Where to find bromantane
Original post in this thread

Ceretropic carries it, but they're out of stock and I'm tired of waiting for it to get restocked. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm really interested in testing it out. I'm having trouble finding a reputable source with a reasonable price. I'm in the US btw. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

It's quite unusual that two major players are out of stock at the same time, but also worrying - this points to supply chain or other (legality?) issues. As an alternative you can always go with rupharma, although the price will be higher since it's pharma.

There is nothing wrong with our supply chain or legalities. We have plenty of Bromantane just sitting here. However, I do not trust 3rd party labs blindly anymore. So we are trying to do all the testing in-house on our HPLC with our methods. This takes time to test and verify the methods. We have been diluting our stock TFA/Water mixture to reach the proper concentration for the methods we have. However, that is not giving us a clean read. So we have pure TFA on the way from Sigma, and we are making the mobile phase from scratch, rather than diluting a stock one. We are hoping that cleans up the reads, and the methods work properly.
I could send off to Colmeric, and get a % number that might or might not be accurate. However, I do not want to do that anymore. This is also why we are out of stock on Pramiracetam. I do not trust any of the labs that have previously tested it, and to be extra sure that we have verified and repeatable methods for testing it. Very few labs share their HPLC methods, and you have to pay thousands of dollars for journals that have a couple of relevant methods in them. Some compounds just do not even have verified methods at all. So labs kludge them together to show what they want it to say. I am not comfortable certifying batches in that manner anymore. I don't just want to see a % purity, and trust a lab blindly. I want my team to be running thing in-house, and to be able to see the results myself, and repeat and test the methods to ensure things are pure. 3rd party labs do not respond well to me asking for all this hard data. It just takes a lot longer for us to do all this in-house, and certify our methods. That is why we are currently out of stock. My team is on top of it, though. When we put it back up, it will be because we have done everything in our power to ensure it is pure.
