Public COA audit
hCG
Audited September 5, 2026
Multiple signals on this document conflict with known lab formats or verification patterns.
- Legitimacy
- 15
- Confidence
- 92%
- Panels
- 3/7
Scored poorly because audit signals point to fabrication or reused paperwork, limited panel coverage (3/7), 3 critical findings, and notable note: "Mass Spectral ID Failed". To improve: replace this file with an original lab certificate that verifies on the lab portal and 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 · 1 passed · 1 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 · failed · core
Compound identity confirmed (e.g. HPLC, mass spec).
Incorrect
Purity
Tested · result on file · core
Reported purity percentage for the analyte.
ND
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 · passed · core
LAL or chromogenic endotoxin assay.
<0.5 EU
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.
Mass Spectral ID Failed
The certificate explicitly states 'Mass Spectral ID: Incorrect' - the compound failed identity verification by mass spectrometry. This is a critical failure indicating the sample is not the claimed compound (hCG).
Chromatographic Purity Not Detected
Purity result shows 'ND' (Not Detected) with no percentage value. Combined with failed identity test, this suggests the sample does not contain the target peptide or contains insufficient material for quantification.
Conflicting Lab Branding
Document shows dual branding: 'Finnrick Analytics' and 'Finnrick.com' in headers/footers, but the body text, signature, and methods reference 'Krause Analytical LLC' (8127 Mesa Drive Suite B-206 Austin, TX 78759). The signature is from 'Mark C. Krause, Laboratory Director' of Krause Analytical. This inconsistent branding is highly suspicious - legitimate labs do not mix company identities on official COAs.
Watermark Overlay
Heavy 'FINNRICK' watermark overlays throughout the document obscure some content. While watermarks are used by some vendors, this implementation is unusually intrusive for a professional analytical certificate.
Failed Product Release
This COA documents a failed analysis (incorrect identity, no detectable purity). Legitimate labs issue such reports, but releasing a product with this COA would be inappropriate. If this is being presented as proof of product quality, that is a red flag.
Verification URL Domain Mismatch
Verification URL is 'https://finnrick.com/verify' but the performing laboratory is stated as Krause Analytical LLC. The domain should match the actual testing laboratory, not a reseller/vendor brand.
