Public COA audit
GHK-Cu · GHK-CU
Audited September 5, 2026
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)
- 99.9%
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.

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.
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).
GHK-Cu confirmed
Purity
Tested · passed · core
Reported purity percentage for the analyte.
99.90%
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.
Pass (both replicates)
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
99.90% purity by HPLC-UV is excellent and typical for research-grade peptides
Identity confirmed by LC-MS
Mass spectrometry confirmation provided with chromatogram showing clean peak
Endotoxin testing performed
Two replicates tested using LAL assay per USP <85> with sensitivity ≤0.05 EU/mL, both passed
Batch information complete
Lot number GHK100-042026-2, accession 2604200589, net content 109.135 mg documented
Dates within normal range
Received 2026-04-20, reported 2026-04-22 (2-day turnaround is reasonable)
Lab verification unclear
Freedom Diagnostics Testing website and contact provided, but independent verification of lab accreditation/credentials not possible from document alone
Generic template appearance
Document uses a relatively simple template format; professional but not as detailed as some major testing labs
Limited testing scope
Heavy metals, microbial contamination, sterility, and residual solvents not tested; common for basic peptide COAs but limits comprehensive quality assessment
