Public COA audit

MOTS-c

Audited September 5, 2026

Mostly consistent, with concerns

Several fields check out, but we found issues worth reviewing before you rely on this document.

Legitimacy
92
Confidence
93%
Panels
4/7
Purity (printed)
98.7%

Scored high because the document is mostly consistent but carries soft concerns, limited panel coverage (4/7), and 1 soft concern. To improve: include identity, purity, and endotoxin at minimum.

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.

4 of 7 present · 2 passed · 0 failed · 2 reported · 3 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.

    98.7%

  • Heavy metals

    Tested · result on file

    Lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, or similar limits.

  • 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 · result on file · core

    LAL or chromogenic endotoxin assay.

  • 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.

  • High chromatographic purity

    98.7% purity by HPLC-UV/MS with clean chromatogram showing dominant peak at 5.85 min

  • Identity confirmed

    Mass spectral match confirmed by HPLC-UV-MS; mass spectrum shows expected charge states for MOTS-c peptide

  • Batch/lot documented

    Lot cusbs4m clearly stated with label claim of 10 mg, actual content 9.82 mg (98.1% of label)

  • Dates documented

    Sample received 2026-04-07, report issued 2026-04-17 (10-day turnaround)

  • Established testing lab

    Krause Analytical LLC (Austin, TX) is a known third-party peptide testing laboratory; verification URL provided

  • Multiple testing panels documented

    Methods summary (page 4) describes purity/identity (USP/NF 621), endotoxin (USP/NF 85), and metals (USP/NF 233) testing protocols

  • Results not shown for all described methods

    Page 4 describes endotoxin and metals testing methods, but page 1 results table only shows purity/identity data; endotoxin and metals results may be on separate report pages or not yet completed

  • Professional formatting

    Document includes lab letterhead, signature, chromatogram, mass spectrum, methods summary, and watermark; consistent with Krause Analytical/Finnrick format
