Overview

Why the date on a COA is one of the most important fields. This guide is part of the Push for Peptides research hub and is provided for research-use and informational purposes only. It does not include dosage, human-use instructions, or medical claims.

Why this matters for COA review

When reviewing publicly available testing records, focus on whether the record clearly identifies the product, the supplier, a batch or lot number, a testing date, and a testing method. Records that omit these fields are harder to interpret.

How to apply it

  • Match the product name on the record to the listing.
  • Confirm a batch or lot number is present.
  • Check how recent the testing date is.
  • Note the testing method, such as HPLC or LC-MS.
  • Look for any publicly reported purity or amount.

Neutral, not an endorsement

Push for Peptides does not rank suppliers or endorse any listing. Use the COA analysis directory and supplier directory to compare records neutrally.
