RUO peptide FAQ
What does RUO mean for peptides?
RUO stands for "research use only". An RUO peptide is sold as a laboratory reagent for in-vitro and other laboratory research. It is not a drug, food, supplement or cosmetic, and it is not for human or veterinary use.
Are RUO peptides FDA approved?
No. RUO labeling means the material has not been evaluated or approved by the FDA for any diagnostic or therapeutic use. Approved medicines are a separate category with their own manufacturing and labeling rules.
Who can buy RUO peptides from Sealed Peptides?

What information comes with an RUO peptide listing?
Each product page lists the compound, sizes, stated purity (at least 99% as specified), molecular weight where available, form (lyophilized powder) and storage notes.
