Every result is verifiable.

Each COA carries a unique ID and a SHA-256 fingerprint. Enter a certificate ID to confirm it was issued by this lab — or drop the PDF you received to cryptographically prove it hasn't been altered. Lookups run against the same records the QR codes resolve to.

What we test

Quantitative analysis, built for what you actually sell.

Identity confirmation and purity quantification, run against certified reference standards and reported with the numbers behind them.

01

Peptide identity & purity

Confirm the compound and measure how much is actually present, by HPLC with diode-array detection.

  • Identity vs. reference standard
  • % purity + impurity profile
  • Single or multi-analyte panels
02

Alkaloid quantification

Validated quantitative methods for plant alkaloids and converted actives, reported as mass and percent.

  • Active mg per unit
  • Multi-compound separation
  • Batch-to-batch consistency
03

Method development

Need something off-menu? We'll develop and validate a method for a new compound or matrix.

  • New analyte work-up
  • SOP + validation package
  • Reproducible, documented runs
One vial, one certificate

Numbers you can stand behind.

Every result is generated under written SOPs on calibrated instrumentation — so a certificate means the same thing every time.

Illustration: a single 2 mL HPLC vial with a blue cap on a white surface, with a chromatogram trace rising into one sharp peak behind it.
One vial in, one certificate out. Every sample gets its own injection, its own chromatogram, and its own sealed certificate. Illustration.

Bacterial endotoxin testing, reported the same way.

Kinetic chromogenic LAL (USP <85>), run in-house on a cartridge reader and reported in endotoxin units per mL, with the positive product control and reaction-time precision printed on its own certificate, in the same sealed, publicly verifiable format as every KMD certificate.

$150 per vial, flat — no volume discount — added to any vial on your order with one check box under Tests. Orders are open now; vials run in the first batch the week the reader is installed, then 5–7 business days from receipt. For now, ship a second unopened vial of the same lot for the endotoxin test; liquids such as bacteriostatic water are tested from the same vial. It is not a sterility test.

From sample to certificate in three steps.

STEP 01

Order & ship

Order online — pick your compounds and turnaround, and pay your secure invoice. We email shipping instructions right away; you mail the vials.

STEP 02

We test

Your samples are prepped and run under the validated method for that analyte, against reference standards.

STEP 03

Verifiable COA

You receive a signed certificate with the data, a unique ID, and a QR code your customers can verify. See a sample →

Frequently asked questions

Do you sell peptides?

No. KMD Analytical is an independent, third-party testing lab only — we don't sell peptides, so we have no incentive to report anything but what the instrument measured.

What do you test on each peptide?

Three numbers on every sample: identity (against a certified reference standard), chromatographic purity (area %), and net-peptide assay — the actual milligrams of peptide per vial, which most testing skips. More on purity vs. net-peptide content.

Do you run LC-MS / mass spec, sterility, or heavy-metals testing?

No. We're an RP-HPLC-UV lab and we say so plainly. We do not run mass-spec confirmation, sterility, or heavy-metals testing. The one addition is bacterial endotoxin (USP <85>, kinetic chromogenic LAL), run in-house as a $150 per-vial add-on and reported on its own certificate — it is not a sterility test. If your job needs a capability we don't have, we'll tell you and point you to a lab that does.

How long does testing take?

Standard turnaround is typically 5–7 business days from when your sample arrives at our lab, with 7 business days as the maximum. Rush (+100%) is the next business day: vials received by 12:00 PT, certificate by the end of the next business day, on orders up to 4 vials. Larger rush batches are quoted by arrangement. Turnaround is measured from receipt — shipping is separate.

How much does it cost?

Per-sample pricing is $150, dropping to $125 at 5+ samples and $100 at 10+. See full pricing. Every result is issued as a certificate anyone can verify.

Can I trust the certificate you issue?

Every COA carries a QR code and a SHA-256 hash — a fingerprint of the exact PDF. Anyone can drop the file into our verifier to confirm KMD issued it and that not a single character has been altered. See a sample COA.

Can I send samples from outside the United States?

Yes — by express courier (FedEx, UPS or DHL Express), not by post: since 24 July 2026 every postal parcel entering the US needs its own customs entry and bond, while a courier's brokerage files the entry. Address the box to KMD Group LLC dba KMD Analytical as a laboratory sample for analytical testing, ship sealed vials at room temperature, and ask for our customs declaration and letter of purpose if useful. Transit and customs time are on top of turnaround. Full steps are on the submission page.

What do I declare on the customs paperwork?

One line per vial on the commercial invoice: "Synthetic peptide, lyophilized powder, X mg, sealed glass vial — laboratory sample for analytical testing only, not for resale, not for human or animal use, non-hazardous." Declare a realistic replacement value for each vial — never zero, and never "no commercial value" on its own — and select duties and taxes billed to the shipper. On request we supply a customs declaration and letter of purpose on our letterhead; it is an accommodation, not a guarantee of clearance.

Do you charge VAT or GST, and what currency do I pay in?

All prices are in US dollars (USD). Your card issuer converts at its own rate and may add a foreign-transaction fee. We do not add VAT or GST to invoices — the service is performed in California. Business customers can have their tax ID printed on the invoice on request. Any US duty, brokerage or carrier fee on an inbound parcel is the shipper's.
