Listed without a score

Manufacturer offering analytical services, not an independent testing lab; Fewer than two of purity, identity and quantity testing documented. The criteria below are still shown for transparency.

Overview

AltaBioscience is a United Kingdom-based analytical laboratory offering amino acid analysis, peptide and protein sequencing, and quantitative food, feed and drink analysis. The site states it holds ISO 17025:2017 (2370) accreditation for amino acid analysis, food analysis and protein sequencing, and describes UKAS accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 alongside ISO 9001 certification for custom peptide synthesis and related services. The company also states peptide testing helps confirm identity, purity and consistency, relevant to peptide-based biopharmaceuticals and raw materials. Customers can submit samples via a published submission form or request a quote through the website. A public contact email is listed. The site also references sequencing of proteins in solution, gel bands and PVDF blots. Details are summarised from the company's own website and have not been independently audited.

AltaBioscience also provides custom peptide synthesis, so it is listed as a manufacturer offering analytical services rather than a supplier-independent testing laboratory.

Is this your facility?

Claiming is free. PAL first verifies that you are authorized to act for the business. Verified owners can then use three separate routes. Peptide Ad Lab never charges a business to correct a factual inaccuracy.

Company-provided updatesYour description, testing services, methods and instruments, facility locations, sample submission link, turnaround, pricing and contact details, shown in a section labelled “Provided by the company”. Not checked by PAL and not used in the score. Free: sent to PAL as correction requests. PAL Pro: published directly.
PAL-reviewed evidenceDocuments or links for a scoring criterion. PAL reviews them under the same rule used for every facility; only accepted evidence changes a finding. Any plan.
PAL-verified lab credentialsAccreditations such as ISO/IEC 17025. They count only after PAL finds them in the accreditor’s public directory. Any plan.

PAL Pro is an optional paid plan for company-provided updates, extra images and the PAL Pro badge. It never verifies a credential, accepts evidence, or changes a finding, score, eligibility or ranking position.

Ownership verification confirms that you control the business. It is separate from laboratory credentials and from PAL Pro, it is not an endorsement, and it does not change any finding or score.
