# ACS Peptide Testing Labs

> Peptide analytical testing from ACS Laboratory, now part of Smithers, for researchers, pharmacies and businesses. Samples are analyzed at a single laboratory in Sun City Center, Florida.

Updated: 2026-10-21.

ACS Laboratory is now part of Smithers, a global testing and scientific services organization founded in 1925.

Testing capacity: 103 peptides. 5–7 business days from sample receipt for eligible routine testing. Complex panels, custom methods and stability studies have separately confirmed timelines.

Contact: (561) 513-8435; cpierre@acslabtest.com.

Accredited by A2LA to ISO/IEC 17025:2017. Laboratory accreditation is limited to the current certificate scope. Peptide HPLC and LC-MS coverage has not been confirmed; do not assume a peptide test is accredited.

DEA Registered Laboratory #RA0571996.

HPLC purity testing from $150 per sample. Other tests are quoted by scope. Sample quantity and handling depend on the selected methods and sample format. Obtain written requirements from the laboratory before shipping; there is no single minimum for all tests.

ACS does not sell peptides or provide clinical diagnosis, treatment or dosing advice. B2B research and pharmacy testing only.
