Quality and testing

Every lot is tested twice before it ships.

Our manufacturer tests each lot. Then Testides Analytical, an independent lab in Ontario, tests it again. Find the report with the lot number on your vial.

Methods

11 tests, one lot at a time.

The independent lab checks identity by mass, measures purity, net content, endotoxin and heavy metals, and records appearance. The manufacturer's lab runs the other 5. Each report covers a sample from one lot.

Select a test to see what it shows and what it cannot show.

Independent lab · report published

What it shows

Measures the mass of the molecule and compares it with the expected mass of the peptide on the label. A different mass points to a wrong peptide, a shortened chain or a substitute.

What it cannot show

A mass match is strong evidence, not a full structure check. It does not measure purity.

Two checks

Tested twice before it ships.

The lab that makes each lot tests it first. Then an independent lab tests it again. Both reports carry the lot number on your vial.

    Report on file

    The manufacturer's lab tests each lot when it is made. We keep that report on file for your lot.

  2. 2

    At Testides Analytical

    Report published

    Testides tests a sample from the same lot. It checks identity by mass and measures purity, net content, endotoxin and heavy metals. A lot ships only after both reports pass.

    • Identity (mass spec)
    • Purity (HPLC)
    • Net content
    • Endotoxin (LAL)
    • Heavy metals
What to check

Questions to ask any supplier.

A label states what should be in the vial. A lot report shows what a lab measured. Compare the two.
