Purity Testing

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis to determine peptide purity levels. We measure the percentage of target peptide versus impurities, degradation products, and related substances.

• Detection limits: Down to 0.01% impurities
• Turnaround time: 9-11 business days
• Methods: RP-HPLC, Ion-Exchange HPLC
• Deliverables: Purity percentage, chromatogram, impurity profile

Molecular Analysis

Mass spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for molecular weight determination and structure verification.

• Techniques: ESI-MS, LC-MS/MS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR
• Accuracy: ±0.01% molecular weight determination
• Turnaround time: 7-10 business days
• Capabilities: Structure elucidation, post-translational modifications

Contaminant Testing

Comprehensive screening for heavy metals and residual solvents to ensure peptide safety and compliance with regulatory standards.

• Heavy metals: ICP-MS analysis (Pb, As, Cd, Hg, etc.)
• Microbial testing: USP sterility testing, bioburden analysis
• Residual solvents: GC-MS analysis per ICH Q3C guidelines

Stability Testing

Long-term and accelerated stability studies to determine peptide shelf life, optimal storage conditions, and degradation profiles under various environmental conditions.

• Conditions: 2-8°C, 25°C/60% RH, 40°C/75% RH
• Duration: Real-time (up to 24 months), Accelerated (3-6 months)
• Parameters: Purity, potency, degradation products, pH, appearance
• Standards: ICH Q1A(R2) guidelines

Third-Party Verification

Independent verification of peptide quality from external suppliers. Confirms identity, purity, and absence of contaminants through unbiased testing.

• Blind testing available
• Certificate of Analysis (CoA) validation
• Comparison testing against reference standards
• Quality assurance documentation

Custom Analysis

Tailored testing protocols designed to meet specific client requirements, regulatory needs, or research objectives. Flexible methodology development.

• Method development and validation
• Specialized peptide characterization
• Regulatory compliance testing
• Research and development support

What is peptide purity testing?

Peptide purity testing measures the percentage of the desired peptide sequence in a sample relative to impurities, truncated sequences, and degradation products using analytical techniques like HPLC.

How long does testing take?

Standard testing turnaround is 5-10 business days depending on the analysis type.

What sample size is required?

Minimum sample requirements vary by test: 1-5 mg for purity testing, 2-10 mg for molecular analysis, 10-50 mg for comprehensive characterization.

Do you provide certificates of analysis?

Yes, all testing includes a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with test results, methodologies, equipment used, and analyst signatures.

Are your methods validated?

All analytical methods are validated according to ICH guidelines and FDA recommendations for accuracy, precision, specificity, linearity, and robustness.
