Reading a Retatrutide COA, Line by Line

Updated By: Mindful Research Team2 min read

Key takeaways

  • A retatrutide COA documents identity, purity, and the methods used.
  • Identity: name, sequence, formula, CAS, and a molecular weight matching the expected value.
  • Purity: a percentage with its method (typically HPLC) named.
  • Strongest COA is batch-specific and dated, not generic.
  • For in vitro research use only.

A retatrutide Certificate of Analysis documents the batch’s identity, purity, and the methods used to measure them — reading it confirms you have the right molecule at a known purity. This guide walks through each field for retatrutide (RT-GLP3).

Identity fields

Product name, sequence, molecular formula, and CAS number (where applicable) identify the compound. The measured molecular weight should match the theoretical value for retatrutide.

Purity and method

Purity is reported as a percentage and should name the method (typically HPLC) and conditions. A purity figure without a method is weaker evidence.

Mass spectrometry result

The COA lists the observed mass next to the expected mass. A close match confirms the material is retatrutide.

Batch-specific vs generic

The strongest COA is tied to the lot you received, with dated test data — not a generic specification sheet. Source retatrutide (RT-GLP3) with a batch COA. For the same checks applied to material sold under the "GLP-3 RT" label, see Sourcing GLP-3 RT as a Research Material.

How do I confirm identity on it?

Check that the measured molecular weight matches the expected value for retatrutide.

What makes a COA trustworthy?

Being batch-specific and dated rather than a generic spec.
