Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice.
Community-verified vendors for certificates of analysis: I maintain a spreadsheet of Janoshik-verified test results submitted by community members. Across 48 submitted tests:
- 85% tested at ≥98% purity
- 10% tested at 95-98% purity
- 5% tested at <95% purity (concerning)
The vendors with consistently high purity results are listed in the Vendor Directory. We update monthly based on new community submissions.

Reconstituted peptide stability data for certificates of analysis: I had Janoshik test my reconstituted vial at day 1, day 14, and day 28 stored in the refrigerator.
Day 1: 99.0% purity
Day 14: 98.3% purity
Day 28: 98.4% purity
Minimal degradation over 28 days when properly refrigerated. This confirms the standard 28-day beyond-use date is appropriate. Beyond 28 days, I'd reconstitute a fresh vial to be safe.

Thank you — that is the clearest version of this I have read, and I have read a lot of them.

Vendor quality matters when discussing certificates of analysis. I've tested my last 4 batches through Janoshik and purity has ranged from 97.1% to 100.5%. Consistency is key.
For anyone new: always request the COA, and consider independent verification. The $300 for a Janoshik test is worth the peace of mind.
Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful. Report rather than reply if it drifts again.
