three samples went in together. One finished fast and the other two came several days later, mixed timeline but usable results.

The lab got the job done and the batch pricing was good. The turnaround was a bit inconsistent though. | I sent three samples together, got the first result in about a week and the other two a few days later. They responded when I reached out but there weren't really any updates before that.

The results were fine in the end but the turnaround was the weak point. It took around two and a half weeks from received to complete and I had to reach out for an updated completion date. That said, the pricing was still better than most of the other quotes I received, so the value was good overall.

About ILS Laboratories

ILS Laboratories (ILS Labs Inc.) is an analytical laboratory at 8222 Vickers St, Suite 106, San Diego, California, serving supplement, cosmetic, peptide and raw-material clients. Its website lists HPLC/UPLC for purity and quantitation, LC-MS and GC-MS for identification, ICP-MS for heavy metals, endotoxin testing per USP <85> and a DNA-microarray rapid sterility screen. Its peptide panels confirm identity by HPLC retention time. It states that most standard work is completed in about one week from sample receipt, with paid rush reporting in three business days. ILS describes itself as ISO/IEC 17025 accredited for activities within its accredited scope, but does not name the accrediting body or publish a certificate number or scope document, so Peptigrity lists the accreditation as claimed rather than verified.

  • ISO/IEC 17025: Stated by the lab. Peptigrity hasn't checked the scope against peptide methods.
