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).

    Metformin

  • Purity

    Tested · passed · core

    Reported purity percentage for the analyte.

    99.96%

  • 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 purity confirmed

    99.96% purity by LC-MS exceeds specification of >98%, with supporting chromatogram showing clean single peak

  • Identity confirmed

    Compound identified as Metformin matching specification, with mass spectrum showing expected molecular ion at m/z 130.1060 (calculated 129.167 g/mol)

  • Batch information present

    Batch/Lot number MET-0002 clearly documented

  • Dates documented

    Sample received 03/20/25, analysis conducted 03/25/25 - reasonable 5-day turnaround

  • Lab identification present

    BioRegen lab with analyst signature (Dr. Roberto Marin), contact information, and verification URL provided

  • Limited testing scope

    Only identity and purity testing performed. No heavy metals, microbial, endotoxin, sterility, or residual solvent testing documented

  • Quantity discrepancy

    Specification shows 500mg but result shows 489mg (2.2% under specification), though this is within typical analytical variance

Timing & next steps

Practical follow-ups based on document age and gaps.

  • coa age
