- The table below distills the key differences between authentic research-grade SS-LUP-332 and compromised or counterfeit material. Use this as a procurement decision framework.
- Purity Certification
- Batch-specific HPLC showing >98% purity with chromatogram and date stamp
- Generic certificate with no batch number or date, or no certification at all
- HPLC is baseline—without it, you're buying an unknown mixture
- Mass Spectrometry
- MS report confirming exact molecular weight (±0.5 Da) for the shipped batch
- No MS data, or MS report from a different batch/date
- MS catches synthesis errors HPLC misses—mandatory for sequence verification
- Amino Acid Analysis
- AAA report quantifying each residue, confirming sequence fidelity
- No AAA provided (too expensive for low-quality suppliers)
- AAA is the gold standard for detecting substitution errors
- Endotoxin Testing
- LAL assay showing <0.1 EU/mg, batch-specific
- No endotoxin data or levels above 1.0 EU/mg
- Endotoxin contamination confounds in vivo and cell culture studies—non-negotiable
- Cold Chain Documentation
- Temperature data logger or visual indicator confirming −20°C throughout shipping
- No cold pack, ambient shipping, or no temperature documentation
- A single heat excursion above 8°C can denature peptide structure irreversibly
- Reconstitution Protocol
- Detailed instructions specifying solvent, concentration, and storage post-reconstitution
- No protocol, or generic
