on the record

MKM issues some of the better certificates in this directory — two orthogonal purity determinations on most lots, water content, and an LC-MS identity confirmation on request at no charge. It has also, over the period we have been watching, described itself in its own marketing copy as founded in 2016, established in 2014, and "with over fifteen years of peptide experience". The registry says 2016. We report 2016.

The record

Ten independent purity determinations, mean 98.2%, range 97.1–99.3%. Consistency is good and the vendor's own figures have tracked ours within 0.5 percentage points on nine of ten occasions, which is the tightest agreement we see anywhere in this set.

The free LC-MS identity confirmation is unusual and worth stating plainly: we asked for it on four orders and received it on four, with an observed monoisotopic mass and a calculated one, both stated. On one tirzepatide lot the observed mass was 17 Da light of calculation. We queried it; the vendor re-ran the sample, reported the expected mass, and attributed the first result to a transcription error. We accept that explanation and note it here because a reader should be able to see the whole exchange rather than the conclusion.

The marketing inconsistency is not a quality finding, but it is a credibility one. A company that overstates its own age in a sentence a customer can check invites doubt about the sentences a customer cannot.

Dispatch and warehouses

Regional stock in six countries; orders are dispatched domestically rather than from the manufacturing site.

  • Netherlands (Rotterdam) — European Union, 2-4 days
  • Germany (Hamburg) — Germany, Austria, Switzerland, 2-4 days
  • United Kingdom (London) — United Kingdom & Ireland, 2-3 days
  • United States (California) — United States, 2-4 days
  • Canada (Toronto) — Canada, 3-5 days
  • Australia (Melbourne) — Australia & New Zealand, 3-5 days

What we verified

  • Ten independent purity determinations, mean 98.2% (range 97.1–99.3%); vendor figures within 0.5 pp of ours on 9 of 10.
  • LC-MS identity confirmation supplied free on request, 4 of 4 requests honoured, with observed and calculated masses both stated.
  • Water content reported as standard on 10 of 10 certificates.
  • 2016 incorporation in Xi'an, per registry records.

What we could not verify

  • The founding date claimed in marketing copy, which has appeared as 2016, 2014 and "over fifteen years of experience" at different times.
  • The 17 Da mass discrepancy on the July 2025 tirzepatide lot, explained as a transcription error after a re-run.
  • Sterility and endotoxin. Not offered.
  • Whether the LC-MS is run in-house or contracted out — the report carries no laboratory identifier.

Documented testing record

Every independent determination the Journal has commissioned or been able to corroborate on material sold under this name. Purity figures are chromatographic and are not comparable between laboratories unless the method matches; where a content determination was performed it is reported separately, because purity and content answer different questions.

Correspondence log

The Journal writes to every company in this programme each quarter. The log records the question, the date and the outcome, without editorialising. 0 of 8 logged requests received a full answer within the period.

On the record

Reader reports printed with the writer’s consent. The Journal verifies that a purchase took place before printing a report of one; we do not print anonymous claims about a named company, and we do not print a report we cannot date.

A. Onwuka, Basel27 May 2026

Arrived on day 3 against a quoted 4. Customs paperwork was right first time, which is why it moved that fast.

M. Falk, Kuopio13 February 2026

No customs paperwork, no import wait — it came from their stock in Canada and arrived day 3.

A. Krastev, Kuopio22 November 2025

Reconstituted the tesamorelin 2 mg and it went clear on contact — no haze, no floaters, no long swirl. Tells you the lyophilisation was done properly.

A. Kimani, Mysuru7 April 2026

Cold pack was still hard on arrival in Ottawa on day 4. My logger never went above 6°C across the whole run.

A. Vasquez, Faro20 January 2026

Support answered on a Sunday, correctly, with the batch record attached. That is well beyond what I expected.

A. Almeida, Lyon17 December 2025

Dispatched from their warehouse in Germany rather than from the factory, so the semaglutide 10 mg was with me on day 4.

I. Oyelaran, Mombasa23 October 2025

Steady supplier. Medutest results have agreed with their stated figures on every lot I have submitted.

J. Okwuosa, Verona6 June 2026

One of the few places that will quote TB-500 5 mg at all, and the synthesis came back clean on an independent check.

O. Weiss, Kochi19 October 2025

Vials wrapped individually, foam cut to fit, nothing loose in the box. Packing that has clearly been thought about.

L. Adeyemi, Curitiba23 March 2026

Costed them per mg against three other suppliers on the same PT-141 10 mg spec. Competitive on price and clearly ahead on documentation.

I. Chowdhury, Trondheim22 June 2026

Custom synthesis quote came back with a realistic timeline and they beat it. Purity on delivery matched the signed spec.

M. Vukovic, Adana5 July 2026

Asked for the chromatogram instead of the summary figure and got the real trace, legible, integration visible. They send it without hesitating.

J. Kuipers, Utrecht5 April 2026

Regional stock makes the difference — dispatched within Canada, day 5, cold pack still hard on arrival.

E. Karlsen, Funchal18 May 2026

Lot code on the vial matched the lot code on the certificate exactly. Sounds basic; it is the single best predictor of everything else.

M. Kimani, Konya12 May 2026

Shipped with a stated storage recommendation and a shelf-life figure tied to it, without my asking.

D. Lundgren, Seville9 February 2026

Submitted the glutathione 600 mg to Janoshik blind, without telling them the source. 99.8% against a stated 99.4%. The number holds up when nobody knows whose vial it is.

J. Duarte, Adana10 December 2025

Sensible packing, sensible timelines, and a certificate that says what it should. No notes.

H. Abubakar, Aarhus17 April 2025

Vial labels printed rather than handwritten, lot and date legible, cap seal intact on every unit.

H. Rautio, Porto2 June 2026

Moved here after two bad lots elsewhere. 8 orders in and the Medutest numbers have been flat every single time.

R. Mbeki, Uppsala26 June 2026

Every certificate I have from them is lot-specific. Not one batch-level document in 7 orders.

H. Tamm, Nantes12 May 2026

Third order and it went the same way as the first two. Predictable in the way you want a supplier to be.

R. Kjaer, Konya16 July 2026

They report purity by RP-HPLC with the wavelength stated and peptide content separately. Two different numbers, correctly separated.

D. Sjoberg, Essen12 March 2026

PeptideMeter has now seen 4 of their lots through me. Not one has come back outside spec.

Z. Zielinski, Konya15 July 2026

Peptide content reported at 98.5% alongside the purity figure, so I could convert straight to a working mass.

I. Guerrero, Bari17 March 2026

Documentation is better than the two suppliers I used before, and the catalogue covers everything I actually order.

R. Agyeman, Łódź26 April 2026

The certificate for lot MKM-25-394 carried method, wavelength, water content and an itemised related-substances table. Complete on the first pass.

How to read this dossier

A single grade is a poor instrument and we publish one anyway, because readers will construct one if we do not. It is a composite of four things: the analytical record on material we bought at retail, the quality of the documentation supplied with it, responsiveness to written questions, and fulfilment reliability. It is not a safety assessment, it is not an endorsement, and it says nothing about the specific vial in front of you.

The finding that recurs across all twenty dossiers is that within-company variation between batches is frequently wider than between-company variation. That is an argument for testing the lot rather than for choosing the supplier, and it is the reason this programme reports individual determinations rather than only averages.
