Frequently Asked Questions
What does RUO mean?
Research Use Only. Compounds are supplied solely for laboratory and in-vitro research. They are not for human or veterinary use, not drugs or supplements, and not for diagnostic use outside a research context.
Why 21+?
Purchasers must be at least 21 years of age. Age is attested at the access gate and again at checkout.
What is tested?
Distributor COA included for the lot shipped. Sizes with a posted report link to the COA PDF on the product page.
When does it ship?
An order ships only after the COA for that product is posted. Pending lots may be invoiced with acknowledgment that fulfillment waits until the COA is posted.
How do I look up a COA?
Use the COA Lookup page. Enter the report code or batch number printed on the COA (e.g. IP10 or BC1026060201). Each result shows the report details and a link to the original PDF. You can also browse every posted COA there without a code.
Manufacturer certificate vs distributor COA?
A manufacturer's in-house certificate is not a substitute for the distributor COA. Distributor COA included for the lot shipped. Orders ship only after that COA is posted.
Why does the PDF say LP Peptide?
Because that is the client name on the supplier-commissioned assay. The reports were produced by the testing laboratory for the distributing laboratory, and we do not alter the reports.
Are these FDA approved?
No. These materials are not FDA-approved drugs, supplements, or compounded medications. These materials have not been evaluated by the FDA. They are sold solely for laboratory research.
How do I pay?
We currently accept USDC on the Polygon network. At checkout you'll get an invoice with the exact amount and our wallet address. Send that exact amount on Polygon; other networks and tokens can't be recovered. We ship only after the payment is confirmed on-chain, and on-chain payments are final. Bank transfer (ACH) will be added once our business account is open. Research materials are final sale once your order is confirmed, except a wrong lot or an item that arrives damaged, which you must report within 48 hours of delivery. All products are for research use only and are not for human or veterinary consumption.
Shipping
Shipping is a flat $15 per order, and free on orders of $250 or more (subtotal after any discount). We currently ship only within the US. An order ships only after the COA for that product is posted and the payment is confirmed on-chain. Shipping details are confirmed by email.
Returns
Research materials are final sale once your order is confirmed. Exceptions: if we ship the wrong lot or an item arrives damaged, report it to support@bluesteel-labs.com within 48 hours of delivery and we will replace or refund it. On-chain payments are final.
Are usage instructions provided?
No usage, preparation, or administration instructions are provided. Human or veterinary use is outside the conditions of sale, and human-use questions are refused. Compounds are RUO / in-vitro only.
