Tesamorelin testing.
44-residue GRF analogue with a trans-3-hexenoyl modification.
The short answer
Tesamorelin is tested by reverse-phase HPLC (UV 214 nm): chromatographic purity plus duplicate quantification in mg per vial against a qualified commercial reference standard. Identity is assessed by retention time against the same standard, with mass-spectrometry confirmation available as an add-on. €133 per vial, 48–72 h target turnaround, and the result is published in the public database.
What the analysis measures
Purity, quantity, identity
- Chromatographic purity (%). The main peak's share of total integrated area at UV 214 nm. It is a ratio of peptide-related peaks — not a claim about absolute mass content.
- Quantity (mg/vial). Measured content against a qualified commercial reference standard, run in duplicate; both values appear on the certificate next to the label claim.
- Identity. Retention time against the reference standard. That is presumptive identity, and the certificate says so; a mass-spectrometry match (+€79 add-on) confirms it conclusively.
The complete method — column, gradient, wavelength, limits — is published on the open method page.

Worth knowing
Before you test Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin is a second-line analyte in the tariff: lower testing volume, a dedicated standard, and more method time per sample — that is what the €133 price reflects, not a different quality of analysis. The template is identical to the €99 analytes: published method, duplicate quantification, stated limits.
Price
€133 per vial, published
Tesamorelin testing is €133 at the published founder rate — see its row in the price list. Add-ons: mass-spectrometry identity confirmation +€79 (adds 5–7 days), extended CoA data +€15, additional report +€29 (at order creation), rush +50%, additional vial of the same lot −30%.
On the certificate
What the CoA shows
- Measured quantity in duplicate, next to the label claim.
- Chromatographic purity with the full impurity table, not just the headline figure.
- The identity basis, stated: retention-time (presumptive) or mass-spectral (confirmed).
- Method reference and version, so the numbers can be interrogated.
- A public database entry — every result is published, verifiable by anyone, good or bad.

FAQ
Tesamorelin testing questions
Why is tesamorelin €133 when most GH-axis peptides are €99?
It is a second-line analyte: lower sample volume, its own reference standard and more instrument time per run. The analysis itself follows the same published method and template as every €99 analyte.
How much does Tesamorelin testing cost?
€133 per vial at the published founder rate: chromatographic purity plus duplicate quantification in mg per vial, with the result published in the public database. Mass-spectrometry identity confirmation is +€79, extended CoA data +€15, and an additional report +€29 at order creation.
How long does Tesamorelin testing take?
The target turnaround is 48–72 hours from sample receipt. A rush option at +50% moves the sample to the front of the queue; the mass-spectrometry add-on adds 5–7 days.
