Peptide Lab Report & CoA Authenticity Auditor
Surging grey-market and viral peptide vendors frequently distribute counterfeit Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), mislabeled sequences, or vials cut with fillers. Audit HPLC chromatograms, mass spectrometry m/z peaks, and CoA security checks to detect fake or sub-potent vials.

Light Regulation Loophole
Under federal law, peptides sold labeled as “Research Chemicals — Not for Human Consumption” bypass FDA pre-market safety, CGMP sterility standards, and mandatory batch-level release testing. Venders exploit this to distribute unchecked powders through corner stores, gas stations, and online forums.
HPLC Purity vs. Identity
A high HPLC purity percentage alone (e.g. 99.5%) only means 99.5% of whatever chemical is in the tube eluted as a single sharp peak. It does not prove identity. If an overseas factory fills vials with insulin, mannitol, or truncated fragments, a basic HPLC test can still read 99% pure non-target compound without paired Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).
Critical CoA Forgery Clues
Common counterfeit patterns uncovered by lab journalists include photoshopped customer names, identical chromatogram baseline noise reused across separate peptide families, QR codes that route to self-hosted landing pages rather than accredited testing portals (e.g., Janoshik, MZ Biolabs), and complete omission of bacterial endotoxins.
