Optiq Health Labs provides independent heavy metals testing for research peptides using advanced ICPMS technology. Our laboratory detects trace elemental contaminants to help support product quality, manufacturing consistency, and greater confidence in peptide testing results.
At Optiq Health Labs, we use advanced Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS) technology to detect and quantify trace heavy metals with exceptional sensitivity and accuracy. ICPMS is considered the gold standard for elemental analysis, allowing us to identify contaminants at extremely low concentrations and provide reliable, data-driven results. Metals can originate from manufacturing equipment, catalysts, reactors, stainless steel, glassware, or synthesis processes.

How much does LC-MS peptide purity testing cost and how long does it take?
Purity testing is one of the most important analytical procedures used in peptide quality assessment. Even when a product is labeled as a specific peptide, manufacturing processes, handling conditions, storage environments, and degradation over time can introduce additional compounds that are not part of the intended material.
At Optiq Health Labs, we use advanced Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) methods to evaluate peptide purity with a high level of precision and consistency. LC-MS technology separates the individual components within a sample while simultaneously confirming molecular identity through mass analysis.
This process allows our laboratory to:
Liquid Chromatography (LC) separates the individual compounds within a sample. Mass Spectrometry (MS) then identifies and analyzes those compounds by measuring their molecular mass and structure.
We utilize Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry to separate compounds within the sample and identify the molecular mass of detectable components.
Testing helps determine the relative percentage of the intended peptide compared to other detectable substances present in the sample.
Mass spectrometry helps verify that the detected primary compound aligns with the expected molecular profile of the target peptide.
Analysis may reveal manufacturing impurities, degradation compounds, residual byproducts, or other detectable materials within the sample.

We use Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), an industry-leading analytical technique known for highly sensitive elemental analysis.
Yes. Standard purity and identity testing may not detect trace metal contamination, which is why heavy metal screening provides an additional layer of quality evaluation.
Trace metals may originate from manufacturing equipment, catalysts, reactors, synthesis chemicals, stainless steel contact surfaces, or laboratory glassware.
