Every certificate, as the laboratory issued it.

These are the original laboratory pages for lots we have had tested: identity and quantity, and for full tests endotoxin and heavy metals too. Search by product, batch code or report number.

How to read a COA

What each line on the report means

What a certificate is, and is not

A certificate of analysis is the laboratory's report on the sample it received. It states identity and purity (and for full tests, quantity, endotoxin and heavy metals) for that sample. It speaks for that lot only, not for any other lot, and it is not a medical or safety clearance. We never publish an invented, estimated or retyped number: a row is here only when the laboratory's own document is behind it.

Identity

Is it the right molecule?

Mass spectrometry compares the measured molecular mass with the expected mass of the peptide. A match confirms the sample is the compound named on the label.

Purity

How much of it is that molecule?

HPLC separates the sample into peaks. Purity is the main peak's share of the total peak area, given as a percentage. Research-grade peptides usually report above 98 to 99%.

Quantity

Is the amount on the label really in the vial?

The laboratory measures the milligrams in the vial and reports them next to the labelled amount. A 10 mg vial should measure close to 10 mg.

Endotoxin

Bacterial residue

Endotoxin (from bacterial cell walls) is reported in EU per mg or per mL. Lower is better; full tests include it, identity-only tests do not.

Heavy metals

Lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury

Reported in parts per million (or below the detection limit). Full tests include a heavy-metals panel.

Sample details

Lot, dates, description

The batch or lot code, the date received and the date reported, and how the sample looked. The lot code is what ties the certificate to your vial.

02

How to verify a lot

Four checks, two minutes
1
Match the lot code
Find the lot or batch code on your vial label and search for it above. The code on the certificate must match the code on the vial.
2
Check the report key
Each original certificate carries a report number and a verification key printed by the laboratory. The laboratory confirms them on its own site. Ask us and we send you the direct verification link.
3
Read the numbers
Compound name, the labelled amount against the measured amount, purity, and the report date. Use the guide above if a line is unfamiliar.
4
Still unsure? Test it
Send any vial, ours or anyone's, to our testing service and get the laboratory's original certificate in your own name. See testing
