Custom synthesis quote came back with a realistic timeline and they beat it. Purity on delivery matched the signed spec.
GL Biochem — GL Biochem (Shanghai) Ltd.
Shanghai, CN · established 1998. The index holds 126 assay reports across 23 batches and 14 compounds, contributed by 6 laboratories. Every figure below is computed from those records and from nothing else.
Where GL Biochem sells
GL Biochem (Shanghai) Ltd. sells from its own storefront. The link is marked nofollow and sponsored: it exists so the figures on this scorecard can be read against what the supplier itself publishes. The index is paid nothing for it and a link is not an assessment.

Every figure above describes lots the index has seen. It says nothing about the lot you are offered, and the only check that does is the one on the certificate against the vial.

Identification
Business facts, held constant across the index and not derived from the data. The index sells nothing and takes no supplier payment for placement; the storefront link below is marked nofollow and sponsored so a record can be checked against the seller, and is not a recommendation.

Headline statistics
Each figure carries the n it was computed from. The n= badge next to a statistic is the number of records it was computed from. Below n=8 the badge is amber. Below n=3 the statistic is suppressed and the individual values are shown instead.

Reproducibility across independent tests of one lot
Where the same physical lot was assayed more than once, the spread between those results is a property of the material and the fill, not of the market. It is the rarest and most informative statistic on this page, and it exists only for lots someone tested twice.
Median within-batch spread

n=18
Index median spread
0.95pp
n=20
Lots tested 3+ times

n=23
Across the 18 GL Biochem lots in the index with three or more independent assays, the median spread between the highest and lowest purity result on one lot is 0.97 pp. Interpreting that number requires the laboratory repeatability figures: the best contributing laboratory here repeats to 0.16 pp and the worst to 0.34 pp, so a within-lot spread under about 0.5 pp is indistinguishable from measurement noise and a spread above 1 pp is a statement about the material.
Block 4
Supplier certificate against independent measurement
The supplier's own COA purity figure for a lot, minus the median of the index's independent observations of the same physical lot. Positive means the certificate reads higher than the measurement. Rule AX-R05 fires above 1.5 pp.

Provenance — where the tested material came from
Supplier-supplied samples are weaker evidence than independently purchased ones, because the supplier chose the vial. The index measures the size of that effect rather than assuming it.

Coverage by compound
The delta column is this supplier's median minus the index-wide median for the same compound, which is the only comparison worth making: comparing a supplier's aggregate against another supplier's aggregate compares their product mixes as much as their process control.

Quarterly trend
Submission volume is not market share and a quarterly median is not a trend unless the compound mix held still. Both caveats apply to every row below.
Median purity by quarter
Quarters with fewer than two purity records are gaps in the line rather than zeroes.
Coverage growth
Records added per quarter. Growth here is index coverage, not supplier volume.

Which laboratory produced these numbers
Laboratories disagree with each other by a measured amount. A supplier tested mostly by one laboratory carries that laboratory's offset in its aggregate, and the adjusted column removes it.
| Laboratory | Reports | Median purity | Lab bias (pp) | Bias-adjusted |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Janoshik | 60 | 98.41 | +0.00 | 98.41 |
| PeptideMeter | 27 | 98.54 | -0.05 | 98.59 |
| Medutest | 20 | 98.41 | +0.08 | 98.33 |
| VendorInvestigate | 10 | 98.25 | -0.11 | 98.36 |
| Nordanalyt | 6 | 98.23 | +0.02 | 98.22 |
| Kestrel | 3 | 99.32 | +0.24 | 99.08 |
Bias figures are estimated from paired same-lot comparisons and are published with their confidence intervals on inter-lab agreement.

c.okafor96/100
No customs paperwork, no import wait — it came from their stock in Canada and arrived day 4.
r.yildiz96/100
The certificate for lot GLB-26-224 carried method, wavelength, water content and an itemised related-substances table. Complete on the first pass.
c.zamora96/100
Asked for the chromatogram instead of the summary figure and got the real trace, legible, integration visible. They send it without hesitating.
r.onwuka92/100
Sensible packing, sensible timelines, and a certificate that says what it should. No notes.
d.vogel96/100
Asked them to hold an order until I confirmed a lot number and they did, without fuss and without a restocking charge.
t.kaufmann96/100
Every certificate I have from them is lot-specific. Not one batch-level document in 3 orders.
r.duarte96/100
Queried the related-substances total on lot GLB-26-156; they came back with method, column and detection limit. That depth is rare.
d.lindholm96/100
Same lot documentation as the factory ships, but out of their warehouse in Germany, so it landed on day 3.
h.weiss96/100
Weighed 5 vials from the ipamorelin 5 mg order against label. Every one inside 2% of stated mass. Fill consistency is harder than purity and they have it.
t.sandvik92/100
Shipped from their warehouse in Germany, arrived day 2, documentation complete.
m.danquah96/100
Regional stock makes the difference — dispatched within Germany, day 5, cold pack still hard on arrival.
f.tulloch96/100
Three compounds on one invoice, all three lot-matched to their own certificates, all three inside spec on independent testing.
z.mensa96/100
4 lots logged now, purity 98.1 to 98.4%. A band that tight is worth more to me than one spectacular number.
m.ogunleye96/100
One of the few places that will quote thymosin alpha-1 5 mg at all, and the synthesis came back clean on an independent check.
em.varga96/100
The cagrilintide 5 mg arrived on day 2 with the cold pack intact and the seal unbroken. Straightforward, exactly as described.
no.laurent92/100
Documentation is complete and the numbers are steady. A dependable choice for routine work.
h.kuipers92/100
Domestic dispatch from their stock in the United Kingdom. Straightforward, day 5, exactly as quoted.
d.perrin92/100
Held locally in Australia, so the tirzepatide 10 mg arrived on day 3 without an import step.
s.wikstrom96/100
Reordered on the strength of the last one and got an identical result. Repeatability is the product.
g.varga92/100
Fair pricing for the documentation standard, and delivery landed on day 4 as quoted.
b.stanescu96/100
Asked a genuinely technical question about pre-dispatch storage and got a reply with numbers in it, inside 9 hours.
f.ramos92/100
Everything about the order was routine in the best sense — quoted 4 days, arrived in 3.
an.silva96/100
Vial labels printed rather than handwritten, lot and date legible, cap seal intact on every unit.
l.falk92/100
Steady supplier. Medutest results have agreed with their stated figures on every lot I have submitted.
o.mensa96/100
Identity confirmed by mass spec on the certificate, not just an area-percent figure. Both questions answered on one page.
