Testing Services โ€” Frequently Asked Questions

What testing services does Cert Biohealth Labs offer?

We offer seven core testing service lines: HPLC purity testing, ESI mass spectrometry identity confirmation, LAL endotoxin testing, ICP-MS heavy metal screening, GC-MS residual solvent analysis, ICH Q1A stability studies, and custom method development. Services can be bundled into comprehensive testing panels.

How do I choose the right testing service?

For most research applications, HPLC purity + mass spectrometry identity confirmation provides a complete quality picture. For compounding pharmacies, add endotoxin and heavy metal testing. Contact us for a free consultation โ€” we'll help you select the appropriate panel for your needs and regulatory context.

Do you offer bundled testing packages?

Yes. Our most popular bundles include: Basic (HPLC + MS), Advanced (HPLC + MS + Endotoxin), and Comprehensive (all of the above + ICP-MS + GC-MS). Contact us for bundle pricing, which typically saves 15โ€“25% compared to individual tests.

What is your turnaround time?

Standard turnaround is 9โ€“11 business days from receipt of your sample for HPLC and mass spectrometry. Endotoxin testing is typically 3โ€“5 business days. Express 2โ€“3 day service is available for HPLC purity and MS at an additional charge.

Do you test GLP-1 peptides like semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Yes. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are among our most frequently tested compounds. We have validated HPLC and MS methods for these and other GLP-1 agonists including retatrutide and cagrilintide.

How much does peptide testing cost?

HPLC purity testing starts at $150 CAD per sample. Comprehensive multi-panel testing (purity + identity + endotoxin + contaminants) is typically $800โ€“$1,200 CAD per sample. Volume discounts apply for 5+ samples. Contact us for a custom quote.

Do you provide Certificates of Analysis?

Yes. Every service includes a formal Certificate of Analysis (COA) with analytical parameters, method references, acceptance criteria, and authorized signatory. All raw data (chromatograms, spectra) is accessible via your secure client portal.
