~12-20 days
Lab states an average of ~96 hours with up to 21 days guaranteed. Sterility runs ~14 days, heavy metals ~20 days.
Accreditation
Methods aligned with ISO 17025 standards
Janoshik states its routine methods are validated and adhere to GLP, European Pharmacopoeia, and ISO standards (the lab's website references ISO 17025 / ISO 9001). We present this as method alignment because the lab does not appear in a public accreditation-body registry for these assays. Janoshik is a registered Czech company running pharma-grade instrumentation with disclosed methods and error margins, and in 2026 it is widely treated as the de-facto community standard for peptide and research compound testing.
Equipment & methods
Shimadzu UHPLC and Prominence HPLC systems (with redundancy); HPLC-UV for purity and quantity; LC-MS and GC-MS for identity and screening; high-field NMR and HR-LC-MS for novel-compound work; CHNS combustion analysis; XRF for heavy metals. Reagents and standards from J.T. Baker, Merck/Sigma-Aldrich, Alfa Aesar, EDQM, and Steraloids. Peptide purity is calculated by normalization at 220 / 280 nm; quantity by external-standard method against EU Pharmacopoeia reference standards.
Sample prep & shipping
UPS is the only shipping method accepted. Peptide and HGH lyophilizate in vials — send at least one whole unreconstituted vial for the test. Raw powders — 200 mg in a sealed plastic zip-lock or a glass container. Raw peptide (and HGH) powders — at least 30 mg in a sealed glass vial to prevent the sample from absorbing moisture. In case you choose any additional tests, please consider sending additional amounts of samples for these tests. Not sending the recommended amounts may impact the accuracy of your results. • GCMS and LCMS — no additional piece of sample is necessary. • Heavy metals analysis — 1 tab/cap, 1 ml of solution, 200 mg raw powder, 1 whole vial of lyophilizate. • Sterility testing — 2× whole unopened peptide vial, 2× unopened 1 ml ampoule, 1× unopened 10 ml vial; unopened pieces are needed to prevent contamination before testing. • Endotoxin analysis — 1 vial (2 recommended) or 1 ml (2 ml recommended). • CHNS mass report — no additional piece of sample is necessary. • Iodide/Chloride analysis — 1 tablet/capsule. • pH measurement — no additional piece of sample is necessary. • Fentanyl presence analysis — no additional piece of sample is necessary. • TFA analysis — no additional piece of sample is necessary.
