Scientific Small Molecules

This category is curated for laboratory researchers sourcing Research Use Only (RUO) materials with clear documentation and consistent analytical profiles. Rather than acting as a generic “filter,” this page is designed as a research-facing landing page that explains what compounds in Small Molecules are typically studied for, how purity is evaluated, and what to look for when comparing suppliers.

Compounds in the Small Molecules category are typically sourced for analytical work, controlled experimental workflows, and comparative studies where documentation and traceability matter. When selecting RUO materials, researchers often prioritize consistent chromatography profiles, identity confirmation, and clear storage guidance.

Purity & testing: purity is commonly reported as an HPLC area percentage, while identity confirmation may include Mass Spectrometry (MS). A strong COA indicates not only a purity number, but also the test method context and batch traceability. Learn more about our documentation approach on Quality Standards.

Handling expectations: RUO materials should be stored and handled using standard lab best practices: protect from light and moisture, store at appropriate temperatures (often -20°C for lyophilized material), and minimize freeze–thaw cycles after reconstitution. These controls help reduce variability and improve experimental repeatability across runs.
