Quality Assurance & Product Testing Program
Empower Peptides maintains a structured quality and testing program designed to support consistent, research-use-only peptide materials. While we are not a GMP pharmaceutical facility, we operate with ISO-aligned quality control principles, independent third-party testing, and full batch traceability from receipt to shipment.
Our Role in the Supply Chain
Empower Peptides functions as a research material distributor. We do not synthesize, compound, or alter peptide contents. All peptides arrive as fully manufactured, sealed vials from established international peptide synthesis laboratories. Our responsibilities focus on:
- Receiving and inspecting finished, sealed vials
- Assigning internal Lot/Batch numbers for traceability and testing records
- Applying external product labels for researcher clarity
- Storing materials under controlled temperature conditions
- Submitting selected lots for independent U.S. laboratory testing
- Publishing Certificates of Analysis (COAs) where available
Finished-Vial Procurement & Supplier Practices
Our peptide materials are sourced from synthesis partners that specialize in research-use-only (RUO) compounds. For each lot supplied, our partners provide:
- Fully finished, pre-vialed lyophilized peptide
- Manufacturer’s Certificate of Analysis (primary COA)
- Analytical data supporting identity and purity
- Packaging and sealing performed at the laboratory of origin
Empower Peptides reviews supplied documentation, verifies product identity against purchase records, and logs each received lot into our internal batch tracking system.
Labeling & Batch Traceability
Upon receipt into our facility, each vial is:
- Visually inspected for seal integrity and appearance
- Assigned an internal Lot/Batch number for inventory and testing traceability
- Labeled externally with:
- Product name / code
- Lot/Batch number
- Storage guidance
- “For Research Use Only” designation
ISO-Aligned Quality Control Practices
While Empower Peptides is not a GMP or ISO-certified pharmaceutical manufacturer, our internal quality controls are aligned with common ISO laboratory principles, including:
- Documented receipt and lot logging for each batch
- Controlled storage conditions for temperature-sensitive materials
- Segregation of lots pending evaluation or testing
- Standardized labeling templates for RUO peptide materials
- Centralized record-keeping for COAs and testing reports
Independent Third-Party Testing (Freedom Diagnostics)
To support transparency and quality verification, Empower Peptides utilizes Freedom Diagnostics, an independent U.S. analytical laboratory, for selected peptide lots. Depending on the compound, testing may include:
- High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) purity analysis
- Mass spectrometry (MS) identity confirmation
- Retention time comparison to reference standards
- Visual appearance, mass, and net content verification
Where available, the resulting COAs from Freedom Diagnostics are published on the Empower Peptides website and linked directly on individual product pages so that researchers can review lot-specific analytical data.
COA Program & Data Transparency
Empower Peptides maintains a centralized Product COA page where available Certificates of Analysis are organized by product and batch. This includes:
- Batch-linked COAs from Freedom Diagnostics (where testing has been performed)
- Notes on purity values, assay method, and analytical conditions, when provided
- Clarifications for blended products or tablet formulations regarding excipients
Some products or newly introduced batches may be listed as “COA pending” while testing is in progress. In such cases, materials remain designated for research use only and are managed under the same storage and handling controls.
Storage, Handling & Facility Scope
The Empower Peptides facility is used for:
- Receiving and inspecting finished, sealed vials
- Labeling vials and packaging for shipment
- Refrigerated and frozen storage of peptide inventory as appropriate
- Order fulfillment and shipping logistics
Research-Use-Only (RUO) Designation
All peptide materials and related products offered by Empower Peptides are:
- For laboratory research use only
- Not for human or veterinary use
- Not for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical application
- Not for food, cosmetic, or household use
This RUO designation is reflected on product labels, product pages, order documentation, and throughout our website.
