Partner Testing Labs
Finnrick works with several independent analytical laboratories to test peptide samples we list on the site. Each lab uses its own validated analytical workflow, instrumentation, and reporting conventions.
To improve transparency, Finnrick asked participating labs to answer a short methodology questionnaire covering topics such as calibration, sample preparation, quantification method, and stated uncertainty. Their responses are published below so readers can better understand how each lab generates its results.
Finnrick does not assume that any single lab represents a ground truth. Instead, we evaluate laboratory performance empirically by analyzing large numbers of overlapping tests — cases where multiple labs analyze samples from the same batch. By examining distributions across hundreds of such comparisons, we can estimate whether a lab tends to report systematically higher or lower quantities, and whether its results are consistent relative to peers.
The goal of this page is therefore not to rank laboratories, but to provide context:
- How each lab says it performs its measurements
- How those measurements compare to other labs in practice
- How Finnrick evaluates lab performance using aggregated data

Methodology Questionnaire
Finnrick sent participating labs the following ten questions about their analytical workflow. Click on a lab name in the table above to read their responses.
A) Quantification Basis
- Is reported quantity based on absolute calibration against a reference standard, or relative/normalized signal?
- Do you average replicate injections or preparations before reporting a single value?
B) Sample Preparation
- Do you assume full recovery of peptide upon reconstitution, or do you measure recovery implicitly?
- Do you correct for adsorption, losses, or degradation, or are these reflected in the final number?
C) Detection & Calculation
- Which detector(s) are used for quantification (UV, MS, both), and which signal is authoritative for quantity?
- How is purity incorporated into quantity (e.g., normalization vs independent measurement)?
D) Precision & Uncertainty
- What is your stated margin of error for this peptide, and does it include preparation + calibration uncertainty?
- Are reported values rounded, truncated, or raw calculated outputs?
E) Interpretation
- Does your reported “mg per vial” represent recovered mass, inferred mass, or label-equivalent mass?
- Under what conditions would you expect two vials from the same batch to differ by <1%?
