TRACEGROVELABS
Our standard

One standard. Every lot.

We would rather show you the report than tell you the number. Here is the standard every lot is held to, and how it is checked.

  1. 01

    Independent

    Testing is done by a laboratory in the United States that is independent of TRACEGROVE LABS and of the manufacturer. A supplier’s certificate is filed, never published as proof.

  2. 02

    99%+ purity

    Our release standard. A lot is released only when the laboratory’s report meets it. The measured figure on each COA is the laboratory’s, not ours.

  3. 03

    Published first

    The original laboratory PDF goes up before release, at an address that never changes. Replaced lots stay listed; corrections are noted, never silent.

  1. 01

    Received

    Each lot arrives with the manufacturer’s certificate. We file it with the lot and never publish it as proof.

  2. 02

    Tested

    Vials from the lot go to a US laboratory independent of us and of the manufacturer: purity by HPLC, identity by mass spectrometry, content per vial.

  3. 03

    Held to the standard

    The lot is released only if the laboratory’s report shows 99%+ purity. A lot that falls short is not released.

  4. 04

    Labelled

    Every vial carries its lot number and a QR code that opens the lot lookup on this site.

  5. 05

    Published, then released

    The original report goes up at the lot’s permanent address before a single vial ships.

The science of purity

Purity, identity and content.

Purity by HPLC tells you how much of the material is the main component. Identity by mass spectrometry confirms what that component is. Content per vial is a third, separate measurement.

  1. Crude synthesis

    Straight from the reactor: the target plus related fragments.

  2. Purified

    Chromatography removes most of what is not the target.

  3. Release standard · 99%+ purity

    What the independent report must show before a lot is released.

The limits

What a COA does not say.

A certificate describes the material and methods named in that report, and nothing else.

  • Any other lot

    A report describes one tested lot. Never use a different lot’s report as evidence for your material.

  • Safety or sterility

    It is not a safety, sterility or fitness-for-purpose certification.

  • Suitability for human or veterinary use

    A report says nothing about use in people or animals. Our materials are for laboratory research only.

  • Anything beyond the original

    Our summary is a convenience. The laboratory’s original PDF controls if anything here differs.
