I received one Reta kit yesterday and the batch number on the COA is different from the batch number on the kit’s label. The company is Zhengzhou Taimei Dejian Trade Co., Ltd.
Reta order

I don't generally put too much faith in manufacturer or supplier/distributor COAs. Since it's a "trade company" I'm even more skeptical of COAs.
I have seen sellers post photos of their "current" stock with COAs that clearly state the cap color ... and that doesn't match the photo they posted.

Thank you. Do you think it could be a pure product? I’m going to send it off for testing.
No idea without testing it.
How did you purchase it? Where did you find the rep? Did you purchase through someone on WhatsApp that you found on echemi or made-in-china or alibaba? Depending on the distributor, I'd say some are more likely to be higher quality than others.
If you Google "Zhengzhou Taimei Dejian Trade Co" it comes up with a supplier profile on Alibaba.

Found on Made in China.
You got Reta from a china supplier WITH a batch number? Isn't that like spotting a unicorn?
Vendor COA's give you enough info to purchase but you still need to either pin & pray or get it tested by tested yourself directly or through a group test.

I wish I could pin & pray
It could be good or not. A company being on made in china could go either way. I've seen people burned by companies on there but I've also seen good results.
Since this says it was manufactured in Feb, I could understand why the coa on there would be old and from an old batch.

You could send to Peptide Test and have results before the end of the week or early next week. Hopefully, you bought more than one kit to spread your per-vial test cost over multiple vials.

How many vials would be too much to send at once?

Unless I'm misunderstanding just one. You don't get tested vials back.
You send just one vial (or more if you want) but the enitre vial is used for the test. When doing a group test, the group may vote to send more than one vial. It's typically $60-$100 dollars to test subsequent vials from the same batch but test results aren't tied to the individual vials sent in. They will all be listed on the COA but nothing will tell you which vial was 34mg vs. the one that tested at 33.5mg.
