Unless expressly stated otherwise, products offered by Kinetus BioLabs are sold strictly for legitimate scientific research and laboratory use only.
Products are not intended for human consumption, human administration, veterinary use, animal consumption, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or cure of any disease or medical condition.
Products offered through this website are not represented as approved drugs, medicines, medical devices, dietary supplements, or therapeutic products unless expressly identified as such and legally authorized for that purpose.
Kinetus BioLabs does not provide medical advice, treatment recommendations, dosing instructions, or instructions for administering research products to humans or animals.

Important: A "Research Use Only" designation does not itself determine the legal classification or regulatory status of a product. Customers are responsible for complying with applicable laws, and Kinetus BioLabs reserves the right not to supply any product where sale or distribution may be prohibited.
3. PRODUCT INFORMATION
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, specifications, photographs, availability, pricing, packaging, and other information displayed on the website are accurate.
