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.
3 of 7 present · 3 passed · 0 failed · 0 reported · 4 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).
ID Confirmed
Purity
Tested · passed · core
Reported purity percentage for the analyte.
98.80%
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
Tested · passed · core
LAL or chromogenic endotoxin assay.
<0.5 EU
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 HPLC purity
98.80% chromatographic purity is normal and expected for research-grade peptides
Mass spectral confirmation
Identity confirmed via HPLC-UV-MS with reference spectrum comparison shown on page 2
Batch number present
Lot 7yt7grq clearly stated
Dates within normal range
Sample received 2/26/2026, testing completed 2/28-3/3/2026, report issued 3/3/2026 - all dates are consistent and on or before 2026-07-29
Branding inconsistency
Document shows dual branding: 'Finnrick Analytics' and 'Krause Analytical LLC' with same address (8127 Mesa Drive Suite B-206 Austin, TX 78759). Header says 'Finnrick.com' and 'Finnrick Analytics Lab # 201832', but footer and signature reference 'Krause Analytical LLC' and 'Mark C. Krause, Laboratory Director'. This may indicate a legitimate parent-subsidiary or rebranding relationship, but creates ambiguity about the actual testing entity.
Limited testing scope
Only purity, identity, and endotoxin panels performed. No heavy metals, microbial contamination, sterility, or residual solvent testing. Methods summary on page 3 references metals testing (USP/NF 233) but no results are reported.
Professional presentation
Document includes chromatogram, mass spectrum comparison, detailed methods summary, and proper USP references
