What the accreditation actually covers
Food microbiology by AOAC methods, trace elements by ICP-MS using EPA 200.8 modified, residual solvent analysis, and parabens and organic acid preservatives. Matrices are food, pharmaceuticals, environmental samples, drinking, surface and waste water, sewage and biosolids.
Peptide purity and identity testing (HPLC) are not on this list.
- The only lab here that checks for fentanyl. Of all the things that could get into a vial, fentanyl is the most likely to kill somebody.
- The accreditation is real, but it does not cover peptide purity. It does cover the heavy metals and leftover solvent tests inside the Gold and Elite panels. That is worth something.
- You pay by invoice after the sample arrives. They hold the report until the bill is paid.
