Public COA audit
EPITALON
Audited September 5, 2026
Several fields check out, but we found issues worth reviewing before you rely on this document.
- Legitimacy
- 92
- Confidence
- 88%
- Panels
- 5/7
- Purity (printed)
- 99.08%
Scored high because the document is mostly consistent but carries soft concerns, broad panel coverage (5/7), and 1 soft concern.

Original certificate
Embedded copy of the stored COA PDF or image. Download it for your records — PeptIQ’s audit is separate from the lab document itself.
7-panel checklist
Had data + good, had data + bad, reported without pass/fail, or missing. Missing lowers thoroughness — you decide whether that panel matters; PeptIQ’s score still factors coverage.
5 of 7 present · 5 passed · 0 failed · 0 reported · 2 missing
Missing is a thoroughness gap — not automatically bad. PeptIQ’s legitimacy score still weighs panel coverage; you can down-weight panels that don’t matter for your use case.
Identity
Tested · passed · core
Compound identity confirmed (e.g. HPLC, mass spec).
Confirmed
Purity
Tested · passed · core
Reported purity percentage for the analyte.
99.08%
Heavy metals
Tested · passed
Lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, or similar limits.
All Not Detected (As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb)
Microbial
Not on this certificate file
Bioburden / microbial limits testing.
No evidence on this file. Vendors sometimes publish separate purity and endotoxin reports for the same lot — check the brand page before treating this as “never tested.”
Endotoxin
Tested · passed · core
LAL or chromogenic endotoxin assay.
0.06 EU/mL
Sterility
Tested · passed
Sterility testing where applicable.
No Growth
Residual solvent / water
Not on this certificate file
Residual solvents or water content limits.
No evidence on this file. Vendors sometimes publish separate purity and endotoxin reports for the same lot — check the brand page before treating this as “never tested.”
How to read this
Had data · good
Panel present with a pass (or clear acceptance).
Had data · bad
Panel present with a fail — a concrete quality signal.
Had data · unclear
Value reported without an explicit pass/fail mark.
Missing on this file
Not on this certificate file. Lowers file thoroughness; a sibling endotoxin/purity report for the same lot may still exist. PeptIQ’s score still factors coverage.
Findings
Evidence-linked observations from this audit.
High purity with conformity testing
99.08% purity confirmed across 3 samples (mean 98.99%, std dev 0.12%), with representative chromatogram and net peptide content quantification
Identity confirmed by HPLC
EPITALON confirmed by chromatographic retention time comparison with reference standard
Complete batch information
Lot CRET-50-0212-1, Accession ACC-2026-2079, COA COA-2026-VBCKAL with access code 5E_Y7GUA
Dates consistent and valid
Received 2026-05-06, analyzed and issued 2026-05-11 (5-day turnaround)
ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab
ILS Laboratories, San Diego CA, with verification URL and QR code for authenticity check
Comprehensive testing panel
Full QC Panel includes purity/identity (HPLC), heavy metals (ICP-MS), sterility (PCR), and endotoxin (USP <85>). Missing: microbial count and residual solvents/water content
Microbial and residual solvent panels absent
No microbial enumeration (TAMC/TYMC) or residual solvent/water content testing reported. Sterility (PCR) is present but does not replace quantitative microbial limits
Professional multi-page format
2-page COA with consistent branding, clear tables, chromatogram, conformity data, methodology notes, and lab director signature
