What's tested
Every standard test covers identity, purity and net content. Endotoxin and heavy metals can be added.
Mass spectrometry confirms the sample is what it's labelled as.
HPLC measures how much of the sample is the target compound.
Shows how much is actually in the vial compared with the label.
A bacterial endotoxin (LAL) test on a second vial of the same sample.
Heavy metals and an elemental screen by ICP-MS.
Each compound in a blend is identified and quantified.

QR-verified certificates of analysis
Every certificate has a unique test number and QR code. Scanning it opens the record for that exact sample on qldanalytical.com, so anyone can check the result matches the certificate. Results are published whether they pass or fail, unless you ask us to keep yours private when you order.
Results apply only to the sample tested and are provided for information purposes.
