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.

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

    GHK-Cu confirmed

  • Purity

    Tested · passed · core

    Reported purity percentage for the analyte.

    99.86% average (Vial 1: 99.84%, Vial 2: 99.90%, Vial 3: 99.85%)

  • 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

    Tested · passed · core

    LAL or chromogenic endotoxin assay.

    Replicate 1: ≤ 0.05 EU/mL, Replicate 2: ≤ 0.05 EU/mL

  • 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

    Average purity of 99.86% across three vials is consistent with quality research-grade peptide. HPLC chromatogram shows clean single peak.

  • Mass spec confirmation

    Mass spectrometry data shows expected [M+2H]2+ and [M+H]+ peaks for GHK-Cu, confirming molecular identity.

  • Batch number present

    Lot number CR-GHK100-0212-1 clearly documented with accession number 2602150033.

  • Dates documented

    Received date 02/16/2026 and reported date 2/17/2026 are clearly stated and represent reasonable turnaround time.

  • Lab verification unclear

    Freedom Diagnostics is listed with website FreedomDiagnosticsTesting.com and email [email protected]. Independent verification of this lab's accreditation status is recommended.

  • Limited testing panels

    COA includes identity, purity, and endotoxin testing but lacks heavy metals, microbial, sterility, and residual solvent/water content panels. This is not uncommon for research peptides but represents incomplete characterization.

  • Professional presentation

    Document includes chromatogram, mass spec data, product photos, and appropriate research-use-only disclaimer. Layout is professional and organized.
