Test Peptide Products

Finnrick accepts a growing list of peptide products for testing. The product table below shows, for each compound:

• whether testing is Free for the public or offered for a fee
• how many test results have been published so far
• the link to register: Test my [product] sample

If you do not see a product listed, check in the “other products” menu of the sample registration form, as additional products are listed there. You can also get in touch to suggest a product for future testing.

At a high level, the peptide testing workflow is:

1. You choose a productfrom the list below or the “other products” menu, and register your sample.
2. We confirm by email, provide shipping instructions, and you ship the sample to the Finnrick facility in Texas (US shipments only!).
3. The sample is processed, anonymized, then sent to a commercial lab for analysis.
4. You receive a Certificate of Analysis (COA) by email
5. Test results for eligible samples are published, with an update of the vendor's Finnrick Score.

For details on scoring and how Finnrick translates lab results into ratings, see the Testing and Rating Methodology.

Finnrick partner labs typically use HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) as the primary analytical method for peptide purity testing and quantity verification.

In general, HPLC-based testing is used to measure:

• Identity: whether the expected active substance is present.
• Purity: how much of the sample is the expected substance compared to peptide impurities or degradation byproducts.
• Quantity / potency: how the measured amount compares to the claim (the “label claim” listed on the vial, or a vendor-published “batch claim”).

These measurements help the public compare products using consistent test methods.

A vendor-supplied Certificate of Analysis is valuable, whether run by that vendor’s own lab facilities, or by a third-party lab: it states the vendor’s claim regarding a product batch they are bringing to market, and demonstrates a welcome intent to use evidence in their marketing.

However, it doesn’t serve the same purpose as independent verification. A vendor COA is established from a sample selected by the vendor, by a provider paid by the vendor. It is informative, but not independent: it cannot measure the typical experience of a customer.

With independent testing, the public should be confident that:

• Vendors could not influence the selection of samples, but those are a fair representation of what a customer would typically receive
• The samples have been handled in a way that’s consistent with typical use, and have not received exceptional handling (no cold shipment, for example)
• Labs are not aware of the vendor, and therefore cannot be affected by a commercial bias
• Labs are provided large enough volumes that multiple samples of the same compound are tested in a batch, to provide additional signals to catch problems should they occur

The Finnrick approach is designed to publish results, with a fully-transparent sample collection and testing methodology, so the public can interpret data with full context.

Published test counts and product availability change as new results are published and new products are added. For the most current view, review the product listings.
