Don't know if anyone - like me - has ever wondered if the gear you have bought is properly dosed or have bought raws and wondered about purity.
It can be really difficult to tell exactly if what you are using is dosed properly. Bloods are of limited use and we have all heard the stories of raws being cut down and oils shorted. (The sponsors I have dealt with here have all been on point - so I'm not talking about them)
My misses works in a lab where they have a Mass Spectrometer but all tests are logged so any testing that I would like to do is out of the question. It's bloody frustrating because I spend a bit of time in the lab and the damn thing just seems to be mocking me.
Anyways, because I just have to know - and especially for those ordering raws I have been researching an answer. Mass Spectrometers cost a bomb (about $200 000) and you often see people on sites saying testing is out of the question on the grounds of costs. Not true - in the US you can have a sample tested for around US$50. In Aus its closer to AUS$200 (Aussies get ripped off for everything). However, because of the legalities no one is going to use these services. The answer for both Aussies and our US brothers is testing in Thailand. In Thailand aas is not illegal so getting a test done is no problem. It also helps that things are much cheaper in the land of smiles.
Testing via Mass Spectrometry (MS) analysis costs around US$30. Usually they will want a liquid or dry sample in an eppendorf tube. So for the cost of a international shipping and US$30 you can have a sample tested via Mass Spectrometry and receive a report. What you are after is the low resolution MS (Mass Spectrometry) test . There is no arguing with a MS report.
You set things up via email. The company is Bioresources Research Laboratory a subsidiary of BIOTEC (which seems to be a government testing facility supporting universities and business).

So if you just gotta know - now you can.
