What arrives
What arrives
01
Sealed vial
A sealed 3ml vial, one compound per vial, at the presentation named on the compound’s page.
02
Plain outer packaging
The outer packaging is plain and carries no compound name. The inner packaging carries the compound name, the presentation, the batch number and the research-use-only marking.
03
A batch number that resolves
The batch number on the vial is the same number on the dispatch note and in your order record. Once the batch is released, it resolves to that batch’s Certificate of Analysis at Verification.

Holding the vial
Storage conditions are published per compound, below. Where a condition is not yet published, the table reads "Confirmed on dispatch", and the condition is stated on the dispatch note that arrives with the vial. Keep vials sealed until use, upright, in their inner packaging, and out of direct light. Do not decant into another container: the batch number, the seal and the record all belong to the vial.
