Research Ethics and Peptide Use Compliance

Important Disclaimer

BioInfinity Lab peptides are sold strictly for in-vitro research and laboratory use. They are not intended for human or veterinary use. Researchers are responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations in their jurisdiction.

Peptide research operates within a complex regulatory framework. Understanding your obligations helps ensure your research is conducted ethically and legally.

Research Peptide Classifications

Research peptides exist in a specific regulatory category:

Not FDA approved: Research peptides are not approved drugs and cannot be marketed for medical use

Not dietary supplements: Peptides don't fall under DSHEA regulations

Research chemicals: Sold for laboratory and in-vitro research purposes

Institutional Requirements

Institutional Review Board (IRB)

Any research involving human subjects requires IRB approval. This includes clinical trials, observational studies, and even some survey research. IRB review ensures participant safety and informed consent.

Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)

Animal research requires IACUC approval. Protocols must demonstrate scientific justification, appropriate housing, pain management, and humane endpoints.

Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC)

Some peptide research may require IBC review, particularly if involving recombinant DNA, biological agents, or select agents.

Documentation Best Practices

Maintain purchase records: Keep invoices and COAs for all research materials
Document protocols: Written procedures for handling, storage, and use
Track inventory: Know what you have, where it's stored, and when it expires
Lab notebooks: Detailed records of all experiments and observations

Responsible Research Conduct

Publication Considerations

When publishing peptide research:

Disclose peptide sources and purity
Include relevant approval numbers (IRB, IACUC)
Declare any conflicts of interest
Follow journal-specific requirements
