Every lot of Melanotan II is tested by Freedom Diagnostics, an independent laboratory, for purity, identity and net content before release. Endotoxin and microbial results are added where those tests are run. Here is what each test measures, how results are reviewed, and how to check them yourself.

No single method answers every question about a peptide sample. Melanotan II is tested with complementary methods so that each one covers what the others can't.
Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography separates the sample's components by hydrophobicity, and a UV detector records each as a peak. Purity is the main peak's area as a percentage of all detected peak area.
Limits: does not identify the peak, and impurities that co-elute or absorb weakly in UV can be under-counted. More on HPLC
The separated sample enters a mass spectrometer via electrospray ionization, which gives the molecule one or more charges. The observed ions, near m/z 1025 (1+) and 513 (2+), are matched against values calculated from Melanotan II's molecular weight of 1024.18.
Limits: confirms molecular weight, not amino-acid order.
The laboratory quantifies the main compound in the tested vial against a standard. It is reported in milligrams next to the labeled vial size.
Limits: measured on the vial tested; other vials from the same lot are expected to be similar but are not individually measured.
The path every lot follows from production to a published certificate.
MT2 Research Supply’s stated release specification is ≥95% HPLC-UV purity with identity confirmed by LC-MS. Current lots test at 99.90%, well above the ≥95% release specification.
Each lot carries a unique lot number (for example KB32432) printed on every vial label and on the certificate. The laboratory also assigns its own reference numbers (accession number and search code), which are listed on each lot page for cross-checking.
Certificates remain published in the archive after a lot sells through, so the documentation for any vial stays available.
Freedom Diagnostics is an independent, U.S.-based analytical testing laboratory. Its certificates for Melanotan II are signed by the laboratory's principal chemist and carry a QR code linking to the laboratory's own record.

Expected values are calculated by MT2 Research Supply from the average molecular weight (1024.18 g/mol; H+ 1.0073, Na+ 22.99, K+ 39.10). Observed values are as printed on each lot's mass confirmation panel.
Melanotan II is analyzed with complementary methods: HPLC-UV for purity, LC-MS for identity, a quantitative measurement for net content, and, where listed, LAL endotoxin and PCR microbial testing. Results are published per lot at buymt2.com/coa/.
Every lot is tested by Freedom Diagnostics, an independent third-party analytical laboratory. MT2 Research Supply does not test its own material for published certificates.
Current lots report HPLC-UV purity 99.90%, against a stated release specification of ≥95%. The most recent result is 99.90% for lot KB32432.
By liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS), performed by Freedom Diagnostics on every lot. LC-MS separates the sample and measures the mass of the main component, confirming it has the molecular weight expected for the compound.
Endotoxin and microbial testing are reported per lot. Every lot page in the COA archive states whether those tests were performed.
HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) separates a sample's components so each appears as a peak. The purity percentage is the main peak's share of all UV-detected peak area. It does not confirm identity (the separate LC-MS test does) or measure the amount of peptide in the vial (net content does).
A MT2 certificate of analysis is the testing laboratory's report for one lot: the lot number, test dates, methods and results for purity, identity and net content. MT2 Research Supply publishes every lot's COA as a readable page at buymt2.com/coa/.

Net content is the laboratory's measurement of peptide in the tested vial. Current lots measured 12.33 mg in a 10 mg vial, 12.33 mg in a 10 mg vial.
10 mg vials. Current lot KB32432 tested at 99.90% purity with identity confirmed by LC-MS. Current purchasing is available through Klow.bio.
