Flexible Testing, Uncompromising Standards.

Order any test individually or save with a bundled full panel. Regardless of whether you send one vial or fifty, the same instruments, methods, and quality controls are applied to every sample.

Because reliable data should depend on the science, not the size of the order.

Core Assays

Purity and Identity

HPLC

RP-HPLC Purity Analysis

Purity is measured by HPLC-DAD. The certificate reports the main peak as a percentage of total peak area.

  • Purity percentage (area % main peak)
  • UV detection at research-standard wavelengths
  • Vendor claim and lot screening
ID

FTIR-ATR · CE-UV · Raman Identity

Identity is confirmed by FTIR-ATR, CE-UV, Raman, and UV-Vis spectroscopy against reference spectra for the claimed peptide - not a purity number alone.

  • Confirmed vs reference on COA
  • Substitution / wrong-compound risk control
  • Paired with HPLC-DAD purity
Contaminant Screening

Elemental Impurities & Bacterial Endotoxins

Elemental impurities (often called heavy metals) and bacterial endotoxins are reported with method identifiers suitable for research and vendor QA packages.

CS

Elemental Impurities (Heavy Metals)

Method: Colorimetric screening for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury.

  • Analytes: arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb)
  • Reporting: concentration (e.g. µg/g or ppm) with method notes on the COA
  • Why it matters: residual metals from synthesis reagents, catalysts, or equipment
LAL

Bacterial Endotoxin Testing

Method: Kinetic chromogenic Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxins from Gram-negative bacteria.

  • Reporting: endotoxin units (EU/mg or EU/mL), method stated on COA
  • Aligned with: USP <85> bacterial endotoxins test principles
  • Why it matters: process / handling contamination risk for research materials
Recommended Packages

Build the Right Panel

Most clients start with purity + identity, then add elemental impurities and/or endotoxin screening when supplier QA requires it.

Assay / Package What It Answers Output on COA Typical Use
Basic COA - $250 Is it the claimed compound, and how pure? Identity + purity % (FTIR-ATR, CE-UV, Raman, UV-Vis) Batch QC, claim verification
Endotoxin Screen - $150 Is bacterial endotoxin within limit? EU/mg (LAL kinetic) Contamination screening
Elemental Impurities - $100 Are Pb, As, Cd, Hg elevated? ppm via colorimetric screening Synthesis residue / supplier QA
Full Panel - $500 Identity, purity, endotoxin, and metals in one report Combined COA + public ID Full vendor / research documentation
Rush testing - $175 / vial Need results faster than the 72-hour target? Priority queue - 24 business hours from receipt Add-on to any panel or test
Common questions

Peptide testing FAQ

Is PacifiCOAnalytics the same as Pacific COA Analytics?

Yes. PacifiCOAnalytics is also written Pacific COA Analytics, Pacifico Analytics, or Pacific COA. The legal company is PACIFICOANALYTICS INC. The website is pacificoanalytics.ca.

Do you sell peptides?

No. PacifiCOAnalytics is an independent laboratory. We test samples you ship to us. We do not sell, manufacture, or distribute peptides or any other materials.

What does a Basic COA include?

Identity confirmation (FTIR-ATR, CE-UV, Raman, and UV-Vis against reference spectra) and purity by HPLC-DAD. Results are issued as a certificate of analysis and can be listed on the public COA lookup.

How long does testing take?

Standard target is 72 hours from laboratory receipt. That is an estimate, not a guarantee. Rush testing (24 business hours) is available at $175 per vial.

Where do you accept samples from?

Samples are accepted from Canada, the USA, Europe, and China. Testing is for research and quality documentation only, not for human or veterinary use.

Can anyone verify a certificate?

Yes. Released certificates are posted to the public COA lookup. Anyone can check a report ID without logging in.
