// Methodology

How We Test

Our testing methodology is designed to eliminate bias and provide the research community with reliable sourcing data.

01

Anonymous Purchase

We purchase peptides anonymously using team member accounts — vendors have no knowledge of our testing. Orders placed across different time periods to assess consistency.

02

Third-Party HPLC Analysis

All samples are sent to an independent analytical chemistry laboratory for HPLC-UV testing. We verify purity, identify impurities, and confirm compound identity via mass spectrometry.

03

COA Cross-Verification

Vendor-provided Certificates of Analysis are compared against our independent results. Discrepancies are flagged and factored into our transparency score.

04

Quarterly Re-Testing

Top-ranked vendors are re-tested quarterly. Rankings are updated when new data becomes available or when significant quality changes are detected.
