Mass spectrometry confirmation for certificates of analysis: beyond HPLC purity, mass spec tells you the molecule's exact molecular weight. This confirms identity — not just purity.
Why this matters: HPLC can show you a "pure" compound, but if it's pure of the WRONG compound, purity is meaningless. Mass spec at m/z 4113.58 Da confirms it's actually semaglutide. My Janoshik report includes both HPLC and mass spec.
If your testing provider only offers HPLC, consider upgrading to include mass spec for at least your first batch from a new vendor.
Dr.RenalNash said:Agreed, and mass spec answers a question purity does not: identity.
That reframing is the part I needed. I will report back once I have actually tried it.

Community-verified vendors for certificates of analysis: I maintain a spreadsheet of Janoshik-verified test results submitted by community members. Across 53 submitted tests:
- 78% tested at ≥98% purity
- 15% tested at 95-98% purity
- 7% tested at <95% purity (concerning)
The vendors with consistently high purity results are listed in the Vendor Directory. We update monthly based on new community submissions.
