How a batch is released
A purity figure on a label is worth checking against something. Below is the sequence every batch goes through before it ships, and where the code on your vial fits into it.
- 01
Batch arrives and is quarantined
Nothing is labelled or released before testing. A batch that fails gets no batch number, and without a batch number no codes can be issued against it.
- 02
Identity and purity are tested
Two checks per batch: identity, that the vial holds the peptide named on the label, and purity, reported as a percentage. Both results go into the batch record.
- 03
The batch record is written
Substance, dose, manufacturing month, shelf life, purity, number of vials. The code lookup returns this record as written; there is no second version for the website.
- 04
Codes are issued and printed
One code per vial, from an alphabet without O and I so nothing gets misread. Each code is generated once, belongs to one vial and is never reissued.
- 05
The vial goes out without a box
The vial label carries the substance, the dose, the batch and the code. The carton adds nothing to that, and without it the parcel is flatter and less obvious.
Substance, dose, batch and code, all on the vial label.
Codes rather than seals
Seals and holograms get copied once they are worth copying. A per-vial code is harder to reuse: copy one onto a run of vials and the second buyer to enter it is told it has been checked before.
Limits of what a test shows
A purity figure describes the contents of the vial at the time of testing. It says nothing about effects. Our products are supplied for laboratory research, are not medicines, carry no marketing authorisation, and nothing on this site is medical advice.
