Research Compound Glossary

Key terms every researcher should know when sourcing and working with RUO peptides.

COA (Certificate of Analysis)
A document issued by an independent third-party laboratory confirming the identity, purity, potency, and sterility of a specific batch of compound. A batch-specific COA means it was generated for that production run, not a generic document.
HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography)
The gold standard analytical method for quantifying compound purity. A result of ≥99% HPLC means at least 99% of the measured content is the target compound.
Lyophilized Powder
A freeze-drying process that removes water from the compound, resulting in a stable powder form. Lyophilized research compounds do not require cold-chain shipping and have longer shelf life than solutions.
RUO (Research Use Only)
A regulatory designation indicating that a compound is intended strictly for laboratory and in-vitro research applications. RUO compounds are not evaluated or approved by the FDA for human or veterinary use.
Sterility Testing
A microbiological test confirming a compound is free from viable contaminating microorganisms. Critical quality metric for any injectable-grade or high-purity research compound.
Peptide
A short chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Synthetic peptides are manufactured for research into biological signaling pathways including growth factors, metabolic regulation, and tissue repair mechanisms.
GLP-1 Analog
A class of compounds structurally related to glucagon-like peptide-1, a naturally occurring incretin hormone. Studied in research for their activity at GLP-1 receptors in metabolic signaling models.
GHRH / GHRP
Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) and Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide (GHRP) are two distinct peptide classes studied for their interactions with pituitary signaling pathways in laboratory research.
