The case in front of me: VendorInvestigate · Wuhan Wansheng Biotechnology.
The figures are clear enough; the question is what they mean and what they do not.
I can supply the numbers if the specifics change the answer.
How should I read this, and where are the traps?
The single highest-value fact about VendorInvestigate is that they test material submitted from customers, not from suppliers, which makes their findings credible independent evidence.
Reports are published after testing is complete and verified, ensuring that suppliers cannot suppress unfavorable findings.
The underlying point is that analytical data are published in full, including HPLC traces, mass spectra and quantitation details.
The service has been operating long enough that systematic bias in their testing would be apparent.
Coverage is not comprehensive — only vendors that enough people choose to test are in the database.
Favorable reports are valuable and should increase your confidence in a vendor.
