Research Use Only: what the labelling means

Why every vial reads "For Research Use Only", what follows from that and what we deliberately do not do.

Updated 18/09/2026 · PURA LABS editorial

All PURA LABS products are labelled For Research Use Only (RUO). This labelling is not a formality, it describes the sole intended purpose.

What RUO means

  • The products are intended for in vitro research and for laboratory investigations.
  • They are not medicinal products, not dietary supplements and not cosmetics.
  • They are not intended for use in humans or animals.

What follows from this for us

We therefore deliberately give:

  • no dosage information,
  • no usage recommendations,
  • no statements about effects in humans.

The studies in our study library are classified as scientific literature, with a clear statement of the type of evidence (for example preclinical or methodological). They are not product promises.
