Community-verified vendors for certificates of analysis: I maintain a spreadsheet of Janoshik-verified test results submitted by community members. Across 55 submitted tests:

• 75% tested at ≥98% purity
• 18% tested at 95-98% purity
• 7% tested at <95% purity (concerning)

The vendors with consistently high purity results are listed in the Vendor Directory. We update monthly based on new community submissions.

Agreed, and mass spec answers a question purity does not: identity.

This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else. I will report back once I have actually tried it.

My vendor review relevant to certificates of analysis: ordered 3 times from my current compounder. Consistency has been excellent.

Shipping: Next-day with cold pack
Packaging: Professional, discreet, proper labeling with lot/batch numbers
Purity: 98.0% average across orders (Janoshik verified)
Customer service: Responsive within 2 hours
Price: $120/month for tirzepatide 10mg equivalent

Two reports on the same product from two laboratories, four percentage points apart, and no method stated on either.

Vendor quality matters when discussing certificates of analysis. I've tested my last 3 batches through Janoshik and purity has ranged from 97.0% to 99.0%. Consistency is key.

For anyone new: always request the COA, and consider independent verification. The $300 for a Janoshik test is worth the peace of mind.

Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful. Tagging this one for the weekly digest.
