- Before presenting the comparison table, understand what each quality marker actually tests. HPLC purity measures percentage of target compound in the sample. Mass spectrometry confirms correct molecular weight (correct sequencing). Endotoxin testing detects bacterial contamination. Sterility testing confirms absence of viable microorganisms. Batch-specific COAs prove the certificate matches your vial. Independent lab verification means testing performed by a third party, not the manufacturer.
- HPLC Purity Verification
- ≥98% per batch, published chromatogram
- '99% purity' claimed, no chromatogram
- ≥95% claimed, generic COA
- Not disclosed
- Real Peptides provides visual proof via chromatogram; competitors rely on unverifiable claims
- Mass Spectrometry Confirmation
- Yes. 848.87 Da confirmed per batch
- Rarely performed
- Not standard
- No
- MS is the only method that proves correct amino-acid sequencing. Without it, you're trusting supplier claims
- Endotoxin Testing (LAL)
- <1 EU/mg per batch
- 'Low endotoxin' claimed
- Not tested
- Undetected endotoxin >5 EU/mg confounds cell culture research; only Real Peptides provides per-batch results
- Sterility Testing
- USP <71> compliant
- Critical for in vivo research; contamination introduces confounding immune activation
- Batch-Specific COA
- Yes. Published on product page before purchase
- Generic COA, no batch match
- Available on request only
- No COA provided
- Without batch traceability, the COA may represent different material than what you receive
- Independent Lab Verification
- Yes. Third-party labs (named on COA)
- In-house testing only
- Supplier COA (not independent)
- No verification
- Independent verification removes conflict of interest; in-house testing lacks accountability
- Storage Conditions
- Lyophilised, argon atmosphere, amber vial, desiccant, −20°C
- Standard clear vial, room temp shipping
- Clear vial, refrigerated shipping
- Unclear
- Light and oxygen exposure during shipping degrades tryptophan residues; Real Peptides prevents this
- Reconstitution Guidance
- Detailed protocol with pH and solvent recommendations
- Generic 'add sterile water'
- None provided
- None
- Improper reconstitution (wrong pH, wrong solvent) denatures peptides irreversibly
