Chemical engineering

Very often, when we require materials for pretty much anything, there are 2 ways of getting them. One, the proper, legal (and sometimes expensive) way, and two, the illegal and (and often much cheaper) method. And a lot of times we see people who go in for the latter option, much out of convenience and also because it's much easier on their wallets.
However, in the field of chemical research, one simply cannot afford to take any sort of risks with these materials. They have to be the best quality if you're using chemicals such as MDAI or NRG-1, and must be procured legally. This is because one person can never tell what they're bargaining for when they try to obtain pirated chemicals - for all you know it might be adulterated, and that could have disastrous effects.
