How reliable is Nootropics Depot now?

Going through some reviews, I'm struck by this reddit post in particular which is a huge concern. I'm willing to pay a premium for purity.
Specifically, I am interested in Tianeptine Sodium, Bacopa, and Theanine - and nootropicsdepot is the only vendor with all available.
edit: This reassured me to make the purchase. Thanks for the replies.

Hey /u/Agentleman89, sorry for the confusion. That post was from before I purchased Nootropics Depot and took it over. My team has been behind Ceretropic for a long time, but only recently took over Nootropics Depot's operations.
You can see my big post about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/comments/3l29ij/nootropics_depot/
You have nothing to worry about now for quality. We have our own in-house testing lab, with FTIR, HPLC, and a dedicated analytical chemist. We have an ISO-5 clean room, and are adding more analytical equipment in a week or two. We are a registered lab with Sigma Aldrich and USP, and use them for our reference standards. We also work with other 3rd party analytical testing labs for methods or equipment that we don't yet have the capabilities for. Our QA/QC procedures are the best in the industry. Since we have an in-house lab, we can run analysis of products throughout the entire production process, which no other nootropics vendor can do. We regularly pull samples from the shelves for spot checks, and always analyze a single jar/bottle from a lot before it gets approved for going on the shelf. So not only are the raw materials analyzed before going into production, analysis is happening during and after production of finished product; just to ensure no mistakes were made along the way. You can do all the testing you want on your raw materials, but if one of your employees mixes up/mislabels the container for Oxiracetam and Piracetam, that mistake will not likely be caught before affecting customers. With our system, we have checks, sign-offs, and analytical tests at multiple steps, to ensure no mistakes will ever affect customers. We also have more tracking and sign-offs than you can imagine.
Quality and safety are what I built this company on. So you do not have to worry about any of ND's products going forward. If you ever have an issue, you can PM me here, and I will get it taken care of. I am always around.
