Every batch offered by AESTX Systems is therefore analysed by an independent third-party laboratory, and every report can be accessed directly from the laboratory. This page explains what we test, why, and how you can verify it yourself.<\/p>\n<h2>Why a Certificate of Analysis (COA) alone is not enough<\/h2>\n<p>Many suppliers advertise \u201cpurity\u201d and display a certificate. But purity is just <strong>one of three<\/strong> independent quality criteria. HPLC may show a peptide to have a purity of 99% or higher while it still contains endotoxins or heavy metals, which purity testing does not detect. Only the combination of three separate analyses provides a complete picture.<\/p>\n<h2>Our three-part analysis approach<\/h2>\n<p>Every tested batch at AESTX Systems undergoes up to three independent tests. All analyses are performed by <strong>Janoshik Analytical<\/strong> \u2014 an independent testing laboratory based in Prague and established within the research community.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Purity \u00b7 HPLC<\/h3>\n<p>High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separates the sample into its components and measures the percentage of the target peptide. All AESTX Systems peptides have a target purity of <strong>&ge;&nbsp;99&nbsp;%<\/strong> . For comparison, scientific literature considers <strong>&ge;&nbsp;95&nbsp;%<\/strong> to be good and <strong>&ge;&nbsp;98&nbsp;%<\/strong> to be high purity.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Endotoxins \u00b7 LAL test<\/h3>\n<p>Endotoxins are residues of bacterial cell walls. Standard sterilisation does not destroy them, and they require a dedicated test: the LAL test (Limulus amebocyte lysate), reported in EU\/mg. In research, <strong>&lt;&nbsp;1&nbsp;EU\/mg<\/strong> is considered a conservative reference value, and <strong>&lt;&nbsp;0,1&nbsp;EU\/mg<\/strong> for particularly sensitive applications. Detectable trace amounts are normal and reflect the sensitivity of the measurement.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Heavy metals \u00b7 ICP-MS<\/h3>\n<p>ICP mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detects even minute quantities of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium or mercury \u2014 residues that may originate from raw materials or synthesis and are not detected by HPLC. The reference is the <strong>ICH&nbsp;Q3D<\/strong>limits for elemental impurities.<\/p>\n<h2>Verifiability: check for yourself<\/h2>\n<p>The key difference: our Certificates of Analysis are independently verifiable. Every report carries a unique <strong>task number<\/strong> and can be accessed directly from the laboratory through Janoshik\u2019s verification portal. This lets you independently confirm that a report is authentic and corresponds to the batch you receive.<\/p>\n<p>For an overview of our current batch-specific analyses, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/aestx-systems.com\/en\/coa\/\">Lab analyses &amp; COAs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Our quality commitment at a glance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u226599% purity<\/strong> \u2014 confirmed by HPLC for each batch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Independent third-party laboratory analysis<\/strong> by Janoshik Analytical.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Up to three separate tests<\/strong> per batch: purity, endotoxins and heavy metals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Verifiable reports<\/strong> with a unique task number, accessible directly from the laboratory.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Full transparency<\/strong> backed by evidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why we disclose this information<\/h2>\n<p>The research peptide market is difficult to navigate, and quality can be hard for non-specialists to assess.
