Why this market is targeted
Research compounds are high value by weight, are bought by people who often cannot analyse them independently, and are frequently sold through channels with no accountability. A counterfeit that contains nothing at all may never be identified as such, because a null experimental result is easy to attribute to something else.
That asymmetry is what makes verification worth building. The counterfeiter's advantage is that the buyer cannot check; removing that advantage is the entire objective.
Controls in use
- Batch-linked RVL codes checked against production records rather than against printed material
- Batch numbers carried consistently on the vial label, the outer box and the Certificate of Analysis
- Sealed outer packaging
- Retained batch records that allow a specific vial to be traced to its production run
What a buyer can check independently
Confirm the batch number is the same in all three places it appears. Verify the printed code and check that the returned description matches the box in hand. Confirm the packaging is intact and unopened.
Where any of those disagree, the sensible position is to treat the material as unverified and raise it, rather than to assume a printing error.
