What a purity percentage actually measures
A purity figure is the proportion of the main peak in a chromatogram under a stated method. Without the method, the number means little — which is why our certificates print the column, gradient and detection wavelength alongside the result.
A site-wide claim of high purity describes a marketing position. A batch number that resolves to a dated report for the vial in your hand describes evidence. We structure the catalog around the second.
Chromatographic purity says how much of one thing is present; mass spectrometry says whether that thing is what the label claims. Running both is the minimum for material entering stock.
Lyophilised material is robust in transit but benefits from short shipping windows. Holding stock domestically keeps parcels inside a one-to-three day window instead of a multi-week import route.
