Can you order research chemicals online?

Yes — you can order non-regulated research chemicals, lab supplies, and equipment online from this site. It is legal to purchase non-regulated substances and scientific supplies to support legitimate laboratory research and testing.

For practical reasons many researchers purchase pharmacology supplies online because they are not available locally. Note: not all designer compounds can be purchased or imported legally. Several substances are controlled in many jurisdictions. Do not attempt to order or import chemicals that are classified as stimulants, cannabinoids, sedatives, opioids, benzodiazepines, or any other controlled substances where you live or work.

Research chemicals — purpose and safe use

Research chemicals (RCs) are used by chemists and laboratory professionals to conduct scientific studies, calibrate equipment, and expand understanding of chemical properties. These substances are often found as powders or crystals and may have hazardous properties: some are toxic, others are psychoactive even at low doses. Prioritize safety, proper training, and appropriate laboratory protocols when handling RCs.

• Intended use: RCs are for scientific research and laboratory testing only.
• Not for consumption: They are not pharmaceuticals, veterinary medicines, or intended for human use.
• Legal compliance: Comply with all local, national, and international laws and regulations before purchasing, importing, or using any chemical.
• Safety: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow institutional safety procedures.
