Analytical methodology — How we score suppliers

Why per-batch HPLC-UV, LC-MS, and net peptide content determine our rankings

A certificate of analysis is only as credible as the laboratory that issued it and the analytical techniques performed. Many low-tier vendors display undated, manufacturer-supplied chromatograms that omit molecular weight confirmation or confuse gross powder weight with actual net peptide content.

Our 100-point audit framework evaluates every supplier across five empirical dimensions, rewarding verifiable third-party laboratory testing such as Oath Research’s testing record covering more than 500 batches with Freedom Diagnostics (where more than half of the certificates are searchable without an account at oathresearch.com/lab-results).
