What HPLC Purity Actually Means

“99% pure” is the single most quoted number on a peptide certificate and the most commonly misunderstood. It answers a narrower question than most people assume, and it doesn’t answer several other questions people assume it answers. This article is about what the number is actually measuring, and, just as important, what it isn’t testing […]

Beyond Purity: Endotoxin, Sterility and Heavy Metals

A certificate reporting identity and purity has answered two questions: is this the compound it claims to be, and how much of what’s detected is that compound versus byproducts of synthesis. It has not addressed three other categories of contamination that are chemically and biologically unrelated to purity and require entirely separate tests to detect. […]

Does a 5 mg Vial Contain 5 mg of Peptide?

Net peptide content, counter-ions and residual water mean the label mass and the peptide mass are different numbers. The arithmetic worked through, and why the error never averages out.

How to Verify a Peptide Certificate of Analysis Is Real

Reading a COA and trusting one are different problems. The four ways a certificate can be false, the checks that catch each, and why purity alone never confirms identity.

How to Read a Peptide HPLC Certificate of Analysis

What a COA actually reports, how to read an HPLC chromatogram, the difference between purity and net peptide content, and the warning signs of a certificate that means nothing.

Storing Research Peptides: Temperature, Light and the Freeze-Thaw Problem

What actually degrades a peptide, what each storage temperature buys you, why freeze-thaw cycles cost more than people expect, and where published stability figures stop being useful.
