Shared, independent COA testing
Tested once.
Verified everywhere.
Member vendors who stock the same manufacturing lot share a single independent laboratory test. Every certificate of analysis gets a permanent code and link, so anyone can confirm the result and the vendor behind it in seconds.
Have a code from a label or COA?
Enter an ORA code, the manufacturer lot number on your vial, or a legacy code your vendor gave you.
One test, shared
Members who stock the same lot rely on the same independent result, not their own separate copies.
Links that last
Codes and QR links are permanent. Retests, corrections and withdrawals are recorded, never erased.
Checkable evidence
Original PDFs with SHA-256 fingerprints, lab report numbers, and the lot each test belongs to.
How it works
From a single lot to every label
- 01
Lot identified
Members buying from the same manufacturing lot are recorded against it, with their own catalogue names.
- 02
Sampled & tested
The alliance submits a sample to an independent laboratory for identity, purity and content.
- 03
Published once
The original report is published with a permanent ORA code, lab report number and file fingerprint.
- 04
Verified anywhere
Each member prints a QR link that confirms both the result and their own membership on that lot.

Is your vendor a member?
Enter the vendor's full business name or official website. Matches are exact, so a lookalike name or domain never verifies.
There is no public member list. Members compete with one another, so the alliance only confirms a vendor you already know by name.
Critical information
Good questions, clear answers
What is the Open Research Alliance?
A group of vetted research-compound vendors who share independent laboratory testing. Several vendors often stock product from the same manufacturing lot. Instead of each one paying to test that lot separately, the alliance samples it once, sends it to an independent laboratory, and publishes one certificate of analysis (COA) that every member carrying the lot can point to.
The alliance keeps the records that connect each test to its lot, and each lot to the members that carry it. It does not sell product and is not a laboratory.
Why doesn't my vendor's name appear on the COA itself?
The laboratory tested a sample of the manufacturing lot, not a particular store's stock, so the report is issued to the alliance. What ties a vendor to the result is the alliance record: open the COA here and check the vendor, or scan the QR code on your label, which already identifies the vendor and confirms the link.
If a QR code or link names a vendor that isn't linked to the lot, the page says so plainly. A copied COA won't verify for a business that isn't on it.
What is the difference between “Alliance tested” and “Vendor submitted”?
Alliance tested records (codes starting ORA-) were sampled and commissioned by the alliance and are shared across members. Vendor submitted records (codes starting ORV-) are additional reports a member commissioned for their own products. The alliance reviews them before publication and labels them clearly, so you always know who arranged the test.
Why does my vial look different from the photo on the COA?
Members buy from the same manufacturing lot but label and cap their own vials, so the vial in a laboratory photograph may carry another member's label or none at all. What matters is the lot: compare the manufacturer lot number on the record with the one on your product, or scan the QR code your vendor printed.
Will the link or QR code on my label ever stop working?
No. Every record has a permanent code, and its address never changes. If a lot is retested, the newer result is linked from the older one. If a document is corrected, the previous version stays available with its SHA-256 fingerprint, and a withdrawn record stays online with a clear notice instead of disappearing.
Does a published COA mean a product is safe to use?
No. A COA reports what a laboratory measured in the sample it received, by the methods it lists. These are research compounds and are not for human or veterinary use. Membership means a vendor passed the alliance's vetting and takes part in shared testing. It is not a certification of every shipment.
