ISO 9001 Certified Laboratory

About Gold Standard Analytics

Gold Standard Analytics is an independent third-party analytical testing laboratory based in Houston, TX. We are ISO 9001 certified and GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) compliant, providing verifiable Certificates of Analysis for the supplement, peptide, cosmetics, and raw materials industries.

Our Mission

Independent Verification

We are not affiliated with any supplement brand, peptide vendor, or retailer. Our role is purely analytical — to test products objectively and report results accurately. This independence is what makes a Gold Standard Analytics COA meaningful to your customers.

Transparency Through Verification

Every COA we issue includes a unique accession number verifiable at goldstandardanalytics.com/coa-lookup. Your customers can confirm test results in real time — not just take your word for it. This is what builds lasting trust in the supplement and peptide market.
