
Designed for precision testing and analysis in laboratory environments.
Generally meets strict purity and consistency standards, though these may differ from medical or pharmaceutical specifications.

Technical / Industrial Grade
Intended for use in large-scale industrial processes or manufacturing, where ultra-high purity may not be critical.
Less expensive due to broader tolerance for impurities.

Food Grade
Meets guidelines suitable for consumption or contact with food products.
Overseen by regulatory authorities (e.g., the Food Standards Agency in the UK).

Cosmetic Grade
Focuses on safety and purity for topical application in skincare, beauty, or personal care products.
Regulatory requirements differ from those for pharmaceutical or medical use.

Medical Grade
Conforms to standards set by official pharmacopeias such as the United States Pharmacopeia (USP)or the British Pharmacopoeia (BP).

This ensures the product meets specific criteria around identity, potency, purity, and quality, and is often referred to as “pharmaceutical grade.”

 

CHEMICAL CONTENTS

Name of peptide or chemical blend
(Can be a brand name, chemical structure, or IUPAC systematic name)

This ensures that researchers can accurately identify the substance, whether using a commonly recognised brand label, the precise structural formula, or the internationally standardised nomenclature system

CAP/PACK COLOURS

Easy product range reference as cap colour matches the online catalogue colours and usually is matched to the chemical weight or contents.

MEASURE/WEIGHT

Amount of chemical content in milligrams (mg), micrograms (ug) or millilitres (ml) etc.
Pre-mixed contents will be displayed as mg per ml.

Production Details:
Date and time of manufacture.
Production location and the specific line or facility used.
Raw materials or ingredients involved, including their source.

Quality Control:
Testing results or certifications associated with that batch.
Any special steps or deviations during the production process.

Traceability & Recall Procedures:
Enables quick identification and retrieval of affected products in the event of a
defect or safety concern. Facilitates investigations into root causes and helps

prevent similar issues in the future.

Potency and Safety
Over time, active ingredients can degrade, reducing efficacy and potentially introducing safety concerns.

Once past the expiration date, the product may no longer perform as intended, even if it still looks usable.

Regulatory Compliance
Many regulatory agencies require expiry dates to ensure that end users are aware of the timeframe within which the product is considered reliable.

These rules help maintain public safety and confidence in medical, pharmaceutical, and research products.

Safety Sheet
Every product we supply has a QR Code printed on the outer packaging, which, when scanned, opens a dedicated webpage displaying the full safety sheet.

This document details all the essential information for safe handling and storage,
including hazard classifications, recommended protective equipment, and emergency procedures.

It also provides guidelines on proper disposal and regulatory compliance, ensuring that anyone working with the product understands both its risks and best practices for maintaining a secure laboratory or work environment.
