Quality

Release testing, every lot.

Most of the catalog is manufactured for us by a United States contract manufacturer; the remainder is sourced from US suppliers. Every lot is tested by a third-party laboratory before it is offered and ships with a lot-specific certificate of analysis; the assays on that certificate vary by material and laboratory, and the coverage table below counts which. A per-product country of manufacture is not recorded, so no product page states one.

Assay coverage across the 29 published certificates

Counted from the certificates themselves. An assay absent from a certificate was not published for that lot; it does not follow that it was never run, and it does not follow that it was.

Specification and measured result

The release specification for purity is ≥ 99% by analytical HPLC. The certificate of analysis reports the value measured for the lot, not the specification limit, together with identity by mass spectrometry, net peptide content, water content, heavy metals, bioburden and endotoxin.

A lot that does not meet specification is not released. The release data for every released lot is published on this site against its lot number.

The release panel

Purity
Analytical HPLC, area percent of the main peak against the total integrated area.
Identity
ESI mass spectrometry; observed and theoretical mass both stated.
Net peptide content
HPLC against a reference standard; the peptide mass per container is stated on the certificate in addition to the fill weight.
Water and counter-ion
Karl Fischer water content; counter-ion content stated on the certificate.
Heavy metals, bioburden, endotoxin
Run when the laboratory's scope and the batch require it, and reported as measured values when they are. These are not on every published certificate — the coverage table below counts exactly which lots carry them.
Documentation
COA and SDS with every shipment; the release panel is published against the lot number on this site.

Quality policy

Four commitments

The quality procedures that apply to every lot we release.

01

Release testing on every lot

Each lot is tested before it is offered, and the values published for a lot are the values the laboratory measured for that lot. The assays on a certificate vary with the material and with the laboratory's scope — the coverage table below counts what the published certificates actually carry rather than promising a fixed panel. Where a panel was run by the manufacturer who released the batch rather than commissioned by us, the certificate says so and names them.

02

Out-of-specification lots are not released

A lot that does not meet its release specification is not released under any grade. It is quarantined and dispositioned according to our quality procedure.

03

Net peptide content is stated

The fill weight of a container includes residual water and counter-ion. The certificate states net peptide content and water content separately from the fill weight.

04

Lot-specific certificates

Every certificate of analysis is issued for a specific lot and carries that lot's measured results. Representative or historical certificates are not used.

Technical support

Scope of technical inquiries

Technical support covers the material as supplied: purity, analytical method, identity, stability, solubility, counter-ion content and storage conditions. Certificates of analysis, safety data sheets and release data are available for every lot.

The materials in this catalog are chemical reference materials for in-vitro laboratory research. No information on use in any living organism is provided, and inquiries outside the scope above are not answered.

Lot release data

Enter the lot number from the container label to retrieve the release data for that lot — the same results as on the certificate of analysis supplied with it.
