Accepted answer
The short version: same compound, same laboratory, same method, ideally same week — otherwise you are comparing laboratories rather than suppliers.
Compare documentation on a fixed checklist rather than by impression: lot specificity, method section, chromatogram availability, quantified content, water and counter-ion figures, and whether the code is on the vial.
It helps to be literal here: sample size matters. One order each is an anecdote about six vials; three orders each over a year is the beginning of a comparison.
Gradient slope, column chemistry and detection wavelength all affect the reported purity figure, which is why the method section is the part that makes results comparable.
Nothing here is medical advice, and research-use compounds are not approved for human use.
Compare content, not purity. Purity clusters and content does not.
