What is Etched Research?
Etched Research is a United States-based reseller of third-party-tested, research-use-only peptides. Every product is tested by an independent laboratory, Janoshik Analytical, and ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis. Etched Research LLC is a Wyoming company based in Sheridan, Wyoming, and sells all compounds strictly as materials for laboratory and research use.
Are Etched products third-party tested, and who tests them?
Yes. Every Etched product is tested by Janoshik Analytical, an independent third-party laboratory. Janoshik confirms compound identity by mass spectrometry and measures purity by HPLC. Etched does not use vague "third-party tested" language without naming the lab.
How do I verify a Certificate of Analysis or check my batch?
You can look up the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis for any lot at etchedresearch.com/coa, with no login required. Find the lot number printed on your vial and confirm it matches the lot number on the certificate. If the numbers match, the certificate belongs to the product in your hands.
What purity standard does Etched hold?
Etched verifies every product at greater than or equal to 99% purity by HPLC. The exact measured purity for your lot is printed on that lot's Certificate of Analysis, next to a mass-spectrometry identity confirmation. The stated standard is a number you can check against the certificate, not a mood word.
Where does Etched ship?
Etched ships within the United States only. There is no international shipping. Orders are fulfilled domestically from within the USA.
How are orders packaged?
Orders ship in plain, unmarked packaging with no indication of the contents on the outside. Etched ships from within the United States.
What payment methods does Etched accept?
Payment options are shown at checkout. Available methods can change over time, so the checkout page always reflects the current options.
What does "Research Use Only" mean?
Research Use Only (RUO) means a product is sold only as a material for laboratory and research use. RUO compounds are not drugs, are not approved by the FDA for human consumption, and are not sold or intended for personal use. Etched supplies all compounds strictly on this basis.
Are research peptides legal to buy?
Research-use-only compounds are sold for laboratory and research purposes in the United States. They are not approved by the FDA for human consumption and may not be marketed for that use. Etched sells all compounds strictly as research materials, not for personal use.
How should research compounds be stored?
Storage guidance here is for laboratory handling of research materials, not for human use. Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides are generally kept frozen, with common laboratory references storing them near minus 20 degrees Celsius. Once reconstituted into solution, laboratory handling references keep material refrigerated at about 2 to 8 degrees Celsius and use it within a limited window. Always follow the handling reference for the specific compound.
What is bacteriostatic water used for?
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water with a small amount of benzyl alcohol added, used in laboratory settings to reconstitute lyophilized (freeze-dried) research peptides into solution. Etched does not sell bacteriostatic water as a product. It is described here only to explain the reconstitution step in a research context.
How do I read a Certificate of Analysis?
A Certificate of Analysis lists the compound name, the lot or batch number, the testing lab, the test methods, the measured purity, and the test date. To read one, confirm the lab is named (Janoshik Analytical), confirm the lot number matches your vial, then read the HPLC purity result and the mass-spectrometry identity confirmation. Etched publishes a batch-specific COA for every lot.
Does Etched sell Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?
No. Etched does not sell Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. The catalog focuses on other research compounds across its research categories.
What compounds does Etched carry?
