Policy

Lyochem is for qualified research buyers only.

Lyochem specialises in sequence-verified, lot-data-documented research peptides — a class of material where reproducibility, analytical traceability, and Research-Use-Only (RUO) handling are the entire value proposition. Our catalogue, sample-data- packet programme, and inquiry workflows are reserved for the following research-side B2B audiences:

• Academic laboratories at universities, medical schools, and government research institutions
• Biotech R&D groups running preclinical discovery, screening, or method-development programmes
• Contract research organisations (CROs) running studies on behalf of academic, biotech, or pharma sponsors
• Pharmaceutical R&D departments using research- grade peptides as reference standards, analytical comparators, or early-stage discovery tools

Who we do not serve

Lyochem does not sell to individuals, compounding pharmacies, 503A / 503B facilities, medical aesthetic clinics, med-spas, gyms, finished-cosmetic manufacturers, online resellers, or any buyer who cannot present an active research-institution registration when requested. Lyochem peptides are sold for Research Use Only; they are not finished drugs, not finished cosmetics, and not for human consumption.

How qualification works

1. Inquiries flag the buyer's research-institution function on submission (Academic Lab / Biotech R&D / CRO / Pharmaceutical R&D / Other research institution).
2. The atelier reviews each inquiry against the buyer's public institution registration (university directory, biotech registry, CRO listing) before first quotation.
3. Every inquiry form additionally requires explicit acknowledgement that the peptides are supplied for Research Use Only — not for human consumption, not for in-vitro diagnostic use, not for compounding into finished drug or cosmetic products.
4. For first-time commercial relationships, Lyochem may request additional supplier-qualification documentation (PI letterhead, IACUC / IRB context, or institutional purchase-order routing) at our discretion before shipment.
5. Buyers that cannot be verified are removed from the sample programme without further response.

Why we are particular

Research-grade peptide procurement is upstream of published science — the buyer in a lab today is the author of the paper tomorrow, the supplementary materials file the reviewer will scan, and the SOP the next graduate student will inherit. Selling without the analytical packet that publication-grade work needs dilutes the discipline the discipline relies on. Brands that need compounding-grade peptide actives, finished cosmetic peptide ingredients, or finished mesotherapy lots are better served by the rest of the matrix; Lyochem stays in its lane.
