Quality Control Policy — Strikepoint Peptides

Quality Control Policy

No shortcuts.No compromises.

Every compound we ship is independently verified for purity, identity, and integrity. Here is exactly how we do it — and what we guarantee.

Section 01

Sourcing &Intake.

Quality begins before a compound ever enters our facility. Supplier selection is not a cost decision — it is a standards decision.

Supplier Qualification

We source exclusively from manufacturers operating under current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards. Every supplier in our network is evaluated for synthesis methodology, documentation standards, and demonstrated track record before any compound is accepted for sale.

Intake Inspection

Every batch received undergoes intake inspection before entering inventory. We verify packaging integrity, lot documentation, and preliminary identity against supplier-provided specifications. Any batch with irregularities in documentation or physical condition is quarantined and not released for sale.

Lot Traceability

Every compound is assigned a lot number at intake. This number is maintained through testing, storage, fulfillment, and published on the Certificate of Analysis. If a question ever arises about a specific product, the entire chain of custody can be traced back to the original batch.

Section 02

HPLCVerification.

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography is the industry standard for peptide purity analysis. We use it on every batch, with no exceptions.

How HPLC Works

A sample from each batch is injected into an HPLC system and separated by its chemical components under high pressure. Each component produces a distinct peak on the chromatogram. Purity is calculated by measuring the target peptide’s peak area as a percentage of total peak area across the entire sample.

Our Threshold

Every batch must meet a minimum purity of 99%+ by HPLC before it is released for sale. Batches that fall below this threshold are rejected — not discounted, not relabeled, not sold. Rejected batches are destroyed.

Parameter Specification Status
Minimum purity ≥99.0% by HPLC Required
Typical result 99.2% – 99.8% Pass
Testing frequency Every batch 100%
Lab type Independent, USA-based 3rd Party
Why third-party? Self-reported purity numbers have no independent verification. We use external laboratories precisely because the results cannot be influenced by commercial interest. You get the number the lab got — not the number we want you to see.
Section 03

Mass SpecIdentity.

Purity alone does not confirm identity. Mass spectrometry verifies that what is in the vial is exactly what is on the label.

Why Identity Confirmation Matters

A sample can be 99.9% pure and still be the wrong compound. HPLC measures purity — it does not confirm what the compound actually is. Mass spectrometry closes this gap by providing a definitive molecular fingerprint.

How Mass Spectrometry Works

The compound is ionized and accelerated through a mass analyzer. The resulting mass-to-charge ratio produces a spectrum unique to that molecule’s molecular weight and fragmentation pattern. This is compared against the theoretical spectrum for the target peptide. A match confirms identity with high confidence.

HPLC tells us
How pure the compound is. Percentage of target peptide vs. impurities in the sample.
MS tells us
What the compound actually is. Molecular weight and fragmentation pattern matched against the target peptide.

Together, these two methods provide the most comprehensive pre-shipment verification available in the RUO peptide space. Both are conducted on every batch, by the same independent laboratory.

Section 04

Certificateof Analysis.

Every batch has a COA. Every COA is published. No exceptions, no cherry-picking.

What a COA Contains

Each Certificate of Analysis documents the complete testing record for a specific batch. It is issued by the independent laboratory — not written by us — and published here exactly as received.

  • Product name and lot number
  • HPLC purity percentage with chromatogram
  • Mass spectrometry identity confirmation
  • Testing laboratory name and accreditation
  • Test date and batch-specific reference number

How to Access COAs

All COAs are published on our Certificate of Analysis page, organized by product. You can view and download the full report for any batch we have shipped. No login required.

Our commitment: If a batch result comes back below our 99% threshold, that result is still published — alongside a note that the batch was rejected and not sold. Transparency means showing the full record, not just the passing grades.
Section 05

Storage &Handling.

Purity verified at the lab can be degraded by poor storage. We treat handling as an extension of quality control, not a logistics afterthought.

Cold Storage Protocol

All lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides are stored at −20°C in controlled-environment conditions from intake through fulfillment. Temperature logs are maintained. Products are never stored at ambient temperature during the holding period.

Packaging Standards

Each vial is sealed under inert atmosphere to minimize oxidative degradation. Packaging materials are selected for chemical compatibility with the compounds they contain. Blended products are individually sealed by component where stability profiles differ.

Fulfillment Handling

Orders are picked and packed in a controlled environment. For time-sensitive or temperature-sensitive shipments, appropriate cold-chain packaging is used. Once transferred to the carrier, our handling responsibility ends — which is why we select carriers with reliable track records for the product categories we ship.

Condition Standard
Storage temperature −20°C (lyophilized peptides)
Atmosphere Inert gas sealed
Facility type Controlled environment
Carrier selection USPS / UPS — destination dependent
The StrikepointStandard.
Three principles that define how we operate. Non-negotiable. Not aspirational — operational.
Principle 01
Independent verification only
We do not self-report purity. Every number on every COA comes from a third-party laboratory with no financial interest in the result. If we can’t verify it externally, we don’t sell it.
Principle 02
Every batch, not select batches
Spot-testing is not quality control — it is quality theater. We test every single batch before it ships. There is no inventory that has not been through the full verification process.
Principle 03
Full publication, no exceptions
COAs are published as issued. We do not selectively publish only passing results. Rejected batches are documented, noted, and not sold. The record is complete and public.
Purity Guarantee

We standbehind it.

If independent third-party testing at a licensed facility returns a purity result below the labeled specification for any product you’ve purchased from us, we will make it right — no arguments, no bureaucracy.

Submit your third-party COA with your order details and we will review within 48 business hours.

Submit a Claim
Full product cost refunded
If verified below labeled purity, we refund the full purchase price of the affected product.
Reasonable testing fees covered
We cover reasonable third-party testing costs required to substantiate the claim.
No return required
You keep the product. The claim is settled on documentation alone — no return shipping required.
48-hour response
All claims reviewed within 48 business hours of submission with supporting documentation.
