International peptide testing vs LabDoc (Australia)

Until recently, anyone in Australia who wanted independent peptide testing had to mail vials internationally. This page lays out what that costs and how long it takes, compared with LabDoc's Australian intake.

Verdict

Headline price favours international testing. Once postage, turnaround and AUD invoicing are counted, LabDoc is usually the practical choice from Australia. The analytical methods are identical; the difference is logistics.

Frequently asked questions

Are international results accepted in Australia?

Yes - analytical chemistry has no jurisdiction. LabDoc invoices in AUD, and its service is covered by Australian Consumer Law.

What if I already shipped overseas?

Use both - international for the sample you already sent, LabDoc for the next one. Cross-referencing two independent labs is the gold standard.
