// Testing & Quality
How do I verify my product's COA?
Every vial label includes a QR code that links directly to that lot's Certificate of Analysis from Kovera Labs. You can also browse the full COA library on our Certificates page. Every result shows purity, identity, potency, endotoxin levels, and heavy metals for your specific production lot.
What is your 5-point QC panel?
Every production lot is tested for: (1) Purity via HPLC-MS — minimum 99% required for release; (2) Identity — sequence confirmation against reference standard; (3) Potency — net content verification; (4) Endotoxins — LAL assay with threshold <1.0 EU/mg; (5) Heavy metals — ICP-MS screening, ND required for release.
What facilities are your compounds produced in?
All compounds are produced in cGMP-certified, FDA-audited manufacturing facilities. Every production run goes through our full 5-point QC panel before being released for sale. We do not source from unverified or unapproved manufacturers
Who is Kovera Labs?
Kovera Labs is our independent American third-party testing partner. They are ISO 17025 accredited and conduct HPLC-MS purity analysis, sequence identity confirmation, endotoxin testing, and heavy metals screening on every production lot before it is released for sale. Their results are published in our COA library.

Do you offer refunds or returns?
Due to the nature of research compounds, we evaluate returns on a case-by-case basis. If there is a quality or fulfillment issue with your order, contact us directly and we will make it right. Please review our full Refund Policy for details.
// Storage & Handling
How should I store my compounds?
Lyophilized (freeze-dried) compounds should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct light prior to reconstitution. Once reconstituted with reconstitution solution, store refrigerated and use within the timeframe noted on the COA. Refer to individual product documentation for compound-specific storage guidance.
What is reconstitution solution and do I need it?
Bacteriostatic water (reconstitution solution) is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which inhibits bacterial growth. It is used for reconstituting lyophilized research compounds. We carry Hospira-grade 30mL reconstitution solution vials in our shop.
