PacifiCOAnalytics
Vancouver lab with a published CAD price list, volume tiers and a public certificate library.
Before you send a sample
- Results are public by default, published with the vendor name and batch ID you provide. Ask for private testing at intake if you do not want that.
- Identity is confirmed spectroscopically (FTIR, Raman, UV-Vis, CE-UV) rather than by mass spectrometry, which is what most other entries here use.
- Sterility is not offered, and no accreditation is stated on the site.
- The heavy-metals result is a colorimetric screen rather than an ICP-MS quantitation.
An independent peptide testing laboratory in Vancouver, operated by PacifiCOAnalytics Inc., and the only entry in this directory west of Ontario. Purity is measured by HPLC-DAD and identity is confirmed by FTIR-ATR, CE-UV, Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopy, with bacterial endotoxin and a four-metal screen available on the same certificate. Prices are published in Canadian dollars with monthly volume tiers, the stated target is 72 hours from receipt, and every released certificate goes on a public record that anyone can search by report ID. It states that it does not sell peptides.

What the certificate carries
- Product name, lot and batch numbers as printed on the vial, submitter, dates received, tested and issued, and turnaround
- Identity against reference, purity as main-peak area percentage and optional net peptide content, each with a specification and a status
- Endotoxin in EU/mg and the four-metal screen with specification limits, on the full panel
- Every released certificate is on a public record that can be verified by report ID with no login
- A re-test is published alongside the original, both timestamped, rather than replacing it
What to send
- Typically 2 to 5 mg of lyophilized material for a basic COA; plan on about 5 to 10 mg in total, or a second aliquot, for the full panel.
- Label the vial and the packaging with the material identity, the sample mass and the portal submission ID. Unlabelled samples may be delayed or rejected.
- Unused material is held for 10 days after the report is issued, and tested material is not returned.
How submission works
- 1Create a submissionOpen a submission in the client portal to generate a submission ID.
- 2Label and shipLabel the vial and packaging, then ship. Samples from inside Canada go to the P.O. Box in Vancouver; samples from outside Canada go to the Hastings Street address.
- 3Intake and analysisThe sample is logged on arrival and analysed, with a stated target of 72 hours from receipt.
- 4Certificate releasedThe certificate is issued digitally and added to the public COA record.
Best for
A western Canadian sample, a quick answer (72 hours, or 24 business hours on rush), and a supplier testing every month who can use the volume tiers.
Shipping from Canada: Domestic for a Canadian sample, to a Vancouver P.O. Box. It also accepts samples from the United States, Europe and China.
PacifiCOAnalytics questions
How long does testing take?
Standard target is 72 hours from laboratory receipt. This is an estimate, not a guarantee - delays may occur due to equipment maintenance, sample condition, or volume.
Are COAs publicly accessible?
Yes. Every released certificate is on the public COA record and can be verified by report ID with no login. Private testing is available under Wholesale contracts or by written request at intake. Re-tests remain visible alongside originals.

Other labs to compare
Where this came from. Home, pricing, process, COA and contact pages read from pacificoanalytics.ca. The public certificate lookup was checked against the site's own record, which returned issued reports. The volume tiers match figures the Volta owner supplied on the same day. Last checked 2026-11-08. Prices and turnaround change without notice, so confirm directly with the laboratory before shipping a sample.
Volta Peptides has no commercial relationship with this laboratory and receives no referral fee. Listing is not endorsement.
