Buying guide
Vendors whose lab reports you can check yourself
14 of the 57 vendors indexed here publish certificates signed by a laboratory that runs its own public lookup, which means you can pull the report from the laboratory instead of trusting the copy on the vendor's site. That covers 304 certificates across 2 laboratories. Every lot below links to the document and to the lookup that will confirm it.

Ordered by overall score, which is computed from a published rubric and never from any commercial arrangement. Inclusion here is narrower than the main ranking: it requires certificates from a laboratory that lets you check them.
How to check one, in five steps
- Get the certificate for your exact lot. Read the lot number off the vial, not off the product page. Ask the vendor for the certificate matching that lot if it is not published. A vendor that cannot produce one for the lot it shipped you has failed the only test that matters here.
- Check that the laboratory is not the vendor. Find the laboratory name on the certificate. If it is the vendor’s own name, a job title such as "Principal Chemist", or absent entirely, the document is not third-party evidence regardless of how it is presented.
- Find the lookup identifier. Laboratories that publish a lookup print an identifier for it. Freedom Diagnostics prints a Search Code in the table at the top right of every report. Janoshik prints a task number and an access key. That identifier, not the vendor’s link, is what proves the report exists at the laboratory.
- Pull the report from the laboratory. Enter the identifier on the laboratory’s own site and compare what comes back against the vendor’s copy: purity, assayed mass against labelled mass, and the date. If they disagree, the laboratory is right.
- Check the assayed mass, not just the purity. Purity is the share of what is in the vial that is the peptide. It says nothing about how much is there. A vial can assay at 99% purity and still contain a third less peptide than the label claims, so read the assayed mass against the labelled mass every time.
The laboratories that let you check
Freedom Diagnostics Testing — 299 certificates, 12 vendors
Every certificate prints a Search Code in the table at the top right, formed from a short client prefix and the accession number. Enter it in the lab’s own lookup and the report comes back from the laboratory, not from the vendor.
Janoshik Analytical — 5 certificates, 2 vendors
Janoshik reports carry a task number and an access key. Both appear on the certificate and are entered together on the laboratory’s own results page.
Certificates from the other 10 laboratories on record can be read but not re-pulled. That is a weaker position than a lookup, even where the laboratory is entirely genuine, and it is why those vendors are not on the shortlist above.
