Institutional buyers can contact the desk regarding bulk lots and lot reservations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you require institutional verification?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An institutional letter is not required for standard catalog orders. However, PrimeOps Compounds reserves the right to request verification for bulk lots. Age confirmation and research-use confirmation are required at checkout for every order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can these products be used on humans, animals, or food products?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. All products are supplied strictly for research use only. They are not intended for human or veterinary use, food, cosmetic, or household applications. The <strong>Research Use Only<\/strong> notice appears on every product page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Certificates &amp; Documentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I find the documentation for my lot?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot\u2019s Certificate of Analysis is posted to the COA Library and matched by lot number, allowing each vial to be linked to its corresponding documentation. When a lot\u2019s COA is still being processed, the listing displays <strong>\u201cCOA pending\u201d<\/strong> until the record is posted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if a lot\u2019s record has not been posted yet?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pending records display <strong>\u201cCOA pending\u201d<\/strong> on the product page rather than a substitute claim. If you need a specific record, contact the desk with the lot number, and PrimeOps Compounds will follow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long are records kept?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lot records are retained. To request a historical record for a discontinued lot, contact the desk with the lot number so it can be located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shipping &amp; Handling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How are vials packaged for transit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lyophilized vials are packed in a foam-lined parcel. A phase-change cold pack is added for temperature-sensitive items, and shipments are routed through a signature-on-delivery courier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which US states are restricted?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PrimeOps Compounds is currently unable to ship to <strong>Idaho, Nevada, or Louisiana<\/strong>. Checkout displays an inline notice when a restricted state is selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you ship internationally?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International orders are evaluated case by case for institutional buyers only and are not available through the open catalog. Contact the desk to discuss international orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Returns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is your return policy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because research materials require chain-of-custody documentation, returns are limited to misshipped lots and vials damaged during transit. Issues must be reported within 72 hours of delivery. See the <strong>Refund and Returns Policy<\/strong> for the complete procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if my package arrives compromised?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photograph the parcel before opening it and email <strong><a href=\"mailto:primeopscompounds@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">primeopscompounds@gmail.com<\/a><\/strong> with your order ID. The returns desk reviews chain-of-custody claims within five business days.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- wp:themify-builder\/canvas \/-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buying for Research Who is permitted to purchase from PrimeOps Compounds?
