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).

    FTIR sample spectrum confirms the presence of L-Carnitine

  • Purity

    Tested · passed · core

    Reported purity percentage for the analyte.

    99.7%

  • 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.

    16.6 EU/vial (limit: 40 EU/vial)

  • 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 HPLC purity confirmed

    HPLC purity of 99.7% meets specification (≥98%), which is normal for research-grade compounds

  • Identity confirmed by FTIR

    FTIR spectrum confirms presence of L-Carnitine with characteristic bands per USP <197A>

  • Batch information complete

    Lot number CR-LCAR600-2603-1 clearly documented with BT Sample IDs 005000039491561 (main) and 005000039491627 (endotoxin)

  • Dates are consistent and valid

    Date tested 4/2/2026, issue date 4/5/2026, endotoxin tested 4/8/2026, endotoxin issued 4/10/2026 - all sequential and reasonable

  • Lab information verifiable

  • Multiple analytical panels performed

    Document includes identity (FTIR), purity (HPLC), potency assay, and endotoxin testing across 3 pages with supporting chromatograms and spectra

  • Professional formatting with QR codes

    Multi-page report with consistent headers, report numbers, QR codes, signatures from two scientists (Andrea Castro AS and Verna Zheng AS), and visual sample photos

  • Some standard panels not included

    Heavy metals, microbial contamination (beyond endotoxin), sterility, and residual solvents/water content not tested. Testing purpose statement explicitly notes no particulate matter or microbial contamination testing beyond endotoxin
