Documentation Package¶
Standard Documentation¶
Every order from PeptideSourceHub includes a complete documentation package. This is not optional — it is a standard part of every shipment, regardless of order size.
Core Documents¶
| Document | Content | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Certificate of Analysis (COA) | Batch-specific purity, MW, appearance, storage conditions | Quality verification — proves your batch meets specification |
| Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) | Compound identity, hazards, handling, storage, first aid | Safety compliance — required for laboratory receipt |
| Commercial Invoice | Product description, quantity, unit price, total, HS code | Customs clearance — required for import in all jurisdictions |
| Packing List | Contents by item, net/gross weight, dimensions | Logistics verification — carrier and warehouse receiving |
Extended Documentation (On Request)¶
Additional analytical documentation is available for regulated markets, GLP studies, or internal QA requirements:
| Document | Content | When Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Stability Data | Accelerated and real-time stability study results, degradation profile | Long-term storage validation; regulatory submissions |
| Residual Solvents Analysis | GC headspace analysis of residual solvents (ICH Q3C) | Regulated markets; internal solvent specifications |
| Endotoxin Testing | LAL (Limulus Amebocyte Lysate) assay results | Cell-based assays; in vivo research protocols |
| Elemental Impurities | ICP-MS analysis for heavy metals | USP <232>/<233> compliance |
| TFA Content | Ion chromatography for trifluoroacetic acid counterion | Dosing calculations; formulation work |
| Amino Acid Analysis | Quantitative amino acid composition | Net peptide content determination |
| Peptide Content | Net peptide weight (excluding counterions and water) | Accurate dosing for research protocols |
| Chiral Purity | Enantiomeric purity analysis | Complex or modified peptides |
| Raw HPLC/MS Data | Original chromatogram and spectrum files | Independent verification; regulatory dossiers |
Documentation Formats¶
| Format | Availability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PDF (electronic) | Standard — included with every order | Emailed with tracking number; archived on request |
| Printed (hard copy) | Included with shipment | COA and packing list inside outer packaging |
| Raw data files | On request | .D (Agilent), .RAW (Thermo), or .wiff (SCIEX) formats |
Documentation Verification¶
Every document undergoes a two-person review before shipment:
- QC Analyst generates analytical data and COA draft
- QC Reviewer verifies all values, checks batch number consistency, signs off
This verification step catches transcription errors, unit conversion mistakes, and batch number mismatches before documents reach the customer.
