What is this product for?
This compound is intended strictly for in-vitro research use only. It is not for human or animal consumption, cosmetic use, or diagnostic purposes.
Are your products tested?
Yes. Every batch is third-party tested by a licensed U.S. laboratory for identity, purity, net content, and the absence of endotoxins. Only batches meeting strict specifications are released for research use.
What are endotoxins, and why test for them?
Endotoxins are bacterial fragments that can interfere with research outcomes, even at extremely low concentrations. OROS is one of the few U.S.-based suppliers that tests every batch for endotoxins to ensure consistency and reliability in your research.
Where can I find the Certificate of Analysis (COA)?
COA reports are available on each product page within the product image gallery.
All current and previous batch information—including lot numbers, manufacturing dates, expiration dates, and testing—can be found on our Lab Results Page.
Is this product made in the USA?
Yes. All compounds are formulated and lyophilized in California at a qualified third-party manufacturing facility operating under controlled processes aligned with cGMP principles. Raw materials are sourced from both domestic and international suppliers that adhere to established quality standards, including GMP-aligned systems and ISO-based frameworks. All analytical testing is conducted in the United States by independent, licensed laboratories.
Why do you not source your raw materials exclusively from the USA?
The majority of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used worldwide, including those used by U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturers and compounding facilities, are produced overseas. Our manufacturing partner sources domestically when possible; however, it is not feasible to source 100% of raw materials exclusively from the United States. This is standard practice across both the research peptide sector and the pharmaceutical industry.
What matters most is that all formulation, lyophilization, and third-party testing occur entirely in the United States, ensuring strict quality control and batch-level verification.
How is it shipped?
All orders are shipped from our North Carolina warehouse via UPS, with your choice of
Ground, 2-Day, or Express services.
Orders over $150 receive free UPS 2-Day shipping.
Every order includes full shipment insurance at no additional cost.
Do you ship with cold packs or temperature control?
No. We do not ship our products with cold packs or via cold-chain carrier services.
Lyophilized (freeze-dried) compounds are specifically manufactured to remain stable without refrigeration during standard shipping conditions.
Short-term exposure to elevated temperatures—such as what may occur during transit or final-mile delivery—does not compromise the integrity of the material, even if the vial feels warm upon arrival.
Degradation risk is associated with sustained exposure to high heat and humidity over extended periods, not brief temperature fluctuations during normal shipping windows or short periods after delivery.
Where do you ship?
We currently ship to U.S. addresses only. We do not ship to PO Boxes, international destinations, military bases, or U.S. territories.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major debit and credit cards, including American Express. HSAs and FSAs are not accepted.
After checkout, you must complete our secure Payment Authorization Form. Orders are not processed or shipped until authorization is completed. This workflow ensures PCI compliance and protects your payment data.
Do you accept returns?
All sales are final. If an issue occurs with your order, please contact support@orosresearch.com within 7 days of delivery.
How should this product be stored?
Before reconstitution, store lyophilized peptides in a cool, dry environment away from light. Once reconstituted, research compounds should be refrigerated for optimal stability.
