Vial Drop Labs
Read from the public documentation portal on 2026-09-22: 15 KMD Analytical certificates (HPLC-DAD purity and content per vial), all 15 verifiable by ID at kmdanalytical.com; 22 compound records written, including per-component results from five blend certificates. Catalogue and prices sit behind a 21+ customer account, so no prices could be captured. The storefront domain was registered on 2026-08-03 and the laboratory's on 2026-06-30; neither claims accreditation.

PepIndex score
59.4 / 100
3.0/ 5Partly documentedData coverage
74%
Coverage is the share of scored fields we hold and corroborated for Vial Drop Labs. A score built on a handful of unchecked claims and a score built on forty verified data points are not the same finding, so both numbers are always published together. How coverage is computed.
Is Vial Drop Labs legit?
Yes, on the evidence PepIndex holds. We have read 22 certificate records for Vial Drop Labs, all issued by KMD Analytical (KMD Group LLC), and score it 59.4/100 on 74% data coverage — rank 28 of 58.
- Across those lots the mean assayed purity is 99.62%, and the weakest single lot came back at 97.30%.
- 4 of 22 lots assayed below the mass printed on the label.
- PepIndex checked the laboratory on those certificates, KMD Analytical (KMD Group LLC), for ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and found none on record.
- Its certificates can be read without an account, so anyone can check these figures.
- On the business side it publishes a named legal entity.
What this does not tell you
- PepIndex has located no independent customer reviews for Vial Drop Labs, so nothing here speaks to its service or fulfilment.
- A score measures what a vendor publishes about its testing and its business. It does not measure the contents of any vial a buyer actually receives, and PepIndex does not commission its own assays.

Discrepancy is computed as the absolute difference between labeled and assayed mass, divided by the labeled mass. A vendor-published certificate is a claim; only an independently commissioned assay is treated as corroboration.
Recorded data pointsEvery field with its source, capture date and whether we corroborated it7 verified10 claimed2 not recordedView all →Hide ↑
A tag of verified means we opened the cited source and confirmed the value; published means we recorded the vendor’s own published information, taken at face value. Both count in full; only a value with no checkable source earns nothing. Fields older than 30 days are marked stale.

What the certificates test
Beyond purity and mass. Each row is an assay the laboratory ran and the verdict its own certificate printed. Coverage is recorded, not figures: these documents are tables, and the specification and the result are not reliably separable once the text is extracted.

Not reported on the certificates read: Elemental impurities / heavy metals, Microbial / bioburden. A test a certificate does not mention is a test this index holds nothing on — it is not a failure and is not counted as one.

Regulatory & enforcement record
No adverse regulatory or enforcement action on record. We record authority actions — FDA warning letters, import alerts, seizures, criminal charges — when located. Self-reported reviews are deliberately not scored, because for this market they can be manufactured.
How this score was calculatedEvery signal, its weight and the arithmetic — reconstructable by handrubric v1.12.0View calculation →Hide ↑
Each criterion is scored out of 100 over the signals we could assess, then weighted into the overall figure. Within a criterion, a signal contributes weight × merit × credit: merit is how good the recorded value is, credit is what its provenance earns — 1.00 for a value with a checkable source, 0 for a value recorded without one. A missing signal counts as a partial gap — half its weight — so a vendor that publishes what others leave blank scores higher, while a blank still costs; a value recorded without a source counts in full and earns nothing, so omitting one can never raise a score. A criterion with no data at all — price, when no price could be indexed — contributes nothing and its weight is not handed to the others, so an unmeasured dimension lowers the ceiling rather than disappearing; the coverage figure, shown alongside, reports how complete the assessment is. The weighted criteria sum to the evidence score; for a vendor published since the rule took effect, the published score is that figure times a tenure factor for time in the index, printed in the total below.
