Trying to find a legit lab that’s cheaper than Jano. Between his fee and shipping it’s over $400. Any other options?

Thank you and @Vicki … i’m just looking for testing for my own piece of mind.

Peptide Tests is the new kid on the block. They are able to perform much fewer tests on a much smaller group of compounds than Janoshik does. With that said, I've never heard anything negative about Peptide Tests even though I frequently see their results.
 
Vanguard is $50 cheaper but their results have come into question lately

I used Peptide Test for this same reason. My peps were going into longterm storage and I wanted to make sure they tested ok. I will test again when I am ready to start using them to confirm that the degradation was minimal.

I recall a thread a while back where someone was discussing the possibility of having peptides tested at state higher education institutions.

Peptide Testing With A Local University

Anyone here work with their local university for their testing needs? I am not sure how much it will cost but they appear to have a very reasonable hourly rate and from what I understand pharmaceuticals like acetaminophen and ibuprofen take about 15 minutes to analyze. If I can make it work it seems like it would be a very good option based on price and proximity.

Depends if the test is just for your own safety purposes or potentially dispute product quality to a vendor.

Most vendors go by Jano only for any complaints. As panda said, finding a local uni or similar is probably going to be a lot cheaper. Most testing companies charge in the same range as far as I know

Definitely don't use vanguard. They've been suspected of completely making things up sometimes.

I didn’t have a great experience with them. When I posted about it everyone bashed me. Now we’re to avoid them 🙄

When you used Peptide Test, did you put two separate test requests in the same parcel? I have a T10 and a T30 I want to test and I get that I’ll have to pay twice and get two separate order numbers but I’m cheap and only want to pay for shipping once

PepTest also loves to make exclusivity deals with manufacturers which make it impossible for others to sell the filters they recommend.

Why would manufacturers want to make exclusivity deals with Peptide Testing, which is a small place and doesn't seem to have sufficient sway with the marketplace to justify making such deals? The claim sounds far-fetched to me.

He bought out the supply of one specific size of one brand of filter. It was a bit of a cutthroat move but it's not like there aren't other filters available.

It was proven. I can't post a link due to peppys annoying rules, but the thread isn't hard to find, I think it got the most replies since they changed platforms.
 
The filter thing just seems like more of the already excessive peptide drama happening right now. They are $4 and mostly unnecessary for crying out loud.

Yeah it's absolutely true, I just don't find it that egregious. People buying them in small quantities can buy them from him at reasonable price ($0.20 more than you could get them before in bulk) and people wanting to buy bulk can buy from one of the other filter manufacturers.

It was a sleazy used car salesman move. Furthermore, it's a major conflict of interest that undermines credibility in his filtering studies.

And there are ALOT of shady people trying to turn a profit in this space. I don't think it's fair to write off concerns about that stuff as unnecessary drama. If we as a community are permissive of this type of behavior, we are only going to see more if it. And next time it likely won't be for a couple bucks.

Communities like this are at their best when we function as a check on those trying to take advantage of us for profit.

I think its because there were next to no buyers for 4mm filters until someone made videos recommending them. But its just a guess I made up.

Also the filters are labeled not for "Not for medical use" So I'm not even sure why we're using them anyway. Who's to say you're not adding something from the filter into your peps. I haven't seen any testing showing the filters don't have any residual nasties or microplastics you don't wanna inject either.
 
I’m a little confused about the relationship between Peptide Test and TrustPointe.

But I did notice yesterday that TruePointe’s results don’t have a date anywhere on the results.

TrustPointe is the name of the lab that does all the testing. They only accept samples from business accounts.

Peptide Test is a separate entity that manages all consumer test requests for TrustPointe as well as community advertising and outreach.

Is there a reason TP doesn’t have dates on their test results reports?

I'm not that familiar with the tp results as they aren't that common. But they are super responsive if you wanted to send them an email.
 
Looks like Jano managed to kick out his competition, Sabrina from the lab testing market.

I don't know if it was justified or not, but having less competition definitely hurts the consumers in the long run.
