Check notes
The storefront is entirely account-gated: 'we now require researchers to log in to their user account in order to view our full selection of research materials.' No product page, price or COA document is visible to a logged-out visitor. The public Quality Assurance page names four testing partners - 'Vanguard Laboratory, Chromate, TrustPointe Analytics, Freedom Diagnostics' - and describes the intended verification path ('Every product at Modern Aminos includes both a Batch Number and a QR Code on the vial label ... it will take you directly to the specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) for that batch'), plus the analytical methods used (HPLC, NMR, TLC, ICP-MS, MS by MALDI/ESI, LAL endotoxin, sterility). It also states 'Not every research chemical receives every single test.' The 'View All COAs Here' link (/all-coas/) redirected a logged-out visitor back to the login-gated homepage, so no COA document could be opened and no report content, lab letterhead, batch code, purity figure or verification code could be inspected. An account was not created, so whether COAs are readable before payment could not be determined. The site returns HTTP 403 to non-browser clients but loads normally in a browser. A street address and support email are published; no phone number is listed. An EU storefront is referenced at modernaminos.eu.
How to read this
Points are awarded only for a signal we confirmed as a yes. A no means we looked and the signal was not published on the check date. "Not checked" means the signal could not be resolved either way, for example because a storefront was account-gated or no vial label was viewable, and it earns nothing and implies nothing. Confidence is the share of the twelve signals we resolved with a source you can open, so a high score at low confidence is a thinner claim than the same score at full confidence.
