Has anyone dealt with janoshik vs in-house testing?

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads.

Mass spectrometry confirmation for certificates of analysis: beyond HPLC purity, mass spec tells you the molecule's exact molecular weight. This confirms identity — not just purity.

Why this matters: HPLC can show you a "pure" compound, but if it's pure of the WRONG compound, purity is meaningless. Mass spec at m/z 4113.58 Da confirms it's actually semaglutide. My Janoshik report includes both HPLC and mass spec.

If your testing provider only offers HPLC, consider upgrading to include mass spec for at least your first batch from a new vendor.

This answered a question I did not know how to ask. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice.

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: 14.2 minutes (consistent with semaglutide reference standard)
Peak purity: 98.3%
Related substances: 0.7% (single impurity at 8.6 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.

This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth.
