Five independent tests. Full chromatograms published per lot. cGMP synthesis in Basel. This is what pharmaceutical-grade actually means — and why most vendors don't do it.
Most peptide vendors run a single HPLC pass and call it verified. Zenova runs five independent tests through an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory — and publishes the results, not a summary.
High-resolution mass spectrometry confirms the exact molecular identity of each peptide. Sequence verified against the reference standard.
Reversed-phase HPLC measures purity against total peak area. Zenova minimum threshold is 99% — above the 98% industry standard.
UV absorbance verifies that each vial contains the stated quantity within ±2%. You get what the label says, to the milligram.
Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay tests for bacterial endotoxin. Our limit is <0.05 EU/mg — far below the USP threshold for injectable preparations.
ICP-MS screens for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. All results must be below the ICH Q3D Guideline limits before a lot is released.
Our cGMP-certified synthesis facility in Basel operates under continuous quality monitoring. Every batch is documented from reagent intake through final lyophilization — full chain of custody for every vial you receive.
Our partnership with Eurofins Scientific — one of the world's largest and most trusted analytical testing networks — means results come from a lab with no commercial incentive to pass your product.
Every formulation in the Zenova catalogue has a published research basis. These white papers summarize the key studies, dosing data, and mechanistic rationale behind each compound class.
Our testing partners are selected specifically because they have no commercial relationship with us beyond the testing contract. They have no incentive to pass a product that shouldn't pass.
One of the world's largest analytical testing groups. Performs our HPLC-MS identity confirmation, RP-HPLC purity, UV potency, and LAL endotoxin assays. No commercial relationship beyond per-test billing.
Our ICP-MS heavy metals screening is conducted by SGS, the world's largest inspection, verification, testing, and certification company. Screens for Pb, As, Cd, and Hg against ICH Q3D limits.
Select lots intended for Canadian research distribution undergo additional sterility testing via Charles River. Brings Health Canada-aligned standards to our North American fulfilment stream.
A monthly dispatch on protocol design, new research, and the occasional behind-the-scenes from our Basel facility. No marketing — just what we'd actually want to read.
