Certificate of analysis

A document reporting the tests performed on one specific lot of a material, with their methods and results.

Last reviewed · Editorial policy

A certificate of analysis (COA) belongs to one lot. For a peptide it usually reports identity (by mass spectrometry) and chromatographic purity (by HPLC), and may add net peptide content, water content, counter-ion content or endotoxin.

The lot number on the certificate should match the lot number on the container. A certificate for a different lot, or one without a lot number, says nothing about the material in hand. The register of the shop's certificates is on the certificates of analysis page.
