The 5-step supplier qualification
- 01
Initial outreach
Use the cold email template. Request product list, MOQ, lead time, and 3 recent COAs from different batches.
- 02
Sample order
Buy 2–3 SKUs at sample-pack pricing. Pay via the supplier's preferred B2B method (typically wire or bank transfer). Track shipping pattern, packaging quality, and communication speed.
- 03
Third-party verification
Send vials to Janoshik (€60) and Ascend Analytical. Verify peptide identity, purity (>95%), endotoxin levels, and contamination. Compare results across labs.
- 04
Pilot run
Order 50–100 vials per SKU. Sell to your existing list at slight discount. Track customer feedback, side-effect reports, and reorder rate over 30 days.
- 05
Lock terms
Negotiate Net 30, regional exclusivity (or first-right-of-refusal on new SKUs), and white-label packaging at 500-vial+ orders.
