How to read a peptide Certificate of Analysis

A walk through our older Retatrutide 10mg certificate, section by section. Updated reports for other lots are in Lab Reports.

    Who tested it

    An independent analytical lab, not us. Its name, address and email head both pages.

    The batch

    Lot number is the batch that was tested. Analysis date is the day the lab ran it.

    The result

    99.99% pure. HPLC-UV-MS means purity by HPLC, identity by mass spec.

    The chromatogram

    The tall spike at 7.01 min is retatrutide. Impurities show up as extra peaks. There is just one here, a tiny one at 7.28 min.

    The peak list

    The chart as numbers. Retatrutide is 99.99% of the total area, the tiny peak 0.01%. That is where the purity figure comes from.

    The identity check

    Mass spec weighs the molecule. Expected 4,728.47 Da, measured 4,728.54 Da. That match confirms it is retatrutide.

    Signed off

    Signed by the lab's analytical chemist, and dated the day the report was issued.

Good to know

  • This example is the older Retatrutide 10mg report. The eighteen updated Clarion Laboratories reports have a different, three- to five-page layout.
  • Salts and buffers don't show up under UV, so they aren't counted as impurities. The lab notes this at the foot of page 1.
  • This older example tests purity and identity only. The updated Clarion reports also quantify compound content per vial, not total powder weight.

Check it yourself

  1. 1.Open the certificate on the product page, or in Lab Reports.
  2. 2.Check the compound and size at the top match what you're buying.
  3. 3.Click the PubChem link on the certificate. It should open the compound named at the top.

Peptide CoA questions

What is a peptide Certificate of Analysis?
A lab report on one batch of a peptide. Ours shows the purity (HPLC), the identity (mass spectrometry), the batch, the dates and the chemist who signed it.
What does 99.99% purity mean on a CoA?
Of everything the UV detector picked up, 99.99% was the named peptide. The figure comes from the peak list on page 1 of the certificate.
What does the mass spectrometry result prove?
That it is the right molecule. The lab weighs it and compares the result with its known mass. For retatrutide: 4,728.47 Da expected, 4,728.54 Da measured.
Who tests UK Peptides products?
An independent analytical lab, not us. Its name, address and the chemist who signed the report are printed on every certificate.
Does the certificate show how much powder is in the vial?
This older 10mg report does not. The eighteen updated Clarion Laboratories reports quantify compound content per vial against reference standards, with uncertainty; that is not the total weight of powder.
Where do I find the certificate for my product?
On every product page except those of new products still waiting on their lab report (currently 12 newer products), and all of them are together in Lab Reports.
