Frequently Asked Questions
Who is European Research Chemicals?
We are a premier European supplier of high-purity laboratory reference materials and research chemicals. We partner exclusively with ISO-certified manufacturers and academic institutions to provide benchmarked analytical standards across the EU.
Are your products certified for quality and purity?
Yes. Every batch undergoes rigorous dual-stage testing—including High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy—to ensure an average purity exceeding 99.7%.
Where are your operations located?
Our primary administrative and climate-controlled storage facilities are situated within the European Union, enabling duty-free, border-frictionless express dispatch to all 27+ EU member states.
Are these chemicals for human consumption?
No. All substances are strictly for laboratory research, forensic analysis, and chemical synthesis only. They are not for human or animal use.
Do I need to submit verification before ordering?
No, most products do not require a license for small-scale analytical research,
What happens if a batch does not meet your 99.7%+ purity threshold?
Any batch that fails our initial analytical screening or shows unverified impurities during NMR spectroscopy is immediately rejected and quarantined. Only fully verified lots proceed to vacuum sealing and inventory.
How are the compounds stored to prevent degradation?
All stock is maintained in our climate-controlled, temperature-monitored vacuum storage units to protect sensitive compounds against light, humidity, thermal drift, and atmospheric oxidation.
What type of packaging do you use for shipping?
We utilize discreet, durable, and chemically inert packaging. Orders are securely sealed with tamper-evident indicators and temperature-stabilized inserts where required to preserve compound integrity during transit.
What are the typical delivery timelines within Europe?
Because all inventory is stored within the EU, shipments do not undergo customs clearance between member states. Standard express courier delivery typically takes 1 to 3 business day
