Certificates of analysis, decoded. Post the whole document, not the headline number.
CPC semaglutide 10mg. COA says 96.8%, method line says "HPLC", batch and date both present. Nothing cropped, whole page. Everyone in here talks about 98 and 99 like…
I have typed some version of this comment about four hundred times so it is going in one place. Area% is the main peak as a fraction of total UV absorbance across all…
Short answer, for anyone who finds this from a search: no. Longer version. A COA from an actual laboratory is exported from instrument software or from a LIMS. The PDF…
FGP cagrilintide. The document has a compound name, a purity figure, a logo, and a signature image. No batch number. No date of analysis. No method beyond the word…
Vendor-level purity averages over time, built from independent results rather than vendor claims. Transparent methodology, open dataset.
Browse resultsRan these on the same day, same method, same column, injections back to back. One is GL Biochem raw material, one is a reseller vial of nominally the same compound and…
I have had 21 orders now and I keep a table, so here is the honest summary rather than a vibe. Material has been consistent. Communication has not. Shipping has varied…
Following on from the area% thread, because the same confusion turns up in a second form. People read a 10mg vial at 99% purity and conclude they have 9.9mg of peptide.…
Confession thread, sort of. I went from 7.5mg to 2.4mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 6 weeks…
Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles. The claim: COA matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have…
Been lurking in c/survodutide for about 14 months and finally have something worth posting. Short version: week 15, 1.7mg, and COA is the bit I still cannot get a…
Right, the certificate of analysis question again, but with numbers this time. I have 12 data points over 36 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think…
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful. Setup: 0.5mg, week 81, injection-site soreness present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one…
Week 29 update. 10kg down from the start, early fullness basically gone since about week 81. Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I…
purity. That is the whole post, but I will justify it. Everything else people worry about in c/sideeffects is downstream of it. Titration speed, muscle cramps, the…
Right, the related substances question again, but with numbers this time. I have 19 data points over 10 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it…
Reference standards, analytical reagents and system-suitability material. If you are running your own method, start with a known.
Reference standardsGenuinely asking, not being difficult. Everyone in c/scamalerts repeats that batch is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search…
Week 11 update. 22kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 51. Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I…
Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles. The claim: water content matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both…
Confession thread, sort of. I went from 1.0mg to 15mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 14 weeks…
Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful. Setup: 10mg, week 38, sulphur burps present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable —…
Genuinely asking, not being difficult. Everyone in c/scamalerts repeats that area percent is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I…
Right, the certificate of analysis question again, but with numbers this time. I have 4 data points over 16 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think…

How to read a certificate of analysis and what it does and does not tell you. Area% versus mass%, identity versus quantity, water content, related substances, acetate counterions, and the difference between a vendor-supplied COA and an independent test on the vial you actually received.
Certified reference materials for peptide identity and purity work.
