Its a little difficult to see how that is possible higher purity for a lower cost?
A. The answer is simple. We manufacture all but a few of our products ourselves, and we have large-scale preparative liquid chromatography purification capabilities. Over the past twenty years we have developed numerous proprietary, very efficient, low-cost production methods that have been optimized to provide very high final purity. We have also located very low-cost sources of raw materials for our manufacturing. When you purchase directly from LC Laboratories, there is no additional cost for a middleman. When middlemen buy and resell products, usually that introduces a two- to four-fold increase in the product cost. We also take extraordinary care to study and verify the purity and stability of our products. This is extremely important, because many popular products have subtle purity or stability problems that other vendors ignore. Examples include okadaic acid products, calyculin A, chelerythrine, phorbol esters, bafilomycin A1, ryanodine and lavendustins A and B.
