No certificates are published yet.
Each batch's certificate appears here, with its own page, as soon as it is loaded. Until then, ask us for the certificate of the batch you are buying.
Finding a batch
You already hold the batch number in three places: every vial, its box, and our delivery note. Searching by it finds the entry at once; the product and strength filters help when the number is not to hand. Should the certificate show a different number from any of the three, keep the box closed and send the delivery note number to us through the contact page.
Reading a batch entry
| Field | Read it for |
|---|---|
| Product, strength, batch number | Matching the entry to the vial in your hand |
| Date of manufacture; expiry or retest date | The batch's age, and how long the manufacturer's figures hold |
| HPLC purity | The percentage taken from the chromatogram |
| Mass spectrometry | Confirmation that the molecule has the mass its sequence predicts |
| Net peptide content; water content | The make-up of the powder by weight, when measured |
| Endotoxin; appearance | Present only if the manufacturer ran those tests |
| Tested by | The name of the analysing laboratory |
| Files | The manufacturer's own PDF, with any independent report beside it |
An empty line would invite a guess, so a test the manufacturer did not run reads "not tested". Each figure belongs to its own batch; none is carried over from an earlier one.
The three statuses
- Released: cleared by the manufacturer and in supply now.
- Advisory: in supply, with a note that applies before any stock from it is used. The note is printed on the entry.
- Withdrawn: out of supply. We keep the entry, with the reason recorded, for anyone who still has stock from that batch.
Who issues the certificate
Each certificate is the manufacturer's own document, written at release. Our role is supplier, so the PDF you download is that document exactly as it reached us. A batch that an independent laboratory has also examined carries a second file on the same entry, under the other laboratory's name and marked independent. The limits of each method are set out under how batches are tested.
A certificate is not a registration
Certificates and registrations do different jobs. In Iraq, medicines are registered with the federal Ministry of Health, and the National Center for Drug Control and Research tests products for registration and examines batches. Nothing in this library stands in for that process. However high a purity figure is, it does not make a research-grade product suitable for use in people or animals.
After the day of analysis
A certificate fixes the batch as it stood when tested. Its later history sits in other records: the storage condition on the label and the dates on the delivery note. That part of the file is covered on delivery and storage.
Cosmetic ingredients
For the two cosmetic ingredients, GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) and Acetyl Octapeptide-3, each lot has its certificate too. At goods-in, a cosmetic company can match the lot number on the container to the entry here. In federal Iraq, imported cosmetics also need a Certificate of Conformity under the Conformity Assessment Programme, a different document again, explained in importing cosmetics into Iraq. The Kurdistan Region runs a separate scheme.
Questions on certificates
- When can I see a batch's certificate?
With the goods: the certificate for your batch is packed in the carton, and you can ask us for it.
- Do deliveries include certificates?
Always. One copy per batch is packed in the carton, and the same batch numbers appear on the delivery note.
- What checks show a certificate is real?
Four, and none takes long. Its batch number is the one on your vial. Its manufacture date falls before its expiry date. A laboratory is named on it. Its measured mass is close to the mass the sequence predicts: the range gives every product's sequence and formula, and the peptide calculator returns the mass. For a full walk through every line, see reading a certificate of analysis.
