Peptide Trace

Purity is a number. Read the trace.

We rank research peptide vendors on what they can document: an outside lab report, a batch number that matches it, and a stated method. Each ranking shows its working.

Purity on file is the figure a vendor publishes or shows on a certificate. Each review says which. Scoring: pass is 2 points, partial is 1, fail is 0, across the three document checks.

How a vendor earns a peak

The ranking is a checklist. Each criterion is something you can look up in the vendor's own documents.

An outside lab wrote the report
A vendor's own bench report shows what the vendor believes. An independent lab report shows what was measured.
The report names the batch you would receive
A lab result only counts for the vial in front of you if its batch number matches the label.
The method is stated
HPLC shows how much of the sample is the target compound. Mass spectrometry shows whether that compound has the right mass. We record which ones were run.
The figure is reproducible
Vendors that publish the raw trace, not just a percentage, let a reader check the number for themselves.
