Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Welcome to the Vial & Error Labs Information & Resource Center. Below are answers to common questions regarding our ordering process, analytical documentation, domestic fulfillment, and research standards.
1. Quality Control & Documentation
What is your Third-Party Independent Testing Guarantee?
We back our quality with complete transparency. If you choose to send a vial from your order to an accredited 3rd-party laboratory for independent HPLC/MS testing, submit the formal analytical report to us, and we will issue a $100 store credit, regardless of the result.
What purity standards do your compounds meet?
All compounds in our catalog are batch-verified at $\ge 98\%$ to $\ge 99\%$ purity using Reverse-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) with Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) identity confirmation.
Do you include a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every order?
Yes. Every single order corresponds to a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis. The COA details exact purity percentages, testing methodologies, and analytical data from independent ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories.
How do I access the COA or SDS for my specific lot?
We maintain an open-access Documentation Library. You can view and download high-resolution COA and GHS-compliant Safety Data Sheet (SDS) files at any time without creating an account or signing in.
2. Shipping & Order Fulfillment
How fast do orders ship?
All orders placed before our daily cutoff time ship the next business day directly from our Florida fulfillment facility.
What shipping options are available?
Domestic orders ship via USPS Priority Mail or Fedex express options. All orders over $150 qualify for Free Domestic Shipping. Tracking numbers are automatically generated and emailed as soon as your package is dispatched.
How are the products packaged for transit?
Lyophilized powders are stable at ambient temperatures during standard shipping transit. Products are packaged in insulated, discreet, protective packaging engineered to prevent physical damage and light exposure during travel.
