Certificate of Analysis

Also called certificate of analysis

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is a document from a supplier reporting the results of analytical testing — typically identity (e.g. mass spectrometry) and purity (e.g. HPLC) — for a specific batch. COAs are central to the transparency goals of a research-peptide marketplace.
