Our Testing Process

Every vendor test follows the same six-step protocol, whether the samples come from a vendor submission or a mystery purchase.

1

Sample Acquisition

Samples are either submitted by the vendor or purchased anonymously from their website.

2

HPLC Purity Analysis

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography determines the percentage of the target peptide versus impurities. This is the single most important quality metric.

3

Mass Spectrometry

MS confirms the identity of the peptide by matching observed molecular weight to the expected value. A sample can be pure but still be the wrong compound.

4

Sterility Screening

Endotoxin and microbial contamination testing for products intended for sterile applications.

5

COA Verification

We compare the vendor-provided Certificate of Analysis against our independent results to measure transparency and accuracy.

6

Publication

All results are published on the vendor profile page with full component scores, composite grade, and detailed test data.
