You Cannot Put a Purity Figure on a Fraction
A tissue-derived preparation has no single sequence, mass or purity figure. What a certificate for a fraction can legitimately state, and what it cannot.

US regulatory status of research chemicals and how to evaluate a research peptide supplier.
A tissue-derived preparation has no single sequence, mass or purity figure. What a certificate for a fraction can legitimately state, and what it cannot.
Ask what a certificate proves and you land on a narrower question: was the material the instrument saw the material named on the report?
Testing destroys what it examines, so no batch is ever tested whole. Every certificate is therefore an inference: from a handful of units out to the population they came from.
A certificate reading 98.6 percent describes lot A. It does not describe lot B, and lot B is not a lesser version of the same thing…
A stability study is a designed experiment: samples held under defined conditions, tested at defined intervals, against a defined specification.
Picture a vial on a shelf carrying a single printed date and nothing that says what kind of date it is.
Ask a supplier one question and much of a certificate comes into focus: was an assay value determined, and if so, what material was it standardized against?
Check it yourself, in three moves An accreditation claim is one of the few things on a peptide report you can verify without contacting anybody.
Two vials of the same nominal mass can hold different amounts of peptide. Price per vial is not price per milligram, and the gap is often large.
The first few minutes after a shipment lands are when most correctable problems can still be caught. A short receiving routine is worth writing down and following every time.
Comparing an overseas supplier with a domestic one usually turns into a comparison of unit prices. That is the least informative axis.
Almost nothing a peptide supplier says about itself can be checked from the outside. What can be checked is the paperwork…
