Sourcing Exosomes in Nevada
Licensed Nevada practices order Kimera exosome material from ExaVeyra as research-grade product, shipped cold-chain from Miami Beach with a Certificate of Analysis and lot traceability on every vial. Nevada buyers need their own professional license and NPI; the wholesale license is the supplier’s obligation, not the purchaser’s.
Nevada deserves a closer read than most states. Its statute reaches biological products rather than only cells and tissues, which has led to a good deal of loose commentary about what is permitted here. The detail that matters is where that statute draws its boundaries. (Tennessee goes further still and names exosomes outright, which no other state does.)

Ordering from Nevada
ExaVeyra ships to licensed practices in all 50 states, Nevada included. Distribution-side licensing is handled by us, so your practice orders against its own professional license and NPI. What varies state to state is not whether product can reach you, but the indications it may be used for under federal law and how Nevada regulates who performs the procedure.
What your practice provides
- An active Nevada professional license in good standing, verifiable through the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners or the Nevada State Board of Nursing.
- A valid NPI, which ExaVeyra verifies at account setup.
- A signed research-use acknowledgment on file for exosome material.
- A Nevada resale certificate if the practice is purchasing for resale rather than for use in its own operations.
How the state permits wholesale distribution
Nevada licenses wholesale distribution through the State Board of Pharmacy. NRS 639.233 reaches any person engaging in wholesale distribution, or furnishing controlled substances, poisons, drugs, devices, or appliances that federal law restricts to sale on a physician’s order, to anyone located in the state. A distributor counts as furnishing if it solicits or accepts orders, or receives, stores, or ships those items. Devices are inside the definition, as in California, New York, and Arizona. The license sits with the distributor, not with the purchasing practice.

Nevada regenerative-medicine law
Nevada enacted AB 188, codified at NRS 630.3735 (physicians); NRS 633.6945 (osteopathic physicians), effective 1 October 2023.
Physicians licensed under chapter 630 and osteopathic physicians licensed under chapter 633. The statute sets consent-form and patient-information requirements, obliges the physician to notify the board of a patient death or hospitalization, requires a biennial report to the Legislature, and provides that acting within its terms is not itself grounds for discipline. Manufacturers supplying under it maintain a hotline for patients who develop adverse effects. Both sections are written to expire on 30 June 2027 unless the Legislature extends them.
- Individualized investigational treatments produced for one patient
- Investigational products for life-threatening or severely debilitating conditions
- Physician consent and reporting duties
- Sunsets 30 June 2027 unless extended
“a drug, biological product or device that is unique to and produced exclusively for use by an individual patient based on the genetic profile of the patient”
How this applies to exosomes
Nevada is often described as having legalised unapproved biologics, so it is worth being precise. Assembly Bill 188 does reach biological products, which is broader than the cells-and-tissues framing used in Florida, Texas, and California. Its gates are narrow, though. The statute addresses an individualized investigational treatment, which it defines as a drug, biological product, or device unique to and produced exclusively for one patient based on that patient’s genetic profile, and it otherwise operates on a right-to-try footing for life-threatening or severely debilitating conditions. A Kimera preparation is allogeneic and made to a lot rather than to a patient’s genome, and topical aesthetic use is not a life-threatening condition, so neither gate is engaged. Exosome products remain governed by federal law, under which no exosome product has been approved by the FDA for administration to humans. ExaVeyra supplies Kimera material for topical aesthetic use in clinics and for research applications, with full COA and lot documentation.
Who can handle product in a Nevada practice
A designated medical director and a documented examination before treatment are the two things Nevada practices are most consistently expected to have in place. Because the availability standard for a delegating physician is set by board interpretation rather than by a single statutory sentence, it is worth confirming directly with the Board of Medical Examiners rather than relying on secondary summaries.
| Role | Scope under state law |
|---|---|
| MD / DO | Physicians licensed under chapter 630, and osteopathic physicians under chapter 633, may perform medical acts within their scope and are the source of any delegation. Chapter 630 also treats practising experimental medicine without patient consent as a ground for discipline, which is worth reading alongside the AB 188 consent requirements. |
| NP / APRN | Advanced practice registered nurses practice within the scope the Nevada State Board of Nursing establishes. Ownership of a practice delivering medical services is a separate question from clinical scope, and is governed by the corporate practice rules rather than by the Nurse Practice Act. |
| PA | Physician assistants practice under physician supervision within the delegated scope. |
| RN | Registered nurses may perform delegated treatments within their scope and under physician delegation. Nevada expects the delegating physician to remain readily available to the treatment site rather than merely on record, so confirm the current availability standard with the Board of Medical Examiners before setting protocols. |
Good faith examination
Nevada expects an examination establishing the practitioner-patient relationship before treatment is delivered, with a designated medical director available to the practice. Where a treatment falls under the AB 188 framework, the statute layers its own written consent form and patient information requirements on top of that.
Ownership and clinic licensing
Nevada recognises the corporate practice of medicine doctrine and the State Board of Medical Examiners is an active enforcer of it, while management services arrangements between a non-physician entity and a clinical practice are widely used. The practical effect is a middle position: less codified than Texas or New York, but not the open field Arizona’s case-law-only posture suggests. Confirm your structure with Nevada counsel before opening.

Nevada sourcing questions
- Did Nevada legalise unapproved biologics?
- Not in the broad sense that phrase suggests. Assembly Bill 188 (2023) added NRS 630.3735 and NRS 633.6945, which authorise a physician to prescribe or recommend an individualized investigational treatment, defined as a drug, biological product, or device unique to and produced exclusively for one patient based on that patient’s genetic profile, and which otherwise operate on a right-to-try footing for life-threatening or severely debilitating conditions. Both sections are written to expire on 30 June 2027 unless extended.
- Does AB 188 cover exosome products?
- It does not reach an off-the-shelf preparation. The statute’s definition turns on a product made exclusively for one patient from that patient’s genetic profile, and its alternative pathway addresses life-threatening or severely debilitating conditions. A Kimera preparation is allogeneic and manufactured to a lot rather than to an individual genome, and topical aesthetic use is not a qualifying condition. Exosome products remain governed by federal law, and no exosome product is FDA-approved for administration to humans.
- Does my Nevada clinic need a wholesaler license to buy exosomes?
- No. The wholesaler license under NRS 639.233 is held by the distributor furnishing product into Nevada, not by the practice buying. Your practice orders against its own professional license and NPI. ExaVeyra handles distribution-side licensing.
- Does Nevada enforce the corporate practice of medicine?
- Yes, and the State Board of Medical Examiners is an active enforcer, while management services arrangements between a non-physician entity and a clinical practice are widely used. Nevada sits between the codified regimes in Texas and New York and Arizona’s case-law-only posture. Confirm your structure with Nevada counsel.
- What does Nevada expect before a treatment is delivered?
- An examination establishing the practitioner-patient relationship, a designated medical director available to the practice, and a delegating physician who remains readily available to the treatment site. Because the availability standard comes from board interpretation rather than a single statutory sentence, confirm it directly with the Board of Medical Examiners.
- How long does cold-chain shipping take to Nevada?
- Overnight from our Miami Beach facility once prepared, with preparation taking one to two business days. All exosome shipments travel cold-chain with validated temperature monitoring, and deliveries are scheduled to avoid a weekend hold at the carrier hub.
