5. Purity Designations
Specification Test Result Range
> 99.5% 99.45 - 99.99%
> 99% 99.01 - 99.99%
99% 98.75 - 99.99%
> 98.5% 98.45 - 99.99%
> 98% 98.01 - 99.99%
Our purity specifications are based on elemental analysis, NMR, TLC, and HPLC analyses. Each of these analytical methods contributes to the assessment of purity. Elemental analysis is particularly important because it detects impurities that cannot be detected by routine NMR, TLC, HPLC or mass spectrometry. Our HPLC purity figures are based on UV absorbance detection and integration of relative peak areas. Our purity specifications do not include residual solvents or water, which are in most cases less than 5% by weight.
We presently do not sell any catalog-numbered products that test lower than 98.01%, except for rare cases where slight instability or other purification problems necessitate a lower purity specification.
Also, upon special request we occasionally do sell compounds of lower than 98% purity, but only by special arrangement, on a case-by-case basis, and never under our regular catalog numbers.
6. The Highest Purity and the Lowest Prices
We advertise our products as having, “The highest purity and the lowest prices.”
Generally, the prices of each size of each of our products are lower than the prices charged by other vendors whose products and public information policies conform to the criteria set forth in our price comparison tables.
Also, generally, our products are virtually always the highest purity available.
It will occasionally be the case that a few of our prices will not be the lowest compared to those of other vendors on our price comparison tables for a small number of sizes and/or products of equal purity. But for the vast majority of our products we do indeed offer the highest purities at the lowest prices. And, very rarely, there may be cases where the purity of a given product is lower than the purity claimed by one or more other vendors.
7. Credit Cards
We Accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover and JCB.
8. In-Stock Orders Shipped within 1 Business Day
Subject to credit requirements and delays related to communications such as pro forma invoices or other paperwork needing to be confirmed or resolved, orders for in-stock products are shipped within 1 business day after the ordering process is completed.
9. Domestic Order and Shipments
Orders may be placed by phone, fax, ordinary mail or via our web site, www.LCLabs.com, for shipment to established institutions.

Unless otherwise specified, your order will be shipped through, Fedex or UPS to arrive in the afternoon of the following day.
