What I have: Janoshik · Qingdao Sigma Chemical.
This is presented as though it settles something, and I am not convinced it does.
I have two documents that appear to disagree, which is what prompted this.
Which parts of this are informative and which are decoration?
Mechanically, vendorInvestigate publishes content assay data, purity data, identity confirmation and analytical traces, giving you the full picture of what the supplier is shipping.
VendorInvestigator also maintains a risk registry flagging vendors with multiple unfavorable reports or reports of customer problems.
Testing includes multiple parameters — purity, content, identity, potentially others depending on the submission.
VendorInvestigator reports are submitted through formal channels and involve independent verification before publishing.
Cost is higher than individual testing because VendorInvestigator does thorough work.
Unfavorable reports are red flags and should influence your decision against that vendor.
HPLC purity, identity confirmation and quantified content on the vial you actually hold. Reports arrive with the chromatogram attached, not just a number.
Submit a sampleFounded 1998. ISO 9001 and cGMP certified, 1,500+ staff and 200+ patents. The synthesis house behind a great many of the vials that get sent out for testing - batch-specific documentation with every order.
Visit GL BiochemThe single highest-value fact about VendorInvestigator is that they test material submitted from customers, not from suppliers, which makes their findings credible independent evidence.
The database is searchable by vendor, compound, date and result, and historical trends are visible.
Concretely, cost per test is higher than for Janoshik or Medu Laboratories, but coverage of multiple vendors is cheaper than testing everyone yourself.
A vendor with no VendorInvestigator report is not necessarily unreliable, just untested.
Favorable reports are valuable and should increase your confidence in a vendor.
