- Third-Party Testing
- Independent lab verification for every batch via HPLC and mass spec
- Manufacturer COAs with occasional spot-checking
- Self-reported purity claims without external validation
- Real Peptides' batch-specific external testing eliminates the 8–12% purity overstatement risk documented in pharmaceutical analysis studies
- Batch Documentation
- Lot-specific certificates linking tested sample to shipped vial
- Generic certificates from representative batches
- No traceability between testing and shipped product
- Only batch-specific documentation proves the tested peptide matches what arrives. Generic certificates are quality theatre
- Synthesis Method
- Small-batch solid-phase synthesis with real-time monitoring
- Large-batch automated synthesis with pooled QC
- Liquid-phase or hybrid methods optimised for speed
- Small-batch synthesis allows mid-process correction when coupling efficiency drops. Large-batch methods lock in early errors across entire production runs
- Amino-Acid Sequencing
- Confirmed via tandem MS/MS or Edman degradation
- Inferred from mass spec without direct sequencing
- Not performed
- LL-37's bioactivity depends on exact sequence. Mass alone doesn't catch conservative substitutions (Leu→Ile) that eliminate antimicrobial function
- Pricing Transparency
- Reflects true cost of verified synthesis and testing
- Variable depending on claimed purity tier
- Below-market rates indicate quality compromises
- Legitimate peptide synthesis has fixed minimum costs. Pricing 40% below competitors means purity, testing, or both were sacrificed
- Storage & Shipping
- Temperature-monitored cold chain with data logging
- Standard refrigerated shipping without tracking
- Ambient shipping with 'store refrigerated' labels
- Peptide stability during transit matters as much as synthesis quality. Temperature excursions above 8°C during shipping degrade lyophilised peptides faster than long-term storage errors
