Chromate
A published price against every compound, from US$120.
Before you send a sample
- No published turnaround window, no laboratory address and no named accreditation body. The site describes literature-based methodology and professional-grade equipment.
- Two price lists are merged above. The per-compound figures are published on the services page; the GFAAS, colorimetric screening, fentanyl, LC-MS impurity, pH, FTIR and comprehensive-package lines, and every volume discount, came from the Volta owner and are not on the public page. Confirm the owner-supplied ones when you order.
A US analytical laboratory serving the supplement and research community, and the most granular published price list in this directory: every peptide, research chemical and SARM it runs carries its own figure, and microbiology and variance testing are priced separately beside them. Chromate also runs a testing project that buys and tests products unannounced, publishing the results, funded from the proceeds of the commercial work.
Services and pricing
US$180 for most common peptides, US$240 to US$380 for less common ones.
Peptide analysis by HPLC, common compounds
US$180 per sampleQualitative and quantitative analysis by HPLC. At this price: BPC-157, TB-500 (both the 43-mer and the 17-23 fragment), CJC-1295 with and without DAC, ipamorelin, GHRP-2, GHRP-6, hGH fragment 176-191, AOD-9604, melanotan II, PT-141 and triptorelin.
Peptide analysis by HPLC, second tier
US$240 per sampleAdamax, DSIP, epithalon, GHK basic, GHK-Cu, gonadorelin, hexarelin, selank, semax, sermorelin, tesamorelin and thymosin alpha-1. Glutathione is the outlier on the peptide list at US$120.
GLP-1 and growth hormone analysis
US$300 per sample, US$380 for the newer agonistsSemaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide, liraglutide and hGH (191aa) at US$300; hGH with dimer at US$420; cagrilintide, mazdutide and survodutide at US$380.
Less common peptides
US$380 per sampleKisspeptin-10, KPV, melanotan I, MOTS-c and oxytocin.
Sterility test, USP <71>
US$240 per sampleQualitative assessment of aerobic and anaerobic microbes and yeast by membrane filtration and incubation, per USP <71>. Needs an additional vial.
Endotoxin count
US$240 per sampleQuantitative determination of lipopolysaccharides by kinetic chromogenic LAL, sensitive to 0.0001 ng of LPS, reported in endotoxin units.
Variance testing
US$50 per additional peptide vial, US$30 per additional capsule or tabletAdditional vials from the same batch run against the first, to expose vial-to-vial variance.
Research chemicals and SARMs
US$170–$300 per sampleSARMs at a flat US$170. Aromatase inhibitors, SERMs, PDE5 inhibitors, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and thyroid hormones at US$180. Tesofensine, SLU-PP-332 and 5-amino-1-MQ at US$300.
Supplement analysis
US$120–$300 per sampleCreatine, TUDCA and melatonin at US$120; EVOO biophenols at US$300, reported as total biophenol count in mg/kg by the IOOC method.
Heavy metals by GFAAS
US$180 per sampleTurnaround: 5 business days
Graphite furnace atomic absorption, quantitative, on its own sample.
Colorimetric heavy metal screening
US$60 per sampleA screen rather than a quantitation, and it runs on the same vial used for the HPLC work, so it costs no extra material.
Fentanyl screening
US$40 per sampleTested on the same vial used for HPLC. The cheapest line in this directory, and one almost no peptide laboratory offers at all.
Impurity characterisation by LC-MS
US$120 alongside HPLC analysis, US$180 standaloneQualitative analysis and impurity characterisation. Cheaper bought with the HPLC run than on its own.
pH testing
US$60pH of the reconstituted or supplied solution.
FTIR
US$240Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy for chemical property confirmation.
Comprehensive testing package
US$650HPLC analysis, sterility assessment, endotoxin count and heavy metal screening in one order. The volume discounts below do not apply to this package.
Volume and discounts
- US$50 off per additional vial from the same batch (variance analysis)
- 33% off additional batches of the same compound, for example BPC-157 5mg and 10mg submitted together
- 10% off orders of US$1,200 or more
- 15% off orders of US$5,000 or more
- None of the above apply to the comprehensive testing package
Methods
- Qualitative and quantitative analysis by HPLC, which is the default for everything unless stated otherwise
- Membrane filtration and incubation for sterility, USP <1223> BacT/ALERT, equivalent to USP <71>
- Kinetic chromogenic LAL for endotoxin on FDA-certified Endosafe, sensitive to 0.0001 ng of LPS
- GFAAS for quantitative heavy metals, with a colorimetric screen as the cheap alternative
- LC-MS for impurity characterisation, and FTIR for chemical property confirmation
What to send
- Peptide vials: at least one vial for HPLC, and an additional vial for each microbiology test.
- Powders: 200 to 1000 mg in a small bag or a 2 mL autosampler vial.
- Liquids: 0.5 to 1 mL in a small vial.
- Capsules or tablets: a few, in a bag or container.
- Seal the container, label it with the name and batch number, and put a slip of paper with your email inside so the order can be identified.
How submission works
- 1Contact to orderTests are selected and ordered by email rather than through a shop checkout.
- 2Ship to the US laboratoryThe shipping address is released after payment. The site recommends FedEx or UPS and notes that USPS first-class in a padded envelope is the cheapest but least reliable option.
- 3Results in the Verify portalResults are published to the Verify portal linked at the top of the site.
Best for
Buying exactly one test rather than a bundle, checking a compound most peptide laboratories do not list, and comparing a peptide result against the same laboratory's supplement work.
Shipping from Canada: International. A Canadian sample crosses the border into the United States.

Where this came from. Home, about, services, project, contact and terms pages read from chromate.org. The per-compound peptide, research-chemical, SARM, supplement, sterility, endotoxin and variance prices are published on the services page. The GFAAS, colorimetric, fentanyl, LC-MS, pH, FTIR and comprehensive-package prices, and the four volume discounts, were supplied by the Volta owner on 2026-09-12 and are not on the public page. Last checked 2026-09-11. Prices and turnaround change without notice, so confirm directly with the laboratory before shipping a sample.
