What a Certificate of Analysis is — and is not
A Certificate of Analysis reports measured analytical properties of a specific manufactured lot:
chromatographic purity, mass confirmation, appearance, and quantity. That is its entire scope.
A COA is not evidence of safety, biological activity, efficacy, sterility, endotoxin
status, or fitness for any particular application. It is not a drug approval, a pharmacopoeial
certification, or a clearance for use in humans or animals. Materials supplied by Frontier Labs are not
manufactured under pharmaceutical GMP, are not sterile-filled for administration, and are not tested for
endotoxin unless expressly stated on the COA.
Research Use Only
Analytical documentation does not change the intended use of these materials. All Frontier Labs
products are supplied for in-vitro and pre-clinical laboratory research only, are not approved by the
FDA for any use, and are not for human or veterinary consumption.
Storage, stability, and shipping
Lyophilized materials are shipped at ambient temperature and are stable in transit. On receipt, store
sealed vials at -20 °C, desiccated and protected from light. Stated shelf life is 36 months from the date
of manufacture for unopened vials stored as directed.
Non-conforming material
If a delivered lot does not match its Certificate of Analysis, contact us within 7 days of delivery
with the lot number and a description of the discrepancy. Verified non-conforming material will be
replaced or refunded in full. See our
Shipping & Returns policy.
