Modern Aminos
USModern Aminos is a US-facing research-peptide vendor whose Quality Assurance Program advertises third-party, multi-vial batch testing with per-vial QR-code links to batch Certificates of Analysis.
Verified 9/10 of 10 criteria · checked 2026-07-27
Modern Aminos publishes batch-level CoAs accessed through a QR code on each vial and states that products are tested by HPLC with mass spectrometry, with additional microbial and bacterial-endotoxin testing (via Trustpointe Analytics) for blends and solutions. The site is Cloudflare-blocked, so the CoAs themselves could not be inspected; verification relies on vendor-hosted QR links rather than an independent lab-source portal, and the analytical lab named on the purity CoA could not be confirmed. Independent testing by Finnrick recorded a severe Retatrutide identity failure among five samples alongside later high-purity passes, and no public recall or complaints policy was found.
Criterion-by-criterion evidence
Every score below is a recorded, dated observation. Where we could not verify a claim, the criterion is marked Unverified and excluded from the score (but it still counts against coverage).
| Criterion | Wt | Finding | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Publishes CoAsThe vendor publishes at least one certificate of analysis (CoA) on its own website. | 3 | ✔ Yes | Vendor site is Cloudflare-blocked (403), but archived homepage and quoted QA-program text confirm it publishes batch Certificates of Analysis accessed via a per-vial QR code. Source · 2026-07-27 |
| Batch-level CoAsCoAs are tied to a specific batch/lot number, not a single generic certificate per product. | 3 | ✔ Yes | QA program assigns each vial a unique batch number and scannable QR code linking to that batch's CoA; buyers are told to match the vial batch number to the CoA. Not one generic cert per product. Source · 2026-07-27 |
| Third-party lab namedThe name of the laboratory that ran the analysis appears on the CoA. | 2 | ◐ Partial | Marketed as 'third-party, multi-vial batch tested' and names Trustpointe Analytics for microbial testing, but the analytical lab on the purity CoA could not be confirmed (site blocked; Finnrick gates the lab name). Source · 2026-07-27 |
| Independent / accredited labThe lab is independent of the vendor and/or accredited (ISO 17025), or is a recognised independent peptide lab (e.g. Janoshik, MZ Biolabs). | 2 | ◐ Partial | Trustpointe Analytics is a recognized independent US peptide/CRO lab, but its role on the purity CoA and any ISO 17025 accreditation could not be verified; no accreditation claim was seen. Source · 2026-07-27 |
| CoA verifiable at sourceThe CoA can be authenticated on the laboratory's own website (e.g. a verification code) — actually tested, not just claimed. | 2 | ✘ No | Verification is a vendor-hosted QR code linking to a CoA on modernaminos.com, not an independent lab-source portal (e.g. verify.janoshik.com). No lab-side authentication mechanism was identified. Source · 2026-07-27 |
| Identity + purity methodsWhich analytical methods are identifiable on the published CoAs. | 2 | ? Unverified HPLC + MS | QA page states purity by HPLC with Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) used to confirm molecular mass/identity; corroborated across multiple third-party summaries of the page. Source · 2026-07-27 |
| Freshness of the latest CoADate of the most recent CoA visible on the site. | 2 | ? Unverified | Could not load the vendor's actual CoAs to read dates (site Cloudflare-blocked). Finnrick's independent testing of Modern Aminos Retatrutide runs through 6 Mar 2026, indicating active batch cadence, but vendor CoA dates are unconfirmed. Source · 2026-07-27 |
| CoAs accessible before purchase, no accountCoAs can be viewed without a customer account or a prior purchase. | 2 | ◐ Partial | The QA program page is public, but batch CoAs are primarily reached by scanning the QR on a purchased vial; Finnrick notes a 'gated WooCommerce rebuild,' so open pre-purchase CoA browsing could not be confirmed. Source · 2026-07-27 |
| Sterility / endotoxin data publishedSterility or endotoxin (LAL) results are published in addition to purity. | 1 | ◐ Partial | QA program claims bacterial endotoxin testing plus microbial (bacteria/yeast/mold) testing via Trustpointe for blends and pre-mixed solutions, but no actual CoA showing sterility/endotoxin data could be viewed. Source · 2026-07-27 |
| Public complaints / recall handlingA public recall/complaint policy, or documented handling of a disputed batch. | 1 | ✘ No | No public recall/complaints policy found. Finnrick documents a severe Retatrutide identity FAILURE (batch 9 Jul 2025) among 5 samples with a low/tentative rating, plus anti-chargeback terms and a Wyoming registered-agent shell structure in its vendor-intelligence report; Trustpilot shows underdosed/fake complaints. No FDA warning letter found. Source · 2026-07-27 |
