What is a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?
High-quality peptides typically undergo third-party testing to verify their sequence, identity, and purity. Vendors use analytical methods like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to ensure purity levels of 98% or higher. A COA is a technical laboratory report that details specific test results for a given batch, including purity percentage, mass spectrum, and contaminants.
Are peptides legal to purchase?
Yes, in the United States and most regions, lyophilized peptides sold explicitly as chemicals for laboratory research are legally available.
