It’s common practice in the industry to work with multiple testing labs, and this approach supports transparency and accuracy. In this instance, Purilabs offered the site administrator a free blind test with a lab of his choice to demonstrate credibility, but he declined and proceeded to post critical remarks after I questioned his assertion that our lab partner was “questionable at best.” Furthermore, criticism regarding our website’s user-friendliness was cited as a reason for denying our vendor listing, which I believe is unrelated to product quality or verification.
For additional context, Lost Coast Aminos documented on social media that they submitted three of their peptides to Purilabs for testing, having previously verified these with another trusted lab. The results from Purilabs were consistent with their past lab's findings, reinforcing the reliability of the testing process.
Using more than one lab and maintaining selective publishing standards—such as only sharing Purilabs results when they align with the COAs from our vendors—are practices intended to ensure quality, not to appear misleading. Notably, the owner of Lost Coast Aminos has also stated an intention to migrate all their testing to Purilabs once necessary references are in place. https://www.tiktok.com/@lostcoastaminos4/video/7698086457130437901?_r=1&_t=ZP-9AfmL56cnMt

We only published our Purilabs COA's when the results matched up to our vendors COA's which we also let the site admin know before he posted the above comment...

You applied to Peptide Critic and somehow skipped the “Critic” part. We investigate vendors, scrutinize COAs and commission independent testing. A little homework would have saved you the surprise. We are glad you skipped it.
“Selective publishing standards” is doing some impressive heavy lifting here. You’ve now said twice that you only publish Purilab results when they match your supplier’s COAs. Your supplier’s COA isn’t an answer key.
Have you received any results that didn’t match? If so, what happened to those reports and those batches? Were the products held, rejected or sent to another lab? Would customers see the original result alongside any retest?
And why send products to Purilab when you already use Freedom?
Telling a site that investigates testing practices that you selectively publish test results is certainly an introduction.

Our initial decision to utilize Purilab was made with the intention of supporting another emerging small business. However, all of our Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are now conducted exclusively by Freedom Diagnostics. Every peptide in our inventory consistently tests at 99.5% purity or higher.
While we welcome constructive criticism, the caustic and vitriolic tone of your recent commentary was entirely unwarranted and unprofessional. You originally declined our listing request by citing website navigation and aesthetic preferences—subjective metrics that are not stated anywhere in your listing criteria. We are continuously working to improve our user experience while strictly adhering to compliance standards, and a simple request to be listed does not justify such hostility.
Given that we have fully transitioned our testing to Freedom Diagnostics and severed ties with Purilab, we expect you to promptly remove the damaging warning regarding SF Bay Area Peptides from your site.

SF Bay Area Peptides@justinlaughlin Justin, switching labs doesn’t answer what we asked three weeks ago. You said you only published results that matched your supplier’s COAs. Did any disagree? What happened to those reports and batches? Is that still your policy?
And where are the batch-specific endotoxin and sterility reports? Its 2026. Why would anyone buy from you when we know of dozens of vendors that do more testing than you? Your published testing covers identity, mass and purity. Repeating “99.5% purity” (freedoms specialty) doesn’t answer either of those questions.
As for Max, I accepted when he offered blind testing. He then insisted I tell him what I was sending, so I didn’t bother.
And yes, I find your animated background hard to look at. You’re allowed to choose that design, and I’m allowed to dislike it. And you are listed. Just not how you would like.
The warning is accurate and based on your own statements; calling it “damaging” doesn’t make it false.
You’ve written plenty about my tone. The questions about your testing are still sitting there.
I did update the warning but I can't erase the past.
