- Lowered from8.14to8.09(-0.05)
Pricing recomputed on 23 October 2026 from current listings with the published rule (section E), after listings added or updated since 22 October, including a newly reviewed vendor's, moved the market median for the same products: pricing 8.8 to 8.5.
- Raised from8.03to8.14(+0.11)
Lab score recalculated on 22 October 2026 under the published core-product rule (A1b): a missing certificate on one of the 15 most widely carried products still counts fully, while on any other product it now counts at half weight, so a broad catalogue is not penalised as much for its breadth. Lab 8.8 to 9.0.
- Raised from7.85to8.03(+0.18)
Re-scored on 22 October 2026 under the published rulebook, which now gives one rule for each judgement call and applies it to every vendor: shipping and refunds 6.5 to 7.5, transparency 5.5 to 5.0.
- Raised from7.58to7.85(+0.27)
Re-scored on 22 October 2026 under version 2 of our published rules. The deduction for verification codes the laboratory could not find was retired: each such certificate now keeps its points for the printed key and earns none for confirmation, and codes on certificates we do not score no longer count; the deduction for the PT-141 copy was also retired, because that lot is not the scored PT-141 certificate. Lab 8.3 to 8.8. Score 7.58 to 7.85.
- Raised from7.54to7.58(+0.04)
Re-scored on 22 October 2026 under our published rubric for shipping, pricing, operating history and transparency, applied to every vendor the same day: prices re-read from the vendor's site and matched by milligrams per vial, operating history from the earliest dated evidence of the business, and policies scored item by item. shipping and refunds 6.0 to 6.5, operating history 3.0 to 2.3, transparency 6.0 to 5.5.
- Lowered from7.81to7.54(-0.27)
Lab score recalculated on 22 October 2026 under the uniform published rubric applied to every vendor: every listed product was rescored on the same fixed certificate points, with fixed deductions for verification codes the issuing laboratory could not find and posted certificate copies that differ from the laboratory's own copy. Lab 8.8 to 8.3.
- Raised from7.04to7.81(+0.77)
Full certificate library re-checked on 21 October 2026: all 205 files in the library were read and 189 certificate codes were checked against Freedom Diagnostics and ILS Laboratories records, of which 186 matched. Certificates cover 30 of the 31 products we list, most with multi-vial panels including endotoxin and sterility screening. Lab 7.4 to 8.8.
