The comparison I want does not seem to exist anywhere in a form I can evaluate.
I have read the arguments for each and they do not engage with each other.
So which one, and on what grounds?
Mechanically, a Janoshik report comes with a downloadable analytical trace — the HPLC chromatogram and mass spectrum — which lets you do the reading yourself.
Janoshik publishes their analytical methods in their reports, which is auditable and better than methods that are proprietary.
| Component | Typical share | Counted in purity? | Counted in content? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Target peptide | 88–94 % | Yes, as main peak | Yes |
| Related impurities | 1–3 % | Yes, as other peaks | No |
| Counter-ion (TFA or acetate) | 2–8 % | No | No |
| Residual water | 2–6 % | No | No |
| Bulking agent, if present | 0–40 % | No | No |
Content assay uses a certified reference standard and quantifies against that standard under the same method conditions as the purity analysis.
Janoshik publishes summary statistics on their website, including the number of samples tested and the range of reported values, giving you a baseline for comparison.
Worth noting that Janoshik reports are only comparable to other Janoshik reports, not to your supplier's reports or to results from other testing services.
The practical summary: submit your first lot to Janoshik and check the database for that vendor.
Aggregated, published test results and vendor ratings built from submitted batches. Methodology stated, dataset browsable, no listing fees.
Browse resultsTurnaround from sample submission to report is usually two to three weeks, which makes Janoshik practical for supplier qualification but not for lot-by-lot QC.
The purity method uses a linear gradient at a specified slope, which is published and reproducible — not a vendor-chosen method that could be optimised for a high number.
Specifically, a submitted vial must include the lot number on the vial itself, not just on the shipping box, or Janoshik will decline the sample.
Community reviews and feedback on Janoshik are consistent across multiple forums and independent sources, suggesting the service is reliable.
If your result disagrees with the supplier, Janoshik's database will tell you whether you are alone or part of a pattern.
Ask PeptideStack is a static archive. Posting is closed, but the norms are worth stating: answer the question that was asked, show your working, cite the trial or the certificate, and say plainly where the evidence runs out.
