What changed
Science.bio was a long-running U.S. supplier of research compounds. It announced its closure on January 27, 2026, and its own website now shows only a closure notice.
If you ordered from it, you are now choosing a new supplier, often one you have never bought from. The checks below take a few minutes each. None of them need a lab background, and all of them can be done before you pay.
Arctic Lab Supply is not affiliated with Science.bio, is not its successor, and is not endorsed by it. We are an independent supplier in Anchorage, Alaska.
What to check in any supplier
Run these on any supplier you are considering, including us. Each one has a clear pass and a clear fail, and none depends on taking the seller's word.
A report for the exact lot you will receive
A certificate of analysis describes one sample from one production lot. A generic sheet that never changes between orders tells you nothing about what ships.
- What failing looks like
- One PDF reused across products or strengths, or a report with no lot number on it.
The lot number on the report matches the vial label
The lot number is the only thing that ties a report to the vial in your hands. Find it on the report before you order. Find it again on the label when the parcel arrives.
- What failing looks like
- No lot number on the label, or a number that appears on no published report.
The report is published before the lot is sold
A report posted before a batch goes on sale is a record. A report produced after a customer asks is a response. You should be able to read it before checkout, without an account or an email request.
- What failing looks like
- "Available on request," or sent only after you have paid.
You can see who ran the analysis, and when
An independent report names the laboratory, carries a certificate number you can look up with that laboratory, states the method next to the result, and shows the test date.
- What failing looks like
- No laboratory named, no date, or a bare percentage with no method beside it.
A stated shipping origin, and tracking
You should know where your parcel ships from, and you should get a tracking number when the label is created, not when you ask for one.
- What failing looks like
- No stated origin, and tracking only on request.
A named company you can reach
A legal company name you can look up, a support email that gets answered, and published return terms. If you cannot tell who you are buying from, you cannot hold anyone to anything.
- What failing looks like
- A contact form and nothing else.
Plain research-use-only terms
A research supplier sells for laboratory use and says so plainly, on every page and at checkout. Health claims or use instructions are a legal and quality warning.
- What failing looks like
- Claims about what a product does, or advice on how to use it.
How Arctic handles each check
Each answer below points to a page where you can check it yourself.
| Check | What we do | Where to see it |
|---|---|---|
| Lot-specific report | Each product page states whether a lot-matched third-party report is currently published. A published report covers one product, one strength and one lot. | Product pages |
| Lot matches label | The lot on the report is the lot printed on the vial label. Compare the two when your order arrives. | Verification guide |
| Published before sale | A lot's report goes up before that lot is sold. Past reports stay in the library. | Batch documentation |
| Who ran it, and when | Each report shows the lot, method, reported result, test date and certificate number, with a link to the issuing laboratory's own verification page. | Report library |
| Shipping speed and tracking | Orders ship the next business day (order by 6 PM ET, 7 days a week), or we refund your shipping. Every parcel ships from Anchorage, Alaska, and the tracking number is emailed when the label is created. U.S. orders of $99 or more ship free. We also ship to most other countries (not Australia, New Zealand, countries under U.S. sanctions, or where USPS has paused mail). | Shipping policy |
| Ways to pay | Card or bank transfer on a secure hosted invoice, or Zelle. Zelle orders get 5% off, shown at checkout. No account is needed. | FAQ |
| A company you can reach | Arctic Lab Supply LLC, an Alaska company based in Anchorage. Full company details are on our official page. Email support@arcticlabsupply.com; Dane or the team replies within 1 business hour (support hours 3 PM–1 AM ET, 7 days a week). | Company details, returns |
| Research-use terms | Everything we sell is for laboratory research use only. Buyers must be 21 or older and confirm research use before checkout. We make no medical or use claims. | Terms |
What these checks cannot tell you
- A report describes a sample, not your parcel. The laboratory tested material from the lot, not the vial that reaches you. That is why matching the lot number on the label is a step you do yourself.
- Paperwork says nothing about service. How quickly an order ships and how a problem gets handled are things you learn from one order, not from a PDF.
- Passing every check is not a guarantee. It means a supplier's claims are set up so they could be caught being wrong. That is the most any page, this one included, can show you before you buy.

Common questions
Is there a new Science.bio website?
Science.bio announced its closure on January 27, 2026, and its website now shows a closure notice. Some sites now use a similar name. A similar name tells you nothing about who runs a site, so check any of them the same way: a named business with an address and a way to reach a person, and a published third-party report whose lot number matches the label on what you receive. Arctic Lab Supply is not affiliated with Science.bio.
Is Arctic Lab Supply affiliated with Science.bio?
No. Arctic Lab Supply LLC is an independent company in Anchorage, Alaska. We have no connection to Science.bio and are not its successor.
Where do Arctic Lab Supply orders ship from?
Anchorage, Alaska, by USPS with tracking on every parcel. Orders paid by 6 PM ET, 7 days a week, ship the next business day, or we refund your shipping. U.S. orders of $99 or more ship free. We also ship to most other countries; not to Australia, New Zealand, countries or regions under U.S. sanctions, or countries where USPS has paused mail.
Can I see the lab report before I order?
Yes, where one is published. Each product page states whether a lot-matched third-party report is currently published. Every published report is in the report library with its lot number, test date, certificate number and a link to the laboratory's own verification page. No account is needed.
Is there a first-order discount?
Yes. FIRST25 takes 25% off a first order and is applied automatically when you shop from our start page. It is for first orders only, one per customer, and cannot be combined with other codes.
