Many scientific papers are tightly-coupled to the code, data, and environments that produced them, and therefore the paper itself fails to provide much standalone value.
Failure to reproduce or replicate is a direct consequence of this coupling.

In episode two, Ian Sample asks which happiness strategies are backed up by science. He hears from Elizabeth Dunn, a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia, who recently scrutinised a whole lot of happiness research to work out which recommendations are most reliable

The information provided with this blot makes it clear that they intend you to believe the blot was generated in-house with their own equipment and materials. They also tried to cross-sell their other product lines. Of course, they quite likely bought the antibody from a third party.
