If you want a peptide independently tested in Australia, you have three real options: send it overseas (typically Janoshik in the Czech Republic), submit it to LabDoc for testing through its independent Australian partner laboratory, or rely on the CoA the vendor provides. Each has a cost, a turnaround time, and a trust profile. Here's the unvarnished comparison.
Submit one or more vials to LabDoc's Australian intake address. Every sample is run by an independent Australian partner laboratory for LC-MS identity and HPLC purity (peptide content quantitation included on request). The full CoA, with the original chromatogram preserved, is published to a public verification URL you can share or embed on a vendor's site. Endotoxin and contaminants are optional add-ons per vial. See current pricing.
Janoshik is the long-running independent testing service most of the global peptide community used before local options existed. Quality of the underlying analysis is good. The catch is logistics: international shipping from Australia takes 1-2 weeks each way, customs occasionally holds vials, and the round-trip is realistically 3-5 weeks. Per-test cost is similar but FX and shipping bring the all-in number above LabDoc once you're past one or two vials.
Many AU vendors ship a Certificate of Analysis with each order. A genuine third-party CoA tied to your batch number is meaningful data. A re-used PDF, an image-only "CoA" with no chromatogram, or a CoA from a lab that doesn't exist online is not. Read how to read a peptide CoA before relying on one.
| Factor | LabDoc | Janoshik (overseas) | Vendor CoA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per-vial cost (1 vial) | A$549 | ~A$110-150 all-in | Included |
| Per-vial cost (2+ vials) | A$549 each - no volume discount | ~A$95-130 all-in | Included |
| Turnaround | 3-7 business days | 3-5 weeks | Immediate |
| Identity (LC-MS) | Yes | Yes | Sometimes |
| Purity (HPLC + chromatogram) | Yes | Yes | Sometimes |
| Tied to your specific batch | Yes | Yes | Should be, verify |
| Public verification URL | Yes | Yes | Vendor-controlled |
| Customs risk | Domestic post | International border | n/a |
LabDoc is the only Australian-based independent peptide testing aggregator publishing every result publicly. We follow a documented three-test methodology (LC-MS identity, HPLC purity, quantitative HPLC content), coordinate analysis through an independent Australian partner laboratory, and preserve the original chromatograms on every certificate.
