Compliance & RUO Policy
The plain-language statement of how Sable Point Research Aminos operates: what we sell, who we sell it to, how we verify quality, and what we require of every researcher who orders from us. This page is canonical: when policies conflict with marketing copy elsewhere on the site, this page governs.
The Policy in One Sentence
Every product sold by Sable Point Research Aminos is supplied exclusively For Research Use Only (RUO), is not a drug, supplement, food, or cosmetic, and is not intended for human or veterinary consumption under any circumstance.
What "Research Use Only" Means
"Research Use Only" (RUO) refers to materials intended exclusively for in vitro laboratory research, scientific experimentation, and educational use consistent with 21 CFR and applicable U.S. federal guidelines. RUO products:
- Are not drugs, biologics, dietary supplements, food, or cosmetics.
- Have not been evaluated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
- Are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or mitigate any disease or medical condition.
- Are not for compounding, reformulation, or administration in any form.
Regulatory Framework
Sable Point Research Aminos operates under U.S. federal regulations governing the sale of research-use chemical reagents and laboratory materials. The relevant framework includes:
- 21 CFR (FDA regulations): we label, market, and sell only as RUO and never as drugs or dietary supplements.
- FTC truth-in-advertising: we do not make therapeutic, weight-loss, anti-aging, or other health claims about our products.
- Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS): the company is organized under Nevada law and operates from Las Vegas, NV.
- State-level consumer-protection statutes: we honor CCPA and equivalent state privacy obligations. See our Privacy Policy.
Customer Attestation
Before placing any order, a researcher must complete a Research Use Only attestation. By signing, the customer certifies that:
- They are at least 21 years of age.
- They are acting in a research, scientific, or educational capacity.
- Products will be used solely for in vitro research and laboratory study.
- They will not administer products to themselves, any other person, or any animal.
- They will not resell, redistribute, or transfer products for any purpose other than legitimate research collaboration with another verified researcher.
- They will not make any medical or therapeutic claim based on Sable Point products.
The signed attestation is logged with the account and is required to remain on file as a condition of continued catalog access.
Quality & Testing
A policy on paper means little without testing behind it. Our standards:
- Independent third-party testing. Every batch is submitted to an accredited laboratory we do not own and do not pay outside the test fee. We do not run our own assays and publish them as a "COA."
- Full COA archive. Every Certificate of Analysis is published on the product page, including for batches that failed and were destroyed. Disclosed failure is a mark of integrity.
- Batch traceability. Each order references the specific batch number; customers can cross-reference the published COA at any time.
- Identity + purity. Our standard panel includes HPLC purity, mass-spectrometry identity confirmation, and where applicable, residual-solvent and endotoxin testing.
- Failed-batch disclosure. A failed batch and its associated COA are never silently removed. They appear in the "Historical Batches" section of the relevant product page.
Scheduled-Substance Posture
Sable Point does not sell DEA-scheduled controlled substances. The catalog is limited to research peptides and amino-acid derivatives that are lawful to supply for in vitro research in the United States. If a product becomes subject to new scheduling or regulatory restriction, it is removed from the catalog immediately.
Shipping & Jurisdictional Limits
Products ship from our facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. Shipping is limited to U.S. jurisdictions where the sale of research-use peptides is permitted. International shipping is not currently offered. Customers are responsible for ensuring that receipt of products in their jurisdiction is lawful. If state-level law changes, we reserve the right to suspend shipping to that jurisdiction without notice.
No Medical Claims
Sable Point Research Aminos does not endorse, suggest, or imply that any product is safe or effective for human or animal use. Nothing on this site is medical advice. Any reproduction of our content that adds therapeutic claims is a violation of our Terms of Service and will be referred to our legal counsel.
Enforcement
Sable Point reserves the right to refuse service, cancel pending orders, and terminate accounts where misuse is suspected, including (but not limited to):
- Attempts to bypass or fraudulently complete the RUO attestation.
- Evidence of consumer resale or downstream redistribution for human or veterinary use.
- Any marketing of Sable Point products with medical, therapeutic, anti-aging, weight-loss, or dietary-supplement claims.
- Any attempt to obtain products in jurisdictions where their sale is restricted.
Records of the COA, the customer attestation, and the order history are retained for compliance review.
Privacy & Data Handling
Sable Point collects only the information needed to verify a researcher account, fulfill an order, and meet our compliance and tax obligations. We do not sell personal information. The full statement is in our Privacy Policy.
