The Group Buy Problem: One Vial Passed. Others Started Growing Things.
Drop Zone tested one vial and it passed. Other vials tied to the buy appear to have started a small ecosystem, while the NAD arrived in several exciting shades of what the hell.
The Lab Report
Hands-on peptide lab reports — testing, COAs, vendor findings, and industry news.
The COA Shell Game: What Happens When a Peptide Vendor Applies to Peptide Critic
Three vendors applied. Three testing stories fell apart under basic scrutiny. Here is what we check, what a listing means and why somebody else's laboratory report is not proof of what a vendor sells.
Horizon Analytical and the Case of the Missing Third Party
Direct Peptides advertises “third-party batch tested” products. Public records tie it to Aspire Labs, while Aspire’s own recruiting materials describe building Horizon Analytical’s laboratory operation.
The Peptide Market Has a Zero-Pep Problem. We Found It at a Brooklyn Smoke Shop.
Four vials purchased over the counter. Two labels. Zero identity matches. What came back from the lab says more about the untested peptide supply chain than it does about one Brooklyn store.
I Clicked the First Peptide Ad Facebook Showed Me. Every COA Was Stolen.
Fueled by one mojito and the airtight cover story “I am very serious buyer and not investigative journalist :)” I entered the global peptide supply chain. It went exactly as well as you’d expect.
ILS Labs Can’t Fill Out a PDF, but Please "Trust the Science"
Previously at ILS: a dog became a vial, retatrutide achieved molecular perfection, and now an unidentified failed sample is somehow 100.00% pure. What the fuck, guys?
ILS Labs Finds 100% Pure Retatrutide, Chemistry Can Go Home Now
A little over a week after putting a dog on a peptide COA, ILS is back with a retatrutide result so perfect that impurities have apparently been discontinued.
Accumark - The Lab Selling Transparency Forgot to Explain Who They Are
The new peptide-testing brand sells provenance, traceability and “proof, not trust.” Its own corporate provenance is somehow the one thing nobody bothered to put on the website.
99.77% MOTS-C, 100% Good Boy: ILS Labs Issues a Certificate of Animalysis
ILS let a client upload a vial photo after the order was placed. A dog sailed onto the finalized COA. Then the lab’s “Purity, Identity & Quantitation” report forgot to quantify the vial.
SteriGenix Analytical: Fast COAs, Missing Basics
The lab says it can verify your peptide in three days. I would like it to verify itself first.
Redacted COAs, Failed Copyright Strike, and Victoria’s Retatrutide Warning: A Completely Unrelated Series of Events, Obviously
A Melbourne peptide vendor applied to Peptide Critic for a backlink, objected to being reviewed, demanded removal, called us fat, attempted copyright law, apologized, and then watched Victoria issue a serious warning about retatrutide sold online.
