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 · 1 passed · 1 failed · 1 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 · failed · core

    Compound identity confirmed (e.g. HPLC, mass spec).

    Incorrect

  • Purity

    Tested · result on file · core

    Reported purity percentage for the analyte.

    ND

  • 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.

    <0.5 EU

  • 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.

  • Mass Spectral ID Failed

    The COA explicitly states 'Mass Spectral ID: Incorrect', indicating the sample failed identity verification against the expected hCG standard.

  • Purity Not Detected

    Chromatographic purity result shows 'ND' (Not Detected), meaning no quantifiable peptide was found. This is inconsistent with a product containing 5000 IU of hCG.

  • Peptide Analysis Not Detected

    The main Peptide Analysis row shows 'ND' with no percentage value, indicating the target compound was not detected in the sample.

  • Branding Inconsistency

    Document header shows 'Finnrick Analytics' and 'Finnrick.com' but footer and methods section reference 'Krause Analytical LLC' with Austin, TX address. The Krause Analytical logo appears throughout, suggesting Finnrick may be a reseller/intermediary, but the dual branding is unusual for a primary COA.

  • Heavy Watermarking

    Document contains prominent 'FINNRICK' watermarks throughout all pages, which is atypical for legitimate analytical lab reports and may indicate an attempt to obscure details or prevent verification.

  • Failed Product

    This COA documents a failed sample: identity incorrect and purity not detected. While the COA format appears legitimate, the results indicate the product does not contain the claimed compound. This is a legitimate test result showing product failure, not necessarily a fake COA, but represents a critical quality failure.
