About Chain & Assay
Plain, referenced explainers on research peptides: compound identity, published laboratory and animal-model research, quality control and lab handling.
Who publishes this site
Chain & Assay is published by EuroPeps, a European supplier of research peptides. We have a commercial interest in the subjects we write about, and we say so on every page.
- Legal name: EuroPeps EOOD („Европепс“ ЕООД)
- Registered address: 6 Polkovnik Drangov Str., Floor 1, 2850 Petrich, Bulgaria
- Website: europeps.eu
Some articles contain up to two links to the EuroPeps website where they are directly relevant, for example to a library of analytical certificates. These links carry referral tags so we can see that a visit came from this site. We do not publish prices, offers or product promotions here.
Editorial standards
- We write about laboratory, in-vitro and animal-model research only. Findings from animal or cell studies are reported as findings in that model, and the model is named.
- Where studies in people exist, we may say that they exist, cite them and describe how they were designed. We do not present their outcomes as benefits or effects of a compound.
- Every article cites at least three published sources with a DOI or PubMed ID, listed in its References section. Specific numbers and findings must be traceable to those sources or to standard textbook knowledge.
- We do not publish dosing information, usage instructions, preparation guides, testimonials or prices.
- Each article shows the date it was last reviewed.
Research use only
The peptides discussed on this site are research materials. They arefor research purposes only, not for human consumptionand not intended for use in humans or animals. They are not drugs, foods, cosmetics, dietary supplements or medical devices, and have not been approved or authorised for any therapeutic, diagnostic or clinical use by any regulatory authority.
Research materials should be handled, stored and disposed of under a laboratory’s safety procedures, by qualified personnel, using appropriate protective equipment. Nothing on this site is medical advice, and nothing here should be read as a recommendation to use any compound outside a research setting.
How we write
Articles are drafted with AI assistance. An article is published only after it passes a set of automated checks:
- Claims rules: an automated scan blocks dosing, human-use, benefit and marketing language, prices, and more than two links to the shop, and flags ambiguous wording for review.
- Citation verification: every reference is looked up in Crossref or PubMed, and its title and year must match the published record.
