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 · 3 passed · 0 failed · 0 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).

    FTIR sample spectrum confirms the presence of Melanotan-2 with addition of excipient(s)/fillers

  • Purity

    Tested · passed · core

    Reported purity percentage for the analyte.

    99.8%

  • 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.

    15.4 EU/vial (limit: 40 EU/vial)

  • 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 HPLC purity achieved

    HPLC purity of 99.8% meets specification (≥98%). This is normal for research-grade peptides.

  • Identity confirmed by FTIR

    FTIR spectrum confirms Melanotan-2 presence with excipients/fillers noted.

  • Potency within specification

    HPLC potency assay shows 97.8-110.4% of labeled 10 mg, within 90-110% specification range.

  • Endotoxin testing passed

    Bacterial endotoxin level of 15.4 EU/vial is well below the 40 EU/vial limit (tested 4/8/2026, reported 4/10/2026).

  • Batch/lot number clearly stated

    Lot number CR-MT210-2603-1 is consistent across all three pages.

  • Dates are consistent and valid

    Sample tested 4/2/2026, COA issued 4/5/2026; endotoxin tested 4/8/2026, issued 4/10/2026. All dates are on or before 2026-07-28 and logically sequenced.

  • Lab contact information provided

    BTLabs, West Palm Beach, FL with phone, email, and website. QR code present for verification.

  • Professional formatting with supporting data

    Includes FTIR spectrum, HPLC chromatogram, retention time data, and detailed test results table. Two scientist signatures on each page.

  • Some panels not tested

    Heavy metals, microbial contamination, sterility, and residual solvents/water content not tested. Testing purpose statement on page 1 explicitly notes it does not provide information on particulate matter, microbial contamination, or endotoxins (though endotoxin testing was performed separately on page 3).
