California is the world's largest biotech hub, and ACS Peptide Testing Labs serves the entire state, from San Diego's Torrey Pines corridor to San Francisco's Biotech Row. Ship overnight for HPLC purity testing, COA verification, and comprehensive molecular analysis.
California leads the nation in biotech and pharmaceutical research, with over 4,000 life sciences companies and world-renowned institutions including UCSF, Stanford, UCLA, Scripps Research, and the Salk Institute. ACS Peptide Testing Labs provides independent third-party testing for this massive research ecosystem. Samples reach us from Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, and Overnight shipping from anywhere in California, next business day delivery to our Florida lab. Researchers near UCSF and Stanford University use the same submission process: 100-500 µg of lyophilized peptide by FedEx or UPS overnight, RP-HPLC purity and LC-MS identity at our Florida lab, and a signed Certificate of Analysis in 9-11 business days. We also test samples arriving from Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Colorado.
Samples from Los Angeles and the rest of California are tested at our Sun City Center, Florida facility. Standard turnaround is 9-11 business days after arrival.
Overnight shipping from anywhere in California, next business day delivery to our Florida lab.

Most California submissions start with peptide purity testing by RP-HPLC at $150 per sample, then add LC-MS identity confirmation or third-party COA verification when a supplier certificate needs to be checked independently.
California sends us more samples than any state except Florida, and they cluster in three corridors: San Diego from Torrey Pines and Sorrento Valley, the Bay Area from South San Francisco, Emeryville and Palo Alto, and the Los Angeles basin from Westwood, Duarte and Irvine. All three have late FedEx and UPS air pickups, so a package handed over in the afternoon in San Diego or San Francisco is logged in Sun City Center the next business morning.
The academic and institutional work comes from UCSF, Stanford, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Davis, Scripps Research, the Salk Institute, City of Hope and Cedars-Sinai. Most of those submissions are identity and purity checks on custom-synthesised sequences before an in-vivo run, and they are sensitive to method detail, so we state the gradient, column and detection wavelength on the Certificate of Analysis rather than reporting a bare percentage.
The commercial side is different. California compounding pharmacies and telehealth suppliers send GLP-1 material - semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide - for independent verification, usually because a client or the California State Board of Pharmacy wants a certificate that did not come from the manufacturer. For those submissions we run purity by RP-HPLC, confirm molecular weight by LC-MS, and add net content when the label claims a specific milligram fill.
West Coast afternoon pickups still make next-business-day delivery to Florida.
Ground from California takes four to five days; use FedEx or UPS overnight for lyophilized material.
Custom-synthesis identity checks from academia, GLP-1 verification from pharmacies and suppliers.
HPLC purity testing starts at $150 per sample. Send this form and we reply with pricing and shipping instructions within one business day.
Mail-in samples from anywhere in the US reach our Sun City Center, Florida lab overnight. These are the areas researchers and compounding pharmacies request most, with HPLC purity from $150 and a 9-11 business day COA.
