ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation: Claimed

What sets Vanguard Laboratory apart

  • ✓A2LA-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 with documented Certificate 6377.01 — the most-tested ISO-accredited lab in Peptigrity's index, and the only one with documented additional state-level accreditations from the Washington Department of Health and Department of Ecology. Results from A2LA-accredited labs are accepted as meeting the international testing-laboratory competence standard used by FDA, EMA, and courts.
  • ✓HPLC methods validated to USP <1225>, endotoxin to USP <85>, sterility to USP <61> and <71> — methods are documented against United States Pharmacopeia compendial chapters, rare in the peptide-testing market.
  • ✓Broad analytical capability beyond HPLC — HPLC-MS/MS for tandem mass spectrometry identity confirmation, ICP-MS for heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb), UV-Vis for peptide content quantification, plus GC-FID, GC-MS, NMR, and NIR. The widest documented analytical menu of any lab in the index.
  • ✓"Verified by Vanguard" certification program — a branded multi-tier verification protocol with live CoA delivery via secure link, generating timestamped reports that cannot be altered after issuance.
  • ✓5–8 business day turnaround for standard testing, documented on the lab's website.
Honest disclosures
  • Sterility testing per USP <71> carries a 15-day minimum turnaround — the most rigorous test category takes longer than typical purity work.
  • Accreditation — see the note above.
  • The lab serves a broad client base across peptides, supplements, food, water, and topicals — not exclusively peptides.

wider panel means a preliminary report first and the final a week or so later, and it is the same link both times. that saves me replacing links in my notes. 8 business days on this batch. only thing i would change is putting the final date in my calendar instead of refreshing. price is the part i notice. the report itself was clear

ran the elite panel on a tirz vial from a vendor i hadnt used before. cost was 700 which is a lot for one vial but i wanted more than a purity number. prelim with purity and id came in 5 business days, then the final with sterility and endotoxin at day 14. same report link, it just updates. 98.6 percent, 10.1 mg, sterile, endotoxin under the limit. if youre checking a new source before you use it, this is the panel id do again

First lab test ever. Panicked when the first report said 'pending' on two lines. Emailed, they explained those were the sterility/endotoxin still incubating and the final would replace it. It did, day 9. Sema 99.0%. Appreciate them not making me feel dumb.
