Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads.
My HPLC chromatogram analysis for certificates of analysis — I sent my batch to Janoshik and here's what the results showed:
Main peak retention time: 14.4 minutes (consistent with semaglutide reference standard)
Peak purity: 99.3%
Related substances: 0.7% (single impurity at 8.5 minutes — likely a synthesis intermediate)
Mass spec: m/z 4113.58 (matches expected molecular weight)
This is a clean result. The mass spec confirmation is particularly important — it proves the molecule is actually semaglutide and not a substitution.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. The useful checklist is about verifiability rather than presentation. Independent test results commissioned by buyers rather than by the seller, consistency across multiple batches over time rather than one flattering report, a physical address and a company registration that resolve, batch and lot numbers on the actual labelling, and a shipping practice that matches what the material needs. Everything a good-looking website provides is cheap to fake; none of the items above are.
Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Reconstituted peptide stability data for certificates of analysis: I had Janoshik test my reconstituted vial at day 1, day 14, and day 28 stored in the refrigerator.
Day 1: 100.5% purity
Day 14: 99.1% purity
Day 28: 98.1% purity
Minimal degradation over 28 days when properly refrigerated. This confirms the standard 28-day beyond-use date is appropriate. Beyond 28 days, I'd reconstitute a fresh vial to be safe.
