Common questions
About our testing process
Answers to the questions we hear most often about how we test, what we test for, and what our standards mean in practice.
Who performs the testing?
An independent, accredited third-party laboratory with no financial relationship to Modern Peptide Labs or our manufacturers. The results are objective — we have no ability to influence or alter them.
What purity standard do you require?
All products must meet a minimum of ≥98% purity as verified by HPLC analysis before they are listed for sale. This is a hard floor — batches that fall below it are rejected without exception.
What does HPLC testing confirm?
HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) confirms both the identity of the compound — that it is what the label says it is — and its purity percentage. It is the recognized analytical standard for research-grade peptide verification.
What happens if a batch fails testing?
Failing batches are rejected entirely and never sold — not at a discount, not through any other channel. We absorb the cost of rejected batches as a non-negotiable part of our quality commitment.
Is every product in your catalog tested?
Yes. Every product we sell has passed our independent HPLC testing process. No product is listed for sale without first clearing our testing requirements.
Do you test every batch or just new products?
Every batch. Each time we receive new inventory of any product — regardless of how established that product is in our catalog — it goes through the full independent testing process before being listed.
