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.

    99.50%

  • 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 HPLC purity confirmed

    99.50% chromatographic purity by HPLC-UV/MS with supporting chromatogram showing dominant peak at 5.01 min

  • Identity confirmed by mass spectrometry

    Mass spectrum provided and compared to reference standard; CAS number 121062-08-6 matches Melanotan II

  • Batch/lot number present

    Batch 4a4wxm8 clearly marked on COA and visible on vial photos

  • Dates are consistent and valid

    Sample received 2/6/2026, testing 2/16/2026, report issued 2/20/2026 - all dates are logical and on or before 2026-07-29

  • Branding inconsistency

    Document shows dual branding: 'Finnrick' (header, verification URL) and 'Krause Analytical LLC' (footer, signature, methods). This may indicate a reseller/white-label arrangement but creates confusion about the actual testing entity.

  • Lab verification unclear

    Verification URL points to finnrick.com/verify, but lab name is Krause Analytical LLC. Cannot independently verify if Krause Analytical is a legitimate third-party lab or if Finnrick is a legitimate reseller without external research.

  • Limited testing scope

    Only identity and purity panels performed. Methods summary describes endotoxin and metals testing procedures (USP/NF 85, USP/NF 233) but no results are provided. Heavy metals, microbial, sterility, and residual solvent testing not performed or reported.

  • Professional presentation

    Document includes chromatogram, mass spectrum, methods summary, signature, and vial photos. Formatting is consistent with professional analytical lab reports.
