- Synthesis Method
- In-house SPPS with per-residue coupling verification
- Contract manufacturer (undisclosed origin)
- Contract manufacturer (China-sourced bulk)
- Custom synthesis per order (variable quality)
- In-house synthesis allows real-time quality control that resellers cannot match
- Purity Verification
- HPLC-MS on every batch before release, COA includes chromatogram + mass spec
- Generic COA from manufacturer, no batch-specific testing
- COA provided on request, often months old
- Batch-specific HPLC available, MS confirmation inconsistent
- Batch-level HPLC-MS is non-negotiable for research-grade peptides
- Stated Purity
- ≥98% by HPLC peak integration
- '95–99%' (method unspecified)
- '98%+' (UV absorbance only)
- ≥95% by HPLC
- UV purity inflates results. Only HPLC + MS confirms target peptide
- Endotoxin Testing
- <1 EU/mg per batch (LAL assay)
- Not disclosed
- Not tested
- Available on request (added cost)
- Endotoxin contamination disrupts cell assays. Essential for in vitro work
- Shipping & Storage
- Ships lyophilized at −20°C with desiccant, COA dated <30 days
- Ships ambient temperature, COA date unclear
- Ships refrigerated, no desiccant
- Variable per supplier policy
- Peptides degrade rapidly above −20°C. Ambient shipping risks hydrolysis
- Traceability
- Batch number traces to synthesis date, resin lot, purification run
- Batch number traces to reseller receipt date only
- No batch traceability provided
- Synthesis records available (proprietary access)
- Full traceability from amino acids to final vial is the gold standard
