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).

    GHK-Cu confirmed, [M+2H]2+ 171.05, [M+H]+ 341.05

  • Purity

    Tested · passed · core

    Reported purity percentage for the analyte.

    99.753%

  • 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 99.753% is excellent and typical for research-grade peptides

  • Identity confirmed by MS

    Mass spectrometry shows expected molecular ion peaks [M+2H]2+ at 171.05 and [M+H]+ at 341.05, consistent with GHK-Cu

  • Verifiable testing lab

    Freedom Diagnostics provides searchable verification via FreedomDiagnosticsTesting.com with accession number 2604090054

  • Reasonable turnaround time

    2-day turnaround from received date (04/09/2026) to reported date (04/11/2026) is normal for HPLC-MS analysis

  • Non-standard lot identifier

    Lot number 'Red Cap' is descriptive rather than alphanumeric, which is unusual but not necessarily problematic for small-batch research compounds

  • Limited testing scope

    COA only includes identity and purity testing; no heavy metals, microbial, endotoxin, sterility, or solvent/water content panels present

  • Professional presentation

    Document includes chromatogram, mass spectrum, product photo, and chemist signature (Alex Johnson, Principal Chemist)
