Price list
29 determinations and 4 cumulative panels, priced in US dollars. A catalogue peptide analysis is 341, covering LC-MS identity with deconvolution and RP-HPLC purity at 214 nm. Panels run from 341 to 1730.
Every line states the method behind it and what the determination actually buys, because two laboratories can quote the same determination at the same price and measure different things. Identity from measured mass rather than retention time, elemental impurities at parts per billion rather than parts per million, and a sterility line that means the fourteen-day compendial test rather than a microbial count.

| Quoted per | Determination and matrix |
Prices are per determination and per matrix. Quotations are issued per panel; blends are quoted per component, because each component needs its own reference standard, its own identity confirmation and its own quantitation.
Panels are cumulative: each contains the one before it, because a safety figure on material of unverified identity is not worth reporting. A panel costs less than its components ordered separately because receipt, preparation and reporting happen once, and both figures are shown.
| Panel | Contains | Components | Panel price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identity and purity | LC-MS identity, theoretical and measured mass. RP-HPLC purity at 214 nm with chromatogram. Condition on receipt, photographed. | 341 | 341 |
| Content | Everything in identity and purity. Net peptide content by combustion analysis. Water content by Karl Fischer. Closed mass balance on the certificate. | 569 | 525 |
| Parenteral safety | Everything in content. Bacterial endotoxins with spike recovery and dilution factor. Microbial enumeration, USP <61>, reported in CFU. pH of the reconstituted solution. | 1115 | 1025 |
| Full characterisation | Everything in parenteral safety. Elemental impurities by ICP-MS against ICH Q3D. Residual solvents by headspace GC-MS. Sterility, USP <71>, where the product claims it. | 1890 | 1730 |
Identity is established from measured mass, not from a retention-time match alone. Purity is area normalisation of the ultraviolet trace at 214 nm, where the peptide bond absorbs, and it describes the chromatographable fraction only.
| Determination | Method and what it buys | USD |
|---|---|---|
| Peptide analysis, catalogue compound | LC-MS identity with deconvolution, RP-HPLC purity at 214 nm Theoretical and measured monoisotopic mass with the difference in daltons, alongside a chromatogram with every integrated peak above the reporting threshold. | 341 |
| Peptide analysis, specialist compound | LC-MS identity with deconvolution, RP-HPLC purity at 214 nm Compounds where a certified reference standard has to be sourced or a gradient developed before the determination can run at all. | 590 |
| Blind identification, GLP-1 class | LC-MS against a panel of class standards The submitted vial is not declared. Each candidate in the panel is excluded or confirmed on mass, because a retention-time match against a single standard cannot distinguish close analogues. | 468 |
| Growth hormone, content, purity and dimer | RP-HPLC purity, size exclusion for dimer and higher aggregate A dimer is chemically still growth hormone, so purity does not register it. Aggregate is quantified as a separate determination by size. | 650 |
| Blend, per additional component | Component-resolved LC-MS identity and quantitation Every component in a blend needs its own reference standard, its own identity confirmation and its own quantitation. A blend is not one determination. | 179 |
A purity percentage is not a mass. These determinations convert the percentage into milligrams by accounting for what the ultraviolet trace never sees: counter-ion, water and non-peptide residue.
| Determination | Method and what it buys | USD |
|---|---|---|
| Net peptide content | Combustion elemental analysis, nitrogen to peptide conversion The figure that turns 99 percent purity into an actual milligram delivered. Material at high chromatographic purity commonly carries 70 to 85 percent peptide by mass. | 156 |
| Water content | Coulometric Karl Fischer, USP <921> Residual and adsorbed water in a lyophilised cake, typically 5 to 15 percent of delivered mass. It absorbs nothing at 214 nm and appears in no purity figure. | 72 |
| Trifluoroacetate counter-ion | Ion chromatography, or LC-MS in negative mode Trifluoroacetate from preparative purification accounts for 10 to 25 percent of the delivered mass of a synthetic peptide and is invisible to every ultraviolet method. | 312 |
| Amino acid analysis | Acid hydrolysis with quantitation of recovered residues Slower and more precise than combustion, and independent of it. Ordered where a content result is disputed or where the sequence itself is in question. | 338 |
Non-steroidal small molecules, most of them a single enantiomer. Nothing from the peptide price list transfers: there is no counter-ion to determine and no net peptide content to measure, and the determination that decides whether the material is what it claims to be is the one that separates a molecule from its mirror image.
| Determination | Method and what it buys | USD |
|---|---|---|
| Small molecule analysis, catalogue compound | LC-MS identity against a certified reference standard, HPLC-UV purity Measured mass against the standard with the difference stated, acquired in the polarity the compound actually responds in, alongside a chromatogram with every integrated peak above the reporting threshold. | 267 |
| Small molecule analysis, specialist compound | LC-MS identity against a certified reference standard, HPLC-UV purity Compounds whose reference standard is not widely stocked, or whose chemistry needs a different ion source or a different mobile phase from the rest of the class before the determination can run at all. | 377 |
| Small molecule analysis, reference standard sourced to order | LC-MS identity, HPLC-UV purity, standard procured before booking in Compounds with no stocked certified reference standard. The standard is sourced before the sample is accepted rather than after, because without one there is nothing to compare the measurement against. | 527 |
| Blind screening, androgen receptor modulator class | LC-MS in both polarities against the held class standard library The submitted material is not declared. Each candidate in the library is confirmed or excluded on measured mass, in both ionisation polarities, because the class spans compounds that respond in opposite modes and a single-polarity screen misses part of its own list. The library boundary is printed on the certificate. | 267 |
| Enantiomeric purity | Chiral stationary phase, ultraviolet detection An enantiomer has the identical formula, the identical mass and the identical retention on an achiral column. It is the one impurity in this class that a conventional purity determination cannot see, and it is reported as its own figure. | 299 |
| Absolute purity by quantitative NMR | Proton qNMR against a certified internal standard Gives a mass-fraction purity without a reference standard of the analyte itself, because the measurement is against a certified standard of something else entirely. It is the determination to order when no standard for the compound exists. | 416 |
These determinations answer different questions and none substitutes for another. Sterility is not pyrogenicity, enumeration is not sterility, and a screening result is bounded by the standards held.
| Determination | Method and what it buys | USD |
|---|---|---|
| Bacterial endotoxins | Kinetic chromogenic LAL under USP <85>, or recombinant factor C under USP <86> Quantitative in endotoxin units across the validated range, with the inhibition and enhancement check and the dilution factor on the certificate. Endotoxin survives autoclaving and passes a 0.22 micron filter. | 195 |
| Microbial enumeration | USP <61>, total aerobic and total yeast and mould count Reported as colony forming units per gram or per container, not as pass or fail. A count is a measurement; a pass is an interpretation of one. | 312 |
| Sterility | USP <71>, membrane filtration, 14 day incubation The compendial sterility test, run aseptically with growth promotion and negative controls. It is a different test from enumeration and takes fourteen days. | 390 |
| Elemental impurities | ICP-MS after closed-vessel microwave digestion, USP <233> Quantitation at parts per billion against ICH Q3D permitted daily exposures, element by element, with the digestion recovery reported. | 164 |
| Residual solvents | Headspace GC-MS, USP <467>, ICH Q3C classes Targeted panel against class limits. Class 1 solvents are reported against their individual concentration limits rather than a summed figure. | 221 |
| Contamination screening | LC-MS against the held reference standard library Identification only, and bounded by the standards held. The boundary is printed on the certificate, because a screen that names its limits is worth more than one that implies it found everything. | 221 |
Formulated matrices carry excipients, emulsifiers and pigments that interfere with the determination. Recovery is established in the actual matrix before a number is reported.
| Determination | Method and what it buys | USD |
|---|---|---|
| Active ingredient assay, per analyte | HPLC-UV or LC-MS against a certified reference standard Measured content against label claim, with matrix-matched calibration and spike recovery, because an excipient that co-elutes will otherwise be counted as active. | 247 |
| Content uniformity, ten units | Individual assay of ten units from one batch Mean, range and relative standard deviation across ten units. A composite assay of ten tablets ground together cannot detect that one of them is empty. | 520 |
| Preservative efficacy, 28 days | Inoculated challenge with enumeration at fixed intervals Five organism challenge with log reduction at day 7, 14 and 28. The duration is set by the method and cannot be shortened. | 585 |
| Stability and forced degradation | Stressed storage with chromatographic purity at intervals Degradation products resolved and quantified rather than a single end-point assay, so the failure mode is identified and not merely observed. | 263 |
Evidence and repeatability are priced deliberately low. A client who cannot afford the raw data cannot audit the result, and a result that cannot be audited is an assertion.
| Determination | Method and what it buys | USD |
|---|---|---|
| Batch variance, per additional unit | Full repeat of the ordered determinations on a second unit Variance across units from one batch is the single most informative addition to any order, because one vial says nothing about the fill. | 78 |
| pH of reconstituted solution | Calibrated electrode, temperature compensated Minutes of instrument time, and a fast indicator that a lyophilised formulation was buffered as declared. | 39 |
| Raw data package | Chromatograms, spectra and native instrument files The evidence behind the numbers, in the format the instrument wrote it. Charging meaningfully for it would defeat the purpose of issuing it. | 26 |
| Additional report copy | Reissue to a second named recipient Administrative only. The content is identical, the determination is not repeated, and a reissued report does not become a second result. | 39 |
What a price on this list includes
The determination, the certificate, and the raw data behind it. Chromatograms, spectra and native instrument files are retained for five years and reissued on request, and the charge for the package is deliberately nominal: a client who cannot afford the evidence cannot audit the result, and a result that cannot be audited is an assertion.
It does not include transport, insurance, customs charges or import fees in either direction, and value added tax is added where it applies.
A determination that cannot be performed because the sample is insufficient, unsuitable or not chromatographable is reported as not performed, with the reason, and is not charged. Determinations already completed on the same sample are charged.
Quotations are issued per panel and per matrix and are valid for thirty days.
| Surcharge | 60 percent of expedited value |
| Cannot be expedited | Microbial enumeration, sterility, preservative efficacy |
Sixty percent of the value of the expedited determinations. Microbiological determinations cannot be expedited: incubation sets its own clock and no surcharge shortens fourteen days.
Prices are per determination and per matrix. Quotations are issued per panel; blends are quoted per component, because each component needs its own reference standard, its own identity confirmation and its own quantitation.
Analysis begins on receipt of both the sample and payment, unless account terms are agreed in writing. Account invoices are payable within fourteen days. Prices are quoted in USD; EUR is quoted on request.

What does a peptide analysis cost at ANALYTON?
A catalogue compound is 341 US dollars for LC-MS identity with deconvolution and RP-HPLC purity at 214 nm. A specialist compound, where a certified reference standard has to be sourced or a gradient developed, is 590. The four cumulative panels run from 341 to 1730.
Why is a panel cheaper than its components added together?
Because sample receipt, preparation and reporting are performed once regardless of how many determinations are ordered. Both figures are printed on this page so the difference can be read rather than taken on trust.
What does the expedite surcharge cost?
Sixty percent of the value of the expedited determinations. Microbiological work cannot be expedited at any price, because incubation duration is fixed by the method and no surcharge shortens fourteen days.
How are blends priced?
Per component. Each component in a blend needs its own reference standard, its own identity confirmation and its own quantitation, so a blend is not one determination. The first component is priced as a catalogue or specialist analysis and each further component adds 179 US dollars.
Are these prices inclusive of shipping and duty?
No. Prices are for the determinations themselves. Transport, insurance, customs charges and import fees in either direction are outside them, and value added tax is added where it applies.
