Understanding Certificate of Analysis (CoA) Documents
What is a CoA?
A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is an independent laboratory document that verifies the identity, purity, and quality of a specific batch of research compound.
Key Metrics
HPLC Purity
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography measures the percentage of target compound versus impurities. PeptideLab requires ≥99% purity for all catalog compounds.
Mass Spectrometry Identity
Mass spec confirms the molecular weight matches the expected peptide sequence, verifying compound identity.
Batch ID
Every CoA is tied to a specific batch ID. Cross-reference the batch ID on your product label with our CoA Library.
How to Use CoA Documentation
Research Use Only
CoA documentation supports laboratory research workflows. Products are not approved for human or veterinary use.
