NuScience Peptides publishes 60+ batch-specific COA documents at nusciencepeptides.com/nuscience-lab-test-results/ accessible without login, with testing dates confirmed through July-August 2026. Third-party testing via HPLC and mass spectrometry is confirmed on every reviewed batch. The results page describes testing as conducted by "independent third-party laboratories" without naming the facility; however, Freedom Diagnostics is identifiable from COA PDF filenames. The COA library is a gallery display rather than a searchable lot-number database. The most significant transparency gap is a no-refund policy - no standard return window exists for unopened products, which is the most restrictive buyer posture among vendors currently scored in the VTS catalog.
| Dimension | Max | Notes | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Third-Party Testing Practice | 30 | Third-party testing confirmed. HPLC (purity) and mass spectrometry (identity) documented on all reviewed COAs. The results page describes testing as conducted by "independent third-party laboratories" without naming the facility. Freedom Diagnostics is identifiable from COA PDF filenames (e.g., COA_BPC5_Freedom.09.30.25.pdf, COA_5.Amino_Freedom_09.30.25.pdf) - verifiable on close inspection but not prominently disclosed. This partial disclosure earns more than an unnamed-lab claim, but less than a vendor that names the lab and credentials on the page itself. | 20/30 |
| Batch Traceability & Verification | 20 | 60+ batch-specific COA documents published. Each entry links to a uniquely named PDF with product and lot identifiers visible in the filename. Dates in PDF filenames confirm per-batch rather than generic documentation. The page is a gallery display rather than a searchable lot-number lookup, so a researcher must manually browse to find a specific batch - no query-by-lot functionality exists. | 14/20 |
| COA Accessibility | 15 | COA library accessible at /nuscience-lab-test-results/ without login or account creation. PDFs directly downloadable. Homepage prominently links to the lab results page. Gallery format without lot-number search is a mild friction point relative to vendors with queryable databases, but the library is genuinely open and comprehensive. | 11/15 |
| COA Completeness | 15 | HPLC and mass spectrometry confirmed. COA scope covers purity and identity. No documented sterility, endotoxin, or heavy metal testing visible in the public library. Testing scope consistent with Freedom Diagnostics' standard analytical service. | 9/15 |
| Testing Recency | 10 | COA library contains documents dated through July-August 2026, confirming an active ongoing testing cadence. Multiple GLP-class compounds show 2026 COA dates. No evidence of stale documentation being recycled. Among the strongest recency profiles in the current VTS catalog. | 9/10 |
| Policy Transparency | 5 | Physical address (Albuquerque, NM) and phone number (704-666-1701) published. No standard return or refund window is publicly documented - NuScience operates a no-refund model. This is the most restrictive return posture in the current VTS catalog; every other reviewed vendor offers at minimum a return window for unopened items. A no-refund policy is not a safety concern, but the absence of a documented buyer remedy for non-defective product is a verifiable transparency gap in this dimension. | 2/5 |
| Operational Track Record | 5 | Vendor claims 20+ years of industry experience. Physical address in Albuquerque, NM and phone number publicly documented. Long claimed history is credited; consistent catalog depth and active COA production support genuine ongoing operation. Full 5/5 is not awarded as independent domain-age verification of the complete operational history is limited. | 4/5 |
| Total | 69/100 |
