CellVita Research Labs operates a professionally built, publicly accessible site with a dedicated COA index at cellvitaresearchlabs.com/coas listing all 30 products with stated ≥99% HPLC purity. The site claims HPLC, mass spectrometry, and endotoxin screening on every batch through a cGMP-compliant US facility. The gap is that COAs are not downloadable from the index - each product shows a "Request COA" button linking to a contact form. The COA page explicitly states: "documentation is provided per batch on request." No testing laboratory is named. No operating entity, physical address, or policy pages (refund, shipping, or terms) are accessible anywhere on the site - the only links from the footer are to Catalog, Purity & Testing, COAs, Research, and Contact. The site's technology stack suggests a 2025-2026 launch.
| Dimension | Max | Notes | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Third-Party Testing Practice | 30 | Testing scope claimed: HPLC purity (≥99%), mass spectrometry identity confirmation, and endotoxin screening - described as standard for "every lot." cGMP-compliant US manufacturing facility stated. No testing laboratory is named by facility name, address, or credentials. The endotoxin screening claim is a differentiator relative to labs like MZ Biolabs that explicitly exclude it from standard service. Without a named lab, the scope and credibility of the claim cannot be independently evaluated. Partial credit for the specificity of the stated panel. | 12/30 |
| Batch Traceability & Verification | 20 | The COA index at /coas lists all 30 products with "Batch-specific certificate" labels and lot-level documentation stated. Each entry includes the product name and a Request COA link. The structure confirms batch-level documentation exists. However, no batch codes, lot numbers, or sample COA documents are accessible publicly - the index is a catalog of what's available on request, not a browseable archive. Partial credit for the structured batch documentation claim and the publicly accessible index; deduction for the request-only access model. | 9/20 |
| COA Accessibility | 15 | COAs are provided per batch on request via a contact form at /contact?topic=coa. The COA page explicitly states: "Because each certificate is tied to a specific production lot, documentation is provided per batch on request." This is email-on-request access, which scores minimally under VTS methodology. The COA index itself is publicly accessible and well-organized, but the index is a menu, not a library. Minimal credit for the stated availability. | 3/15 |
| COA Completeness | 15 | Claimed panel: HPLC purity, mass spectrometry identity, and endotoxin screening. If accurate, this is a more complete scope than MZ Biolabs' standard service (which excludes endotoxin). No COA is publicly accessible for review, so completeness cannot be independently confirmed. Partial credit for the specificity of the claimed scope, with deduction for inability to verify. | 8/15 |
| Testing Recency | 10 | Site estimated to have launched 2025-2026 based on technology stack (Next.js application). All documentation would be recent by definition for a new operation. No COA dates publicly accessible. Moderate credit for a vendor operating with an active catalog in a presumably current testing cycle. | 4/10 |
| Policy Transparency | 5 | No refund policy, shipping policy, terms of service, or privacy policy is accessible from anywhere on the site. The site footer links only to Catalog, Purity & Testing, COAs, Research, and Contact. No operating entity name, no physical address, no phone number, and no individual names are published. The Contact page is a form only. This is the most complete absence of policy documentation in the VTS catalog - scoring reflects zero verifiable policy commitments. | 1/5 |
| Operational Track Record | 5 | Estimated 2025-2026 launch based on site technology. No entity name, no registration information, and no named founders. The site presents professionally but provides no independently verifiable operational anchors. Very limited track record. | 1/5 |
| Total | 38/100 |
