Certificates
of Analysis
A COA is a lab's test result for one specific batch. Not a promise. Not a spec sheet. Here's how to read one โ and how to catch a fake.
Purity alone proves nothing
Every vendor quotes 99%. Four things matter more.
Identity (MS)
HPLC measures how much. Mass spec confirms what. A vial can be 99% pure โ of the wrong peptide.
Endotoxin
Bacterial fragments that survive sterile filtration and never show on HPLC. The most common cause of results you can't reproduce.
Net peptide content
A 30mg vial holds water and salts too. Real peptide may be 24mg. Gross weight quietly ships you less.
Water & solvents
Moisture affects stability and accurate dosing. Residual synthesis solvents are their own contamination issue.
How to verify any COA
Including ours. Don't take our word for it.
Red flags
How fake and borrowed COAs usually show up.
Why ours are public
And why we use two labs, not one.
Published, not private
A COA sent over chat can be edited before it reaches you, and denied later. Published on our own domain, it's visible to every customer and competitor โ permanently.
Two independent labs
Different instruments, columns and standards. Cross-testing means one lab's practices can't hide a problem โ and we catch discrepancies before a batch is sold.
