Why Lab Testing Is Important
We third-party lab test every product with Forever Young Pharmacy in Carlsbad, California — for purity, endotoxins, heavy metals, and bacteria. Here’s why that matters — and how to read the COAs we publish for full transparency.
A professional laboratory partner providing RP-HPLC/UPLC with UV detection and mass-spec identity checks where applicable. Each report includes method details, chromatograms, batch/lot, analyst sign-off, and date.
Ensuring Quality & Transparency in Peptide Testing
Researchers deserve products backed by rigorous, modern analytics — not vague promises. Our program emphasizes method transparency, professional oversight, and COAs that actually tell the whole story.
1) Why Are COAs Important?
A Certificate of Analysis confirms identity, purity, and quality. Complete COAs let you validate methods and results before your experiment — protecting time, budget, and outcomes.
- Confirms identity with method + result.
- Reports purity with chromatograms (peaks labeled/time/area%).
- Lists lot/batch, lab, analyst, date, and signatures.
2) High-End vs Generic Testing
- HPLC / UPLC — sharp resolution, sensitive impurity detection, faster analysis.
- UV detection — chromatograms visualize separation & purity.
- Mass spectrometry (MS) — confirms molecular identity and expected mass.
- Performed by trained analysts with documented QC.
- Titration / IR / TLC — useful basics, but inadequate for low-level impurities.
- Outdated equipment, limited resolution, missing visual data.
- Inconsistent reporting; purity claims without method detail.
3) How to Read & Interpret a COA
- Methodology: Look for HPLC/UPLC + UV, with MS for identity confirmation.
- Purity %: Reported clearly, ideally with impurity breakdowns.
- Chromatograms: Distinct labeled peaks with times and % areas.
- Identity match: MS expected vs measured mass aligned.
- Authority: Signed by a qualified chemist/analyst with date and lot.
4) What Sets Certified-Pep Apart
- Advanced methods on every product: HPLC/UPLC + UV; MS for identity when applicable.
- Transparent COAs: chromatograms, impurity profiles, batch/lab details.
- Published results: access COAs before you buy in the COA Library.
5) Educating & Empowering Researchers
- Clear guidance on reading COAs and spotting red flags.
- Consistent reporting standards across products.
- Support team ready to pull docs and answer testing questions.
6) Partners & Process Integrity
We work with labs that share our commitment to precision, documentation, and speed — so your research starts with verified inputs and fewer surprises downstream.
