Testing and COA Evidence#

Public COA AvailabilityCOAs/QC datasheets are NOT publicly posted per product on anaspec.com. Per the vendor FAQ, a QC datasheet (testing attributes, method, acceptance criteria, QC results) ships with each peptide, and raw data can be provided upon request. Public product documents on the site are TDS/SDS PDFs.

HighSource: AnaSpec FAQ — Products & Services

Batch / Lot SpecificityQC documentation is issued per product/shipment (datasheet shipped with each peptide carries that peptide's QC results), not as a generic marketing certificate. No public per-lot COA archive or lot-lookup portal was located.

ModerateSource: AnaSpec FAQ — Products & Services

Independent Laboratory IdentityRoutine QC testing is performed in-house by AnaSpec at its Fremont facility (QC testing labs co-located at HQ). No independent third-party laboratory is identified for product COAs. Smithers Quality Assessments, Inc. is the independent ISO 9001 registrar — a QMS certifier, not a product-testing lab.

ModerateSource: AnaSpec company page

COA Verification StatusNot verifiable through any public portal — no COA verification or lookup mechanism exists on anaspec.com; raw QC data is available on request per the FAQ. The ISO 9001:2015 QMS certificate is a registrar-issued document (Smithers, cert #09.357.1) hosted on the vendor site.

ModerateSource: AnaSpec FAQ — Products & Services

Test RecencyOngoing testing program — per FAQ, catalog peptides are re-checked every 2 years from QC release date to confirm purity specification. ISO 9001:2015 certificate current (issued Dec 9, 2024; expires Dec 8, 2027); GMP compliance verification news dated April 17, 2024.

HighSource: AnaSpec FAQ — peptide re-check statement

Testing CoverageStandard QC on all custom and catalog research-grade peptides: appearance, purity by analytical HPLC (% peak area), identity by mass spec; catalog peptides also receive solubility testing. Optional add-ons on request: sequence confirmation, counterion content, metal content, endotoxin, bioburden. GMP QC individualized per request. (Vendor-stated.)

HighSource: AnaSpec FAQ — QC testing on research grade peptides

Evidence ConsistencyConsistent — quality claims (ISO 9001:2015 QMS; ISO 7 cleanrooms; GMP framed as parts of 21 CFR 210 and 211) are stated consistently across the homepage, company page, FAQ, and distributor listings, and the ISO claim is corroborated by the registrar-issued certificate. No contradictions found. One immaterial variance: two fax numbers across documents.
