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).

    ID Confirmed

  • Purity

    Tested · passed · core

    Reported purity percentage for the analyte.

    >99.9%

  • 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 chromatographic purity

    HPLC purity >99.9% is normal for research-grade peptides and consistent with the clean chromatogram shown on page 2.

  • Identity confirmed by mass spectrometry

    Mass spectrum matches reference standard for GHK-Cu (CAS 49557-75-7). Chromatogram shows single dominant peak at 0.63 min.

  • Batch/lot number present

    Batch kmbxy76 clearly labeled on COA and visible on vial photos.

  • Dates are reasonable

    Sample received 2026-01-29, tested 2026-02-11, report issued 2026-02-18. All dates are sequential and on or before 2026-07-29.

  • Dual branding: Finnrick/Krause Analytical

    Document header shows 'Finnrick.com' and 'Finnrick Analytics' but footer and signature reference 'Krause Analytical LLC'. This dual branding is unusual but could indicate a white-label or partnership arrangement. Verification URL points to finnrick.com/verify.

  • Methods described but results not shown

    Page 3 describes methods for endotoxins (USP/NF 85) and metals (USP/NF 233), but no actual test results are provided on the COA. Only purity/potency/identity results are shown.

  • Limited testing scope

    COA only reports purity and identity. No microbial, sterility, residual solvent, or water content testing results are provided.

  • Professional presentation

    Document includes chromatogram, mass spectrum comparison, vial photos, detailed methods, and signature. Formatting is consistent with legitimate analytical lab reports.
