The Indole Shop is a corporate entity that specializes in the retailing and distribution of chemical compounds. We are a reseller and wholesaler of chemical compounds, i.e. research chemicals, which are sold to private researchers, academics and businesses. The products sold on our website are a chemically pure sample of a substance, the composition of which comprises of a single molecule, or a molecular compound (i.e. an ionic solid). Each and every individual product listed in stock is a pure sample of a single chemical, a substance with a defined molecular structure and atomic formula.

The compounds sold on our website are strictly for analytical or forensic laboratory research, and will only be subject to research in safe and proper facilities, and no exception to this term will be permitted. Under no circumstances, our compounds will be considered for human or animal consumption, and no sort of in-vivo testing will occur. In-vitro, laboratory, forensic research, as well as commercial applications in the chemical manufacturing industry, are acceptable. Examples of legally allowed usage of these chemicals include:

  • Reagent kit testing (e.g. Mandelin, Mecke, Ehrlich and Marquis reagents) – color change helps identify the composition of a chemical substance
  • TLC plates (e.g. thin-layer chromatography) – paper chromatography which can be used to analyze the purity of a chemical substance
  • Chemical manufacturing – intermediates and building blocks in organic chemistry
