Prices are per sample in USD. ECA prices are from the ECA catalog. Freedom Diagnostics purity, identification, net peptide content, endotoxin and sterility prices were checked against their Peptide Purity Testing Intake Form on October 8, 2026. On their Peptide Purity Testing Intake Form, Purity and Identification is 200 dollars and Net Peptide Content is 25 dollars when bundled, giving the 225 dollar figure above. ECA Basic Bundle includes measured quantity, but NPC (Net Peptide Content) is a separate $50 add-on, bringing Basic plus NPC to $270. The scopes are not identical. Their endotoxin and sterility tests require an additional vial. Confirm current pricing with each lab before ordering.
