What an independent laboratory tests, how to find the certificate for a specific lot number, and how to confirm that certificate with the laboratory that issued it.
Each lot is sent to an independent United States laboratory before it is released. Reports are issued by ILS Laboratories (San Diego) or Freedom Diagnostics Testing. NovaForge Labs does not test its own material.
Mass spectrometry or HPLC retention match confirms the material is the compound named on the label.
HPLC with UV detection reports purity as a percentage, read from the chromatogram attached to the report.
The measured amount of material in the vial, compared with the labelled amount.
The report carries a certificate number and the lot number printed on the vial.
Some reports also list additional screening panels. Where a panel was run, its result is printed on that report.
Every vial carries a lot number, and every shipping confirmation includes it with a direct link. The public COA registry lists current and earlier reports for each material. No login is needed.
Step 1. Match the lot number on the certificate to the lot number on the vial.
Step 2. Compare the measured mass on the report with the published molecular mass of the compound. A reference table with sources is available from The Peptide Review.
Step 3. Enter the certificate number or access code on the laboratory's own website to open the laboratory's copy. A PDF can be edited. The laboratory's record cannot.
A longer walk-through is in How to verify a certificate of analysis is genuine.
A certificate of analysis describes the sample that was tested: what it is, how pure it is, and how much is present. It does not establish that a material is safe or suitable for any use in humans or animals, and NovaForge Labs makes no such claim.
PeptideBenchmark, an independent reviewer, checks vendor certificates against laboratory records and publishes what it finds, including gaps. Its review of NovaForge Labs is published here.
