Discussion: ILS Labs Can’t Fill Out a PDF, but Please "Trust the Science"

BTW ILS says on their website that they are ISO 17025 Accredited Laboratory

I read here and even AI tools said they are NOT! What's the truth?

@Randy

FWIW I messaged a couple of vendors that I liked in the past who used Vanguard but started using ILS that their COAs are not invoking trust due to ILS mess and "misleading" claims about ISO accreditation for peptide testing.

Hope is that research and Peptide Critic forum work as pressure groups to keep RUO space clean.

@RagnatLothbrok my current supply of Reta is ILS labs and its working great! This supply came from Welli.

[pep_researcher]

I contacted a vendor I really like and used Vanguard exclusively in the past, and then started using ILS.

They are under the impression that ILS is ISO certified for "peptide testing", so I pointed out to them what Randy said. Now they have gone on back foot, said they will look into this thoroughly.

FWIW they are a good vendor. ILS is grossly misleading the RUO market and busy vendors by saying ISO certified on the homepage without specifying for what.

I just had the same thing happen. Am working on starting a local peptide company and sent my initial batches of Tirz and Reta to ILS. Took over a month since they initially lost my vials, and today I got COAs saying my Tirz was 99.9% pure something that isn't Tirz, while my Reta is 100% but not Reta. But somehow the conformity vial of Reta is Reta albeit only 99.79% pure.

Needless to say I don't have a ton of confidence there wasn't a mixup along the way. I will try Freedom or Vanguard unless anyone has another recommendation.

@k3p13r trustpointe is great

@Randy thanks!

[pep_researcher]

@k3p13r If you're okay with it can you post those COAs here or send to @randy ?

Sounds like a pattern than one off glitch from ILS and unfortunately right now a LOT of vendors are testing at their "lab" (or whatever).

@pep_researcher Glad to send to Randy but I don't see a way to DM or other contact info. I get a free retest from ILS, going to try that and see if a third time is the charm.
