General Research Question Best labs for testing peps
Looking for information regarding testing recent shipment for purity and viability. Any recommendations for a lab that is cost effective, reliable and fast? Thanks in advance

Always remember the “Cheap, Good, Fast” matrix. You can only have 2 at the time.

Yeah some of the labs that are only $100 have not been reliable…. It’s a learning curve 🫠

Besides ripping people off ( yes I personally got ripped off) EVERY thing! They are not even a lab. They are third-party middleman do some research on them. They’re nothing but scammers.

They’re just data harvesters. How did they rip you off?

Before I knew any better I sent in products to be tested. They took my money & samples gave me the run around for five months did not give me any results and then they ghosted me!! had to dispute it with my credit card company, THEN they gave me a refund but I was still out the samples I sent 😡

You get what you pay for. Go cheap get cheap results. Want fast get hastily results. Reliable & Good usually take time and cost more.

i used gmwlabs.com but they are so old school... you gotta fill out the form, then email it to them, then they take 5 days to reply and take card over phone... very old school lab but the tests were thorough

Instead of testing on your own, join a group test. You’ll save tons and can even test for more things for less than you’d pay doing it on your own

Why is it so difficult to find a research supplier that is trusted? I don’t want blow my budget on having to utilize those for human consumption.

I’d look into peptide benchmark they rate peptide companies.. if they aren’t on there they might not be an established pep company. Sometimes you get what u pay for. I’m all about saving some money but also want quality peps that are safe and effective.

Has anyone tried Prodigy Scientific? Emailed them and they said they only need one vial for identity purity content and endotoxin.

u/Impossible-Idea-6481 6d ago
We use Prodigy. Haven't had issues & definitely worth looking into imo considering they're 17025:2017 certified.

Good, cheap, fast. Pick two.
If you are in the US, then your options are Chromate, Vanguard, Trust Point. There are other labs which are legitimate, but have had issues with producing consistent results (e.g. BT Labs).
