Modern Aminos Quality Assurance Program

Verifying Your Product: Understanding the COA and Batch Number

Every product at Modern Aminos includes both a Batch Number and a QR Code on the vial label. These identifiers allow you to independently confirm that your vial matches its verified laboratory report.

Here's how to verify your product step-by-step:

1: Scan the QR Code on your vial label — it will take you directly to the specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) for that batch. If the QR code is not working you can match the COA to the label using the unique number above the QR code.

2: Match the Batch Number on your vial to the batch number printed on the COA and vial photo.

Review the Testing Results to confirm purity, identity, and quantity metrics. This ensures the product you're holding was independently tested and verified before release, providing transparency, authenticity, and confidence in your research materials.

Our Commitment to Quality

At Modern Aminos, we're proud to uphold the Modern Aminos Quality Assurance Program, our ongoing promise to deliver unmatched purity, accuracy, and consistency in every research product.

This program represents our dedication to transparency, scientific integrity, and excellence, ensuring that every batch we release is independently tested, verified, and traceable.

Our Handling of Research Chemicals

Before any product is shipped, it's handled under strict quality control protocols designed to preserve stability, purity, and accuracy.

• All materials are stored in sanitary, temperature-controlled, and secure environments, protected from tampering, light, and microbial exposure.
• Samples are collected and analyzed by independent third-party laboratories prior to batch approval.

Any batch that does not meet our strict quality standards is rejected and discarded with no exceptions.

Receiving & Sampling Procedures

When new raw materials arrive at Modern Aminos, they are not placed directly into active inventory.

Instead, each shipment is stored in a quarantine zone, physically separated from approved inventory. Only trained quality personnel may access this area to collect samples for testing.

When multiple containers of the same product arrive, samples are combined into a composite sample to ensure testing reflects the entire batch, not just one portion.

The composite sample is submitted to trusted partners — such as Vanguard, Chromate, or Freedom Diagnostics — where it undergoes a tailored testing panel specific to its molecular structure.

No raw material is approved for packaging or sale until all testing confirms full compliance with Modern Aminos standards. Any failed batch is immediately rejected and discarded.

Our Laboratory Partners

We only work with established, accredited testing facilities that meet or exceed regulatory standards. Our current partners include:

• Vanguard Laboratory
• Chromate
• TrustPointe Analytics
• Freedom Diagnostics

If you have any questions regarding their process we highly recommend you visit one of their websites and reach out to them!

All Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are directly linked to these original lab reports for full transparency. If you ever wish to verify a COA's authenticity, you may contact the testing lab directly using the information on the report.

Batch Testing Protocols

Batch testing is at the heart of the Modern Aminos Quality Assurance Program. Each vial, bottle, or blend is assigned a unique batch number and a scannable QR code linking to its verified lab report.

This system provides two easy ways to confirm authenticity:

• Scan the QR Code on your product label to access batch-specific testing results.
• Enter the Batch Number on our website to retrieve the official COA.

Types of Testing Conducted

At Modern Aminos, every batch is tested using a combination of analytical methods designed to confirm identity, purity, stability, and safety. Not every research chemical receives every single test — certain compounds undergo additional, targeted screening to ensure accuracy and safety.

HPLC: Purity & Identification

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) separates compounds based on their retention time and UV absorption.

• Confirms compound identity
• Provides a quantitative purity percentage (typically 98%+ for our products)
• Detects impurities or degradation products

NMR Spectroscopy: Structural Verification

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analyzes the molecule's behavior in a magnetic field.

• Confirms molecular structure and chemical integrity
• Verifies the compound matches its intended chemical fingerprint

TLC: Purity & Presence Confirmation

Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) visually compares compound migration patterns against reference standards.

• Confirms the presence of the correct compound
• Provides a baseline purity check

ICP-MS: Heavy Metal Screening

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) detects heavy metals at parts-per-trillion levels. Compounds like Methylene Blue receive additional ICP-MS screening due to a high industry rate of heavy metal contamination.

MS: Mass Spectrometry (MALDI / ESI)

Mass Spectrometry (MS) provides precise molecular weight confirmation and detects trace impurities. Especially useful for complex or sensitive molecules such as peptides and novel research chemicals.

Endotoxin Testing (LAL Assay)

For most peptides, we include endotoxin testing using the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay, detecting pyrogenic endotoxins. Results are expressed in EU/mL.

Sterility Testing (Trustpointe Analytics – Michigan)

We partner with Trustpointe Analytics for microbial testing of amino blends and pre-mixed solutions. Each batch is tested for bacteria, yeast, and mold. All results must show no microbial growth before approval.

Additional Testing Protocols

• Degradation Testing: Applied to sensitive compounds (e.g., NAD+) to confirm chemical stability and expected shelf life.
• Ongoing Quality Audits: Randomized sampling of stored inventory to ensure consistency and purity over time.

Our Guarantee

At Modern Aminos, our guarantee is simple:

Every batch we sell must be independently tested and follow the parameters of our Quality Assurance Program — no exceptions.

If you ever discover that a product was shipped without valid third-party testing, we will replace it immediately, free of charge.
