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.

1 of 7 present · 1 passed · 0 failed · 0 reported · 6 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

    Not on this COA · core

    Compound identity confirmed (e.g. HPLC, mass spec).

    No evidence for this panel. That lowers thoroughness — whether it matters depends on what you care about.

  • Purity

    Not on this COA · core

    Reported purity percentage for the analyte.

    No evidence for this panel. That lowers thoroughness — whether it matters depends on what you care about.

  • 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

    Tested · passed · core

    LAL or chromogenic endotoxin assay.

    <0.05 EU/mL

  • 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.

  • Issue date after sample date

    Analysis conducted date (03/29/2026) is 5 days before the received date (04/03/2026), which is logically impossible

  • Missing critical panels

    COA only includes endotoxin testing. Missing identity confirmation, purity analysis (HPLC/MS), heavy metals, microbial, sterility, and residual solvent/water content panels that are standard for peptide research compounds

  • No purity data

    No HPLC, MS, or other purity analysis provided. Purity is a fundamental requirement for peptide COAs

  • No identity confirmation

    No MS, NMR, or other identity confirmation method documented. Cannot verify the compound is actually GHK-Cu

  • Lab contact information provided

    Horizon Analytical with contact email and verification URL provided. Includes QR code for validation

  • Professional presentation

    Document has professional layout with clear headers, compound identification (CAS, formula, molecular weight), and signatory information
