Learn to read a peptide COA in minutes: purity (HPLC), identity (MS), net peptide content, counter-ion, water content and batch number — and what good looks like.
HPLC measures peptide purity; mass spectrometry confirms identity. Here's how each method works, why you need both, and how to read the results on a COA.
≥99% purity sounds simple, but net peptide content, counter-ions and water change what's actually in the vial. Here's how to interpret purity claims correctly.
Independent lab testing makes peptide quality credible. Learn why third-party HPLC/MS beats in-house claims and how to verify a COA is genuine.
