Educational guides for laboratory researchers
Plain-language guides on handling, storage, analytics, and documentation. None of this is medical advice — these are operational notes for the lab.
Handling
Peptide Storage & Stability
How to store lyophilized research peptides to preserve integrity — temperatures, freeze-thaw, aliquoting, and the three factors that degrade peptides fastest.

How to Read a Certificate of Analysis (COA)
A COA is the clearest proof that a vial matches its label. Here is how to read each section — HPLC purity, mass-spec identity, net peptide content, and batch traceability.

HPLC vs Mass Spectrometry
Two analytical methods answer two different questions about a research peptide. Here is what each one proves, and why a credible COA needs both.
