Independent testing
Test locally. Earn trust visibly.
Pepty coordinates product-specific testing through appropriately accredited Philippine laboratories, including DOST or UP facilities where appropriate and within scope, covering identity, strength, purity, sterility, endotoxins, stability, and other applicable quality attributes.
Scope of review
What independent testing can include.
The exact panel is defined per product. These are the categories a testing plan may cover, depending on the formulation, route of administration, and applicable requirements.
Identity & strength
Confirming that a product is what its documentation says it is, at the stated strength, the starting point for every batch review.
Purity & impurities
Screening for related substances and other impurities, with methods chosen for the specific formulation.
Sterility
Where a product is intended for sterile use, sterility testing matched to the formulation and route of administration.
Bacterial endotoxins
Endotoxin testing where the formulation, route of administration, and applicable requirements call for it.
Stability
How a product performs over time under defined storage conditions, informing handling and shelf-life decisions.
Other applicable quality attributes
Appearance, pH, particulate matter, and additional attributes, depending on the formulation, route of administration, and applicable requirements.
Product-specific by design
Testing depends on the product.
There is no single panel that fits every peptide. A topical formulation and a product intended for sterile use carry different risk profiles, and the testing plan has to reflect that. Where appropriate, methods are selected for the specific molecule, its formulation, and how it will be administered.
Pepty defines a product-specific testing plan before any batch is released, and products remain quarantined until the required documentation and testing have been reviewed. Where a test is not applicable, that is documented, not skipped silently.
What determines scope
- Formulation. The ingredients, form, and concentration of the product shape which analyses are meaningful.
- Route of administration. How a product is used determines whether attributes like sterility and endotoxins apply.
- Applicable requirements. Regulatory and pharmacopeial requirements set the floor for what must be verified.
Batch-level verification
Every batch has a paper trail.
Verification happens at the level of the batch, not the brand. For each batch, batch records and certificates of analysis are reviewed against the product's testing plan before release: identity, strength, purity, and the other applicable quality attributes for that product.
Traceability means being able to follow a batch in principle from source, through testing and storage, to the point of care, and to act on that record if something needs to be investigated or recalled. It is part of thePepty Platinum Standard, not an extra.
Important distinction
Testing is not registration.
Laboratory testing verifies what a product is. It does not register, approve, or authorize a product for any use. Regulatory requirements remain separate, and are reviewed as their own gate under the Platinum Standard.
Read: Testing vs. registration →Frequently asked questions
Who performs the testing?
Testing is performed by independent, appropriately accredited Philippine laboratories, including DOST or UP facilities where appropriate and within scope. Pepty coordinates a product-specific testing plan for each product; the laboratories themselves remain independent of the supply chain they test.
Does independent testing make a product legal or approved?
No. Laboratory testing verifies what a product is: its identity, strength, purity, and other applicable quality attributes. It does not register, approve, or authorize a product for any use. Regulatory requirements remain separate and are reviewed as their own gate under the Platinum Standard.
Can operators see batch documentation?
Partners can review relevant batch records and certificates of analysis as part of the program, within the scope of each batch review. Traceability (knowing which batch went where, and how it was handled) is a core part of the infrastructure Pepty builds.
