    33 of 112 directory vendors list Kisspeptin; 14 name their testing lab.

  4. Verify the lot before use

    1. Purgo sells it as “Kisspeptin”. Make sure the COA names the analyte, not just the store label.
    2. Match the CAS number on the certificate to 374675-21-5.
    3. A 10-residue peptide should show a mass-spec identity near 1302.4 g/mol; HPLC purity alone doesn't confirm identity.
    4. 33 of the 112 vendors in our directory list Kisspeptin; 14 of those name the lab that tests it.
