Biotech Peptides is an established San Diego-based vendor with a broad catalog of 87+ US-synthesized peptides. HPLC and mass spectrometry testing is documented. The gap that limits the score is the primary site's testing language - 'our analytical lab uses mass spectrometry' - which implies in-house rather than independent third-party testing. Third-party review sources describe batch-level COAs on product pages, but the primary site does not name an external testing laboratory. Buyers should request a COA and confirm which lab issued it.
| Dimension | Max | Notes | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Third-Party Testing Practice | 30 | HPLC and mass spectrometry testing documented. COA evaluations confirmed on the About page. However, the primary site states 'our analytical lab uses mass spectrometry' - language that implies in-house or unspecified testing rather than a named independent third party. Some third-party review sources describe Biotech Peptides as having third-party COAs, but the vendor's own language does not clearly confirm this. | 14/30 |
| Batch Traceability & Verification | 20 | Third-party review sources describe batch-level certificates on product pages. Without a named external lab and no verification portal, cross-checking any result against an independent database is not possible. | 10/20 |
| COA Accessibility | 15 | Third-party review sources describe batch-level COAs on product pages. Pre-purchase accessibility appears present. Direct confirmation limited by primary site language ambiguity. | 11/15 |
| COA Completeness | 15 | HPLC and mass spectrometry both referenced. Endotoxin and sterility testing not mentioned in primary site language. Method specifics and chromatogram availability not confirmed. | 11/15 |
| Testing Recency | 10 | Active operation with ongoing sales. No systematically stale documentation identified. Scored conservatively given testing architecture ambiguity. | 6/10 |
| Policy Transparency | 5 | Refunds and Returns page exists. Credit card accepted per independent sources. Policy specifics not fully confirmed from primary site review. | 3/5 |
| Operational Track Record | 5 | Established San Diego-based operation. Multiple years of operation. 87+ compound catalog described in review sources. Broad catalog and established market presence are positive track record signals. | 4/5 |
| Total | 59/100 |
