ILS Laboratories
San Diego, CA
Identity
ILS Laboratories (ils-lab.com) is an analytical testing laboratory based in San Diego, CA. Its domain has been registered since 2018. It runs a digital client portal at portal.ils-lab.com, where every Certificate of Analysis it issues carries a QR code for verification, and it tests across several regulated markets beyond peptides — dietary supplements, cosmetics, raw materials and APIs, and California-licensed cannabis compliance testing.
Accreditation
ILS Laboratories' own site states in several places that it is an "ISO 17025 Accredited Laboratory." As of September 5, 2026, that claim did not name a specific accrediting body or carry a certificate number anywhere on the page.
Prof. Peptide checked ILS Laboratories against the searchable directories published by three accreditation bodies, as of September 5, 2026:
A2LA: No accreditation record found
ANAB: No accreditation record found
PJLA: Possible record found — identity unconfirmed
PJLA's directory lists "ILS Labs, Inc. dba Quality Cannabis Laboratories" (San Diego, CA; Certificate L25-631; Accreditation Number 112120; issued 08/22/2025, expires 08/31/2027). The city and the "ILS" name match, and ils-lab.com independently advertises California cannabis compliance testing alongside its peptide testing — consistent with a shared parent operating more than one testing line. But identity is not confirmed: the phone number on the PJLA record (619-750-6050) does not match the number ILS Laboratories publishes on its own Contact page ((619) 329-3999), and the PJLA listing carries no street address to check against the one ils-lab.com publishes (8222 Vickers St STE 106, San Diego, CA 92111). Prof. Peptide could not confirm whether this PJLA-accredited entity is the same business as the peptide-testing ILS Laboratories.
A cloned report template
ILS Laboratories' report template has itself been cloned: certificates branded "Great Lake Labs," issued by the vendor Viper Peptides, were built on a fabricated lab identity using a layout that closely mirrors ILS's genuine report format. A report that looks like an ILS certificate is not evidence it came from ILS — only checking the portal is.
What its reports contain
Purity & Quantitation · HPLC
How much of the vial's contents is the intended peptide, by percentage
Endotoxin Testing · USP <85>, kinetic chromogenic LAL
Bacterial endotoxin contamination
Rapid Sterility Screen · DNA microarray
A broad panel of microbial contaminants; ILS states this method skips the 14-day incubation period a traditional USP <71> culture test requires
Heavy Metals · ICP-MS
Toxic elemental contaminants such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury
How verification works
Every ILS Certificate of Analysis carries a QR code. Scanning it (or looking up the certificate's record at the portal) resolves to the result ILS has on file for that lot, confirming the certificate was genuinely issued by ILS and matches ILS's own record.
Portal verification confirms a certificate is authentic and matches ILS's own record for that lot — it does not confirm chain-of-custody between the sample ILS tested and the specific vial a customer received.
Which PP-listed vendors use this lab
Limitations
- Prof. Peptide has not independently confirmed ILS's ISO 17025 claim against any accrediting body's own directory — see Accreditation above.
- Prof. Peptide verifies through the same public portal a reader would use, and has not visited ILS's laboratory or observed testing directly.
- Vendor certificates print this lab's name inconsistently: most PP-listed vendors print "ILS Laboratories," but Hydro Research's certificates print "ILS-Lab." Both refer to the same lab.
