Nootropics depot doesn’t do 3rd party but they seem to have a pretty good in house system and at least list heavy metal specs on the listing page. I’m sure there are others, but I don’t know any as I don’t use TKA anymore due to potential side effects such as low estrogens.

We absolutely do 3rd party testing. We do not have our own in-house ICP-MS, at least not yet. All our heavy metals testing is done for us by a 3rd party lab. We also use other 3rd party labs for other tests all the time, like assays we can't currently do in house, species verification by the PhD botanists at Alkemist, 1D NMR and 2D quant NMR, triple quad LC/GC-MS, and other specialty methods/methodologies that other labs are more suited to. We use 3rd party labs to validate our analytical methods, and any strange OOS results as well. We also partner with a few other 3rd party labs, where they send us samples to test that they can't run or need validation on. On top of that, we are part of the NIST proficiency program. We work with more 3rd party labs than anyone else in this industry, on top of all the stuff we do in-house.
