The Panel
What we test for, and how.
Each method below is run per-lot. Limits reflect our internal release specification — typically tighter than pharmacopeial minimums.
Purity
Reverse-phase HPLC with UV/DAD detection quantifies the target peptide against impurities and process residuals.
- Release limit
- ≥ 99.0%
- Instrument
- Agilent 1260 Infinity II
Content Verification
Acid hydrolysis followed by amino acid quantification verifies mass and concentration match the labeled potency.
- Release limit
- Labeled potency confirmed
- Instrument
- Hitachi L-8900
Identity Confirmation
Mass spectrometry confirms exact molecular weight and detects any truncated or modified sequences.
- Release limit
- ± 0.1 Da of theoretical
- Instrument
- Thermo Q Exactive
Heavy Metals Screening
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry screens for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury below USP <232> thresholds.
- Release limit
- USP <232> limits
- Instrument
- Agilent 7900 ICP-MS
Sterility Testing
Membrane filtration into fluid thioglycollate and tryptic soy broth, incubated and inspected per USP <71>.
- Release limit
- No growth at 14 days
- Instrument
- Membrane filtration
Endotoxin Testing
Limulus amebocyte lysate assay quantifies bacterial endotoxin levels for cell-culture compatibility.
- Release limit
- < 0.5 EU/mg
- Instrument
- Charles River Endosafe
Batch Conformity Verification
Final third-party review confirms every assay result matches the lot's release specification and that the published COA is true to the vial.
- Release limit
- Matches release spec & COA
- Instrument
- ISO/IEC 17025 lab review
Chain of Custody
From synthesis to shelf, every sample is tracked.
Each lot is assigned a unique identifier at the point of synthesis. That ID follows the material through purification, lyophilization, fill, and every test point — and is printed on the vial label and the COA. Anyone can verify the chain via the lot lookup tool.

FAQ
Common questions about our testing
Who performs the testing?
Independent laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 perform identity, purity, and contamination assays. Our internal QC repeats HPLC on every lot as a release gate.
When is the COA published?
Before the lot is released to fulfillment. If a lot has no COA on its product page, it cannot ship.
What happens if a batch fails?
It is quarantined and destroyed. We do not downgrade, re-sell, or sub-brand failed material.
Can I see raw chromatograms?
Yes — every published COA links to the full HPLC trace and mass spectrum as PDFs.
