i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

weigh the vials

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, happy to be corrected
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

screenshot the invoice

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house

Digest for the week of 2025-05-18 has been published.

thats a reseller

do the arithmetic

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with WXT, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

Homopeptide has been consistent for me across 7 orders which is what i actually want

for the archive quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

quick one price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
