Public COA audit
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
- 83%
- 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 · 2 passed · 0 failed · 1 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.
>99.9%
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 · result on file · core
LAL or chromogenic endotoxin assay.
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
Chromatographic purity >99.9% by HPLC-UV/MS with supporting chromatogram showing single dominant peak at 0.63 min
Identity confirmed by mass spectrometry
Mass spectrum matches reference standard for GHK-Cu (CAS 49557-75-7); molecular ion peaks visible in MS data
Batch/lot number present
Lot 9mkr2fk clearly marked on certificate and vial images
Dates are valid and logical
Sample received 2026-01-29, tested 2026-02-11, report issued 2026-02-18 - all dates are sequential and on or before 2026-09-05
Vendor/lab name inconsistency
Document header shows 'Finnrick.com' and 'Finnrick Analytics' but footer and methods reference 'Krause Analytical LLC' - appears to be a reseller/white-label arrangement but creates confusion about actual testing lab
Methods described but results not shown
Page 3 describes methods for endotoxin (LAL) and heavy metals (ICP-MS) testing, but no actual test results are provided in this certificate - this may be a purity-focused report with other panels tested separately
Limited testing scope
This certificate only shows purity/identity/potency results; no microbial, sterility, residual solvent, or water content data present
Professional presentation
Certificate includes vial photos, chromatogram, mass spectrum data, detailed methods summary, and signature from Laboratory Director Mark C. Krause
