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
88%
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.

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 0.46 min

  • Identity confirmed

    Mass spectrum matches GHK-Cu reference standard (CAS 49557-75-7), with molecular ion peaks visible in MS data

  • Batch number present

    Lot fvcfc7z clearly marked on vial photo and throughout document

  • Dates logical and valid

    Sample received 2/13/2026, tested 2/19/2026, report issued 2/26/2026 - all dates are sequential and on or before 2026-09-05

  • Vendor/lab name mismatch

    Document header shows 'Finnrick' branding and Finnrick.com, but footer and signature reference 'Krause Analytical LLC' - appears to be a vendor (Finnrick) using contract lab (Krause) services, but dual branding may cause confusion

  • Methods described but results missing

    Page 3 describes methods for Endotoxins (USP/NF 85) and Metals (USP/NF 233), but no actual test results are shown in this report - this may be a purity/identity-scoped report only

  • Limited testing scope

    This COA only presents purity and identity results. No microbial, sterility, residual solvent, or water content testing shown. Endotoxin and metals methods are described but not executed in this report

  • Professional presentation

    Document includes vial photos, HPLC chromatogram, mass spectrum comparison, detailed methods summary, and proper USP/NF method references
