Summary
In this episode, we break down exactly how to read a Certificate of Analysis step by step so you can understand what you’re actually looking at, not just the purity number. You’ll learn how to verify labs, match batch numbers, interpret HPLC results, and read chromatograms in a way that actually makes sense. We also go into the biggest red flags that can help you spot fake or reused COAs fast, including formatting issues, inconsistent data, and how to verify reports directly with labs. If you’re buying peptides or any research compounds, this is a must-know skill that can save you money and help you avoid low-quality or misrepresented products.
