Age & Researcher Verification
Last updated · Effective 2026
Access to this site and the placement of any order requires affirmative confirmation that you are 18 years of age or older and a qualified researcher acquiring reference materials for legitimate in vitro laboratory research.
Both acknowledgments — research-use-only / qualified researcher, and age & jurisdiction — are required at the age gate and again at checkout. No order can be completed without them.
Minimum age requirement
All visitors must confirm they are at least 18 years old before entering the site. An age and research-use acknowledgment gate is presented on first visit, and both acknowledgments are required again at checkout. Orders cannot be completed without them.
Qualified researcher standard
Ascend Prive LLC sells exclusively to qualified researchers and laboratory professionals. By entering and ordering, you represent that you are acquiring these materials for legitimate in vitro scientific research and not for any human or veterinary use.
Research-use-only acknowledgment
All products sold by Ascend Prive LLC are strictly for in vitro research and laboratory use only. They are NOT intended for, and must NOT be used for, human consumption, veterinary use, or any therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical purpose whatsoever. None of the products sold by Ascend Prive LLC have been evaluated or approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for safety or efficacy in humans or animals.
Verification at checkout
Every order requires the buyer to affirmatively check the research-use-only/qualified-researcher box and the age & jurisdiction box. No order is completeable without both. We reserve the right to request additional verification of researcher status and to refuse or cancel any order at our discretion.
Misrepresentation
Providing false information regarding age or researcher status is a material breach of our Terms of Service and Research Use Only Disclaimer and voids all warranties and rights to the materials supplied.
