Research chemicals, also known as experimental chemicals or designer drugs, are substances that are primarily used in scientific research and experimental studies. These chemicals are often synthesized in laboratories and are not intended for human consumption. Research chemicals are typically used by scientists, researchers, and academic institutions to explore the properties, effects, and potential applications of various chemical compounds. They can be used in fields such as pharmacology, neuroscience, chemistry, and biochemistry to investigate new drug candidates, study molecular interactions, and understand biological processes.
