TFC — third-party testing record
The third-party reports the Institute examined, what each determined, and the provenance of each sample.
The Institute assesses documentation, not product. It has purchased nothing, tested nothing and inspected nothing. Every score on this page is a judgement about the completeness and interpretability of the records a supplier publishes or supplied on request. A high score means that a supplier documents its material well. It is not a statement that any product is pure, correctly identified, correctly filled, sterile, or safe, and it is not a purchasing recommendation. The Institute makes no purchasing recommendations.
§3Third-party testing record
The Institute records the third-party reports it has been able to obtain for this supplier, what each determined, and what each left undetermined. It has commissioned none of these reports and has not verified that the material tested is representative of the material supplied. Where a report was supplied by the supplier rather than obtained independently, the sample was chosen by the party being assessed, which is recorded at §3.2.
§3.1Reports examined
Table 1. Third-party analytical reports examined for TFC, with the determinations each carried. Empty cells record a determination that was not made or not reported, not a failure.

| 21 reports examined. 21 carry a peptide-content determination, which is what allows a mass balance to be formed and the delivered peptide mass to be worked out from the fill. Purity figures are area percentages and are comparable only against the method that produced them, which is why the identity-method column is printed beside them. | |||||||
§3.2Provenance of the tested samples
Table 2. Provenance of the samples underlying the reports above. Sample provenance determines what a report can support.
| Provenance | Reports | What it supports |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier-selected | 15 | The supplier chose which material to submit. A favourable result establishes that the supplier can produce material of that quality, and not that a given order will be of that quality. |
| Independently purchased | 4 | The stronger class of evidence. Establishes what an ordinary purchaser received on one occasion. |
| Provenance not recorded | 2 | Cannot be placed in either class, and the Institute treats it as the weaker. |
| Provenance counts are the Institute’s classification of the reports it examined and are not published figures of any supplier. | ||
§3.3Obtaining the report for a specific batch
None of the reports above concerns the vial in front of a particular reader. The report that does is the one carrying that vial’s batch number, and it is obtained from the supplier by quoting the number. TFC publishes its current reports and the route for requesting a batch record at its own address.
