Laboratory use only.

What the substances are intended for

All substances supplied by Helvion are intended exclusively for research, analysis and quality control in laboratories equipped for that purpose. They are supplied to institutions that have the professional competence, the equipment and the organisational arrangements required for handling laboratory chemicals.

What they are expressly not intended for

• Not for administration to humans. The substances are not medicinal products. They have been tested neither for sterility nor for tolerability, are not subject to any marketing authorisation under medicines law, and must under no circumstances be ingested, injected or otherwise administered to humans.
• Not for administration to animals — neither as a veterinary medicinal product nor as a feed additive.
• Not a food, not a food supplement, not a cosmetic product.
• No resale to private individuals. Onward supply is permitted only to other institutions that meet the same requirements.

Why we carry out checks

Substances of this kind are sold on grey markets, labelled “for research purposes only”, to private individuals who then administer them to themselves. This leads to dosing errors, non-sterile solutions and damage to health. A label alone does not prevent this — checking the purchaser does. That is why we verify the institution, the VAT number and the delivery address before an account is approved, and why we deliver exclusively to verified institutional addresses.

Consequences of incorrect information

Incorrect information in the account approval application leads to the account being blocked and open orders being cancelled. We reserve the right to make enquiries, to carry out checks of the evidence provided and to refuse individual orders without stating reasons.

Obligations of the purchaser

• Compliance with the safety data sheet, in particular regarding storage, protective equipment and disposal
• Storage such that unauthorised persons have no access
• Disposal in accordance with the institution’s waste regulations and local provisions
• Compliance with medicines law (Arzneimittelgesetz), chemicals law (Chemikaliengesetz) and export control provisions in the event of onward supply
