Public COA audit
TB-500 · Thymosin beta4
Audited September 5, 2026
Several fields check out, but we found issues worth reviewing before you rely on this document.
- Legitimacy
- 72
- Confidence
- 85%
- Panels
- 2/7
- Purity (printed)
- 99.67%
Scored moderately because the document is mostly consistent but carries soft concerns, limited panel coverage (2/7), 2 soft concerns, and notable note: "High purity confirmed". To improve: 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.
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).
4960.49 Da measured vs 4960.48 Da expected
Purity
Tested · passed · core
Reported purity percentage for the analyte.
99.67%
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
Not on this certificate file · core
LAL or chromogenic endotoxin assay.
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.”
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 purity confirmed
99.67% purity by HPLC-UV with clear chromatogram showing dominant peak at 4.63 min. High purity is normal for research peptides.
Identity confirmed
Mass spectrometry confirms molecular weight: measured 4960.49 Da vs expected 4960.48 Da (0.01 Da difference, well within tolerance). Multiple charge states visible in MS spectrum.
Batch information present
Lot number 1154 vial 1 clearly stated
Dates appropriate
Analysis date 2024-08-23, issue date 2024-08-29 (6 days later, reasonable turnaround)
Lab verification limited
MZ Biolabs (Tucson, AZ) is listed with contact information and website. Analyst Ken Pendarvis, ChE is named and signed. However, independent verification of this lab's accreditation status or third-party standing is not provided on the document itself.
Limited testing scope
This COA only covers purity and identity testing. No heavy metals, microbial, endotoxin, sterility, or residual solvent/water testing is included. This is a purity/identity-scoped report only and does not indicate whether these other tests were performed separately or not at all.
Professional presentation
Document includes proper chromatograms, mass spectrum, PubChem reference (CID 16132341), client information, and analyst signature. Formatting is consistent with legitimate analytical reports.
Timing & next steps
Practical follow-ups based on document age and gaps.
coa age
This COA was issued over a year ago (737 days) — consider whether a retest is warranted for this batch.
