Research and education library
Educational research information written plainly, with citation placeholders where a source is still to be added. Nothing here is medical advice.
What peptides are: a plain-language foundation
A neutral introduction to peptide chemistry, terminology and how research materials are described in supplier documentation.
How to read a certificate of analysis
What a COA does and does not tell you, which fields matter, and how to match a report to a physical batch.
Cold chain, storage and material integrity
General laboratory principles for storing lyophilised research materials and documenting handling conditions.
HPLC and mass spectrometry in identity testing
An overview of the two analytical methods most commonly referenced in peptide batch documentation.
The women's research landscape: where evidence is thin
An honest map of the published literature relevant to women's health research topics, including the gaps.
UK compliance basics for research-material suppliers
Neutral background on the distinction between research materials, medicines and consumer products in UK terminology.
What an HPLC purity figure means (and what it does not)
A purity percentage describes chromatographic peak area under one method. It is not a statement of safety, sterility or suitability for any use.
What a batch number proves
Batch identifiers exist to link a physical unit to a specific production and testing record. Their value depends entirely on that link being verifiable.
Sterility and endotoxin testing: separate tests, separate claims
Sterility and bacterial endotoxin are distinct analyses. Neither is implied by identity or purity testing, and neither is claimed unless a report is published against the batch.
