Candor is a policy, not a name.
The word candor comes from the Latin for radiant whiteness. It later came to mean total honesty. We chose it because both meanings are the company. This industry has a habit of operating in the dark: unverifiable claims, unpublished testing, and compounds that are not what the label says. We built Candor Sciences to be the opposite of that in every detail.
Every compound we release is manufactured to a minimum of 99.0% purity and verified by independent RP-HPLC analysis. Every lot receives a certificate of analysis, and every certificate is published where anyone can look it up by lot number. If a lot does not meet the standard, it does not ship. There is no second tier, no unverified batch, and no fine print.
Everything we sell is for in-vitro laboratory research use only. Nothing we sell is for human or veterinary use, and we design every part of this company, from our order process to our labeling, to keep that boundary explicit.
Purity, in full light.
Asked and answered.
What does research use only (RUO) mean at Candor Sciences?
Research use only means every compound Candor Sciences sells is intended solely for in-vitro laboratory research. Nothing we sell is for human or veterinary use, and every customer certifies this before purchase.
How does Candor Sciences verify peptide purity?
Every lot is analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC with UV detection and identity-confirmed by mass spectrometry at an independent laboratory. Compounds must meet a minimum of 99.0% purity before they are released, and lots that fall short do not ship.
What is a certificate of analysis, and how do I verify mine?
A certificate of analysis (COA) is the laboratory report for a specific production lot, listing purity, identity, endotoxin, and appearance results. Candor Sciences publishes every COA. Enter the lot number printed on your vial on our Verify page to view the certificate for your exact lot.
How are Candor Sciences peptides supplied and stored?
Peptides are supplied as white lyophilized powder in sealed vials, shipped in cold-chain packaging, and are best stored at -20 °C protected from light.
