PureRawz uses two named, physically verifiable testing labs - MZ Biolabs (Tucson, AZ, DEA Schedule III licensed) and Colmaric Analyticals (Tennessee) - and publishes COAs publicly on every product page without requiring login. Testing via HPLC and mass spectrometry is confirmed. The primary gap driving the Limited band score is COA recency: an independent review of the COA library confirmed that most documents date to 2019, despite the vendor's current inventory. Community sources note that approximately 30% of orders may receive COAs that are not batch-specific, making independent verification of the exact lot received functionally impossible for those orders. The refund policy is handled case-by-case with no standard return window published. Operating since 2017, PureRawz has one of the longest track records in the current catalog.
| Dimension | Max | Notes | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Third-Party Testing Practice | 30 | Two named labs: MZ Biolabs (2102 N Country Club Rd, Suite C, Tucson AZ - DEA Schedule III licensed, RP-verifiable) and Colmaric Analyticals (Tennessee). Both are physically verifiable facilities with documented analytical capabilities. HPLC with UV detection and mass spectrometry confirmed per MZ Biolabs' documented methodology. MZ Biolabs' standard service explicitly excludes sterility, endotoxin, heavy metals, and pH - this scope limitation is documented on MZ Biolabs' own public site. The two-lab approach is a differentiator relative to single-lab vendors. Deduction for scope limitations and the COA recency issue (addressed in Testing Recency). | 18/30 |
| Batch Traceability & Verification | 20 | COAs are published on every product page. However, published analysis confirmed that approximately 30% of COAs may be non-batch-specific - a product-level COA rather than a lot-specific COA does not confirm that the exact vial received matches the tested material. Independent review confirmed at least one MZ Biolabs COA (S-4/Andarine, lot 0049, August 21, 2023) hosted on the PureRawz server that demonstrates batch-specific documentation exists for at least some SKUs. The inconsistency across the catalog limits the traceability score materially. | 10/20 |
| COA Accessibility | 15 | COAs publicly accessible on every product page without login. No account required, no email request needed. Homepage links directly to the COA library. This is one of the stronger accessibility profiles in the catalog - a researcher can review documentation before purchase without any friction. Partial deduction for the recency and traceability inconsistencies that affect the utility of those accessible documents. | 13/15 |
| COA Completeness | 15 | HPLC and mass spectrometry confirmed per MZ Biolabs methodology. No sterility, endotoxin, or heavy metal testing in MZ Biolabs' standard service - explicitly stated on MZ Biolabs' own public site. Some community reports indicate COAs present summary purity numbers without full HPLC chromatograms, which limits independent verification of the analytical data. COA completeness varies across the catalog. | 9/15 |
| Testing Recency | 10 | Independent review of the PureRawz COA library confirmed that most published COAs date to 2019 - a 7-year gap from current inventory. A COA from 2019 does not document the purity or identity of material being sold in 2026. This is the single largest driver of the Limited band score. Community sources confirm some community members note that certain COA dates do not correspond to current batches. Partial credit for the operational breadth and the existence of some more recent documented COAs. | 3/10 |
| Policy Transparency | 5 | Location published: Knoxville, Tennessee. Refund policy is case-by-case with no standard return window stated - PureRawz describes handling each return individually, stating that over 99% of orders meet needs. No standard 30-day window. A BBB F rating is a publicly verifiable negative signal in this dimension. International shipping policy documented, which is a differentiator most US vendors do not offer. | 2/5 |
| Operational Track Record | 5 | Est. 2017, approximately 9 years of operation - the longest documented track record in this scoring batch and among the longer tracks in the full VTS catalog. Knoxville, Tennessee location published. Broad catalog across peptides, SARMs, and nootropics with international shipping. The 9-year track record is a genuine operational signal, partially offset by the BBB rating and community-reported quality inconsistencies. | 4/5 |
| Total | 59/100 |
