Short answer: most don't. Genuine per-batch testing is expensive, so many vendors test once (or rely on their supplier's single test) and show that same COA for everything after. Unless you can tie the certificate to your batch, "lab tested" often means "a batch was tested once," not "this vial was tested."

How batch testing actually works

A "batch" (or lot) is one production run. True per-batch testing means each lot gets its own fresh analysis with its own COA and lot number. That's the gold standard — and it's costly, which is exactly why it's rare. The cheaper, common shortcut is COA reuse: one good test stretched across many untested lots.

How to tell if YOUR vial was tested

  1. Lot number match: does the lot on your physical vial match the lot on the COA? (Many vendors don't even print one.)
  2. Recent, specific date: a per-batch COA is recent and tied to that run — not a single document dated long ago and reused.
  3. Portal verification: the result resolves on the lab's own portal, tied to that lot.
  4. Independent blind testing: the strongest proof — someone bought off-the-shelf and tested it, so the vendor couldn't cherry-pick the sample.

The takeaway

"Do they test every batch?" is the right question to ask a vendor directly. An open, specific answer (with per-lot COAs you can verify) is a strong sign; a vague "everything is lab tested" usually means one test doing a lot of work.

How to tell from the archive, without asking

Count reports and count batches. A vendor that tests every batch has roughly as many reports for a product as it has had production runs, and the batch identifiers on the reports form a sequence that advances over time. A vendor that tested once has one report per product, often with a date close to the product's launch and a batch that no current vial carries. The archive on the laboratory's portal is the place to count, because a vendor-hosted page can list the same report under several products.

What per-batch testing costs, and why cost is not the reason

A combined identity-and-purity report costs in the low hundreds of dollars per sample and is spread over every vial in the batch; at any commercial batch size that is cents to a few dollars per vial. The explanation for a vendor testing once is rarely cost. It is more often that the vendor buys finished product from a supplier that provided one report, and passes that report along, so the vendor never sees the laboratory and never chooses to. That is a supply-chain fact rather than a fraud, but its consequence is the same for the buyer: the report describes a batch upstream, at some point in the past, and not the vial that ships.

Three archive shapes, and what each means

Many reports, advancing batches, low results kept. A running programme. Each batch is measured as it arrives, and results that came in low were published rather than replaced. Many reports, all on a few products. A demonstration concentrated on the best sellers, with the rest of the catalogue riding on the reputation. Legitimate, but check that the item you want is among the tested ones. One report per product, dated at launch. A single test used as a permanent badge. The vendor may be honest, the material may be fine, and the report still tells you nothing about the current batch.

The question to ask, and the answer to expect

“Which batch is shipping now, and where is its report?” A vendor that tests every batch answers with an identifier and a link in one message. A vendor that does not will answer about testing in general. The difference in the answer is the difference in the archive, and it takes one email to find out.

Re-testing as the higher standard

Beyond per-batch testing sits re-testing: measuring an older batch again to see whether it held in storage. It produces no better number and costs money, which is exactly why a vendor that does it is credible. It is rare in this category, and an archive that shows it is worth more than an archive of the same size that does not.

The numbers a reader can verify

244 published lab reports. 133 distinct products covered. 99.03% average purity across the 181 reports that state one, spanning 93.844% to 99.99%. Every one of them is hosted by Janoshik Analytical rather than by the seller, which is what makes the figures checkable instead of quotable. Shipping is domestic Canadian, pricing CAD, and the vendor has answered in public threads since November 2021. Itemised here.
