Public COA audit

GHK-Cu

Audited September 5, 2026

Mostly consistent, with concerns

Several fields check out, but we found issues worth reviewing before you rely on this document.

Legitimacy
72
Confidence
85%
Panels
3/7
Purity (printed)

Scored moderately because the document is mostly consistent but carries soft concerns, limited panel coverage (3/7), 3 soft concerns, and notable note: "High purity confirmed". To improve: include identity, purity, and endotoxin at minimum.

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).

    99.79%

  • Purity

    Tested · passed · core

    Reported purity percentage for the analyte.

    Vial 1: 99.776%, Vial 2: 99.812%, Average: 99.79%

  • Heavy metals

    Not on this certificate file

    Lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, or similar 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.”

  • 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.

    Replicate 1: ≤ 0.05 EU/mL, Replicate 2: ≤ 0.05 EU/mL

  • Sterility

    Not on this certificate file

    Sterility testing where applicable.

    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.”

  • 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 confirmed

    HPLC purity of 99.79% (average of two vials: 99.776% and 99.812%) is excellent and typical for research-grade peptides.

  • Mass spec confirmation

    LCMS/MS analysis shows expected molecular ions [M+2H]2+ at 171.00 and [M+H]+ at 341.00, consistent with GHK-Cu identity.

  • Endotoxin testing performed

    Two replicates both passed with results ≤ 0.05 EU/mL, meeting typical research-grade endotoxin thresholds.

  • Batch information complete

    Lot number CR-GHKC99-2511-1 clearly stated with net peptide content for two vials (99.39 mg and 99.91 mg).

  • Dates within normal range

    Received 2025-12-15, reported 2025-12-16 (one-day turnaround is plausible for routine testing).

  • Lab verification uncertain

    Freedom Diagnostics presents as a USA-based testing lab with website FreedomDiagnosticsTesting.com and email [email protected]. Independent verification of lab accreditation/credentials not possible from document alone.

  • Non-standard COA format

    Document uses custom layout with product photos and branded vials. While not inherently problematic, this differs from typical third-party lab reports which tend to be more standardized/clinical in appearance.

  • Limited testing scope

    COA only includes purity, identity, and endotoxin panels. Heavy metals, microbial contamination, sterility, and residual solvents/water content not tested. This is common for basic research-grade testing but limits comprehensive quality assurance.
