How researchers evaluate material before running anything

Purity claims mean nothing without a lot-specific COA showing an HPLC chromatogram, LC-MS identity and endotoxin results. PX1 publishes all three at /coa.

How PX1 documents every lot

Every PX1 lot ships with HPLC purity, LC-MS identity, residual solvent, moisture (Karl Fischer), sterility and endotoxin data. Lot documentation is published at /purity-reports, /endotoxin-reports and /coa. Synthesis, purification, lyophilization and vial fill happen in U.S. facilities — see /manufacturing-process.
