A good deal of what is sold as next-day in this market is ordered the moment you order it. The vial promised on Tuesday is on a container, in a customs queue, or on a shelf belonging to somebody the seller has never met.
Buying ahead is the expensive way to run this. Capital sits in a unit, and stock that moves slowly is stock we have already paid for. It is also the only arrangement under which a next working day dispatch means anything at all, so it is the one we run.
We are not a manufacturer and we will not imply otherwise. A reseller posing as a laboratory is the first thing a careful buyer catches, and it makes everything else on the page suspect. We write the specification, we commission the analysis, and we publish what comes back.
