Research peptides are legal to purchase, possess, and use in the UK for legitimate scientific research purposes. They are sold as research chemicals and are not approved for, or intended for, human use in any context.

Futura Biolabs supplies all compounds strictly for in vitro research. We encourage all customers to familiarise themselves with current UK legislation before purchasing.

Orders placed before 2pm on UK working days are typically dispatched the same day. We ship via:

• Royal Mail Tracked 24 — estimated next working day

All orders ship in discreet, unmarked packaging with no indication of contents on the outside. A tracking number is provided with every dispatch confirmation.

A Certificate of Analysis is a document issued by an accredited analytical laboratory confirming the identity, purity, and batch details of a specific compound.

Every product on our site carries a real, batch-specific CoA — not a generic template. You will find the CoA download link on each individual product page. If you have any queries about a specific document, contact us directly.
