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.
2 of 7 present · 2 passed · 0 failed · 0 reported · 5 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).
Epitalon confirmed, [M+H]+ 391.00
Purity
Tested · passed · core
Reported purity percentage for the analyte.
99.351%
Heavy metals
Not on this COA
Lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, or similar limits.
No evidence for this panel. That lowers thoroughness — whether it matters depends on what you care about.
Microbial
Not on this COA
Bioburden / microbial limits testing.
No evidence for this panel. That lowers thoroughness — whether it matters depends on what you care about.
Endotoxin
Not on this COA · core
LAL or chromogenic endotoxin assay.
No evidence for this panel. That lowers thoroughness — whether it matters depends on what you care about.
Sterility
Not on this COA
Sterility testing where applicable.
No evidence for this panel. That lowers thoroughness — whether it matters depends on what you care about.
Residual solvent / water
Not on this COA
Residual solvents or water content limits.
No evidence for this panel. That lowers thoroughness — whether it matters depends on what you care about.
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
Not on this certificate. Lowers thoroughness; you decide if that panel matters for your use case. PeptIQ’s score still factors coverage.
Findings
Evidence-linked observations from this audit.
High purity confirmed
HPLC purity of 99.351% is excellent and typical for research-grade peptides. Clean chromatogram with single dominant peak.
Identity confirmed by mass spec
Mass spectrometry shows [M+H]+ at 391.00, consistent with Epitalon molecular weight. Both HPLC and MS data provided.
Batch/lot number present
Lot CR-ET40-0217-1 clearly stated
Dates present and reasonable
Received 02/25/2026, reported 2/26/2026 - one day turnaround is plausible for HPLC/MS analysis
Lab identification present
Freedom Diagnostics with verification URL and contact email. Signed by Stephen Schmidt, Principal Chemist.
Limited testing scope
Only identity and purity panels performed. No heavy metals, microbial, endotoxin, sterility, or solvent/water content testing. This is common for basic research peptide COAs but limits comprehensive quality assessment.
Professional presentation
Well-formatted document with company branding, clear data presentation, chromatogram, mass spectrum, and product photo included. Includes appropriate research-use-only disclaimer.
