CJC-1295 testing in Canada

Two different molecules are sold under this name. We confirm one of them, and we say plainly which — because a certificate that blurs the two would be worth less than no certificate at all.

One name, two molecules

“CJC-1295 without DAC” and “Mod GRF (1-29)” are the same molecule under two names, and that is what our method confirms. “CJC-1295 with DAC” is a different compound entirely, carrying a lysine-maleimide drug affinity complex the other form does not have, and it sits about 280 daltons heavier.

What we can confirm, and what we cannot

The naming problem

Vendors routinely sell one form under the other’s name, and buyers routinely order one believing it is the other. Because both are genuinely called CJC-1295 in common use, neither party is necessarily being dishonest.

The label cannot resolve this. Only the mass can.

What we can tell you, and what we cannot

Our method targets the without-DAC form at 3367.9 daltons. If that is what your vial contains, we confirm it and report purity and net peptide content as usual.

If it is not, we will tell you that the compound was not detected — but we cannot currently identify the with-DAC form for you. A negative result narrows the answer without supplying it.

If you know you have bought the with-DAC form, write to us before ordering rather than after. We would rather turn the work down than sell you a certificate that cannot answer your question.

3367.9  vs  ~3647

Without DAC against with DAC — roughly 280 daltons apart

A large, unambiguous gap, which is why the distinction is worth making at all. If you buy anything in this family it is worth knowing which one you have — not because fraud is more likely, but because the ambiguity is built into the product name.

What the largest dataset found

9.1%

of CJC-1295 samples did not contain the stated compound — the second-highest identity failure rate measured. Median purity was 98.49%, notably depressed against the 99.80% dataset median, and only 10.7% met the manufactured-drug standard, the lowest of any compound.

Mendias C, Awan T, 2026 — 6,441 grey-market samples across 14 compounds and 203 synthesis companies. Posted as a preprint; not peer reviewed. The dataset is self-selected third-party testing, so buyers who already suspected a problem are over-represented. Full findings and caveats.

What your certificate reports

  1. Identity — confirmed from precursor-to-product-ion transitions on a triple quadrupole instrument, not inferred from retention time.
  2. Purity — measured at the quantifying transition, with the method named on the report.
  3. Net peptide content — quantified against an external calibration curve and reported as its own figure, in milligrams. Why this is a different number from purity.
  4. Peak data — the chromatographic results behind each figure, printed on the certificate rather than held back.

Common questions

How much sample do you need?

One unopened vial. Detailed posting instructions arrive with your order confirmation, immediately after you pay.

Does it need to be shipped cold?

No. Lyophilised peptides travel safely at room temperature, which is how nearly all samples reach us.

Who actually performs the analysis?

An independent Ontario laboratory. Every certificate we issue names the facility that ran it — we are a testing service, not a laboratory, and we would rather say so than let you find out from the report.

What if the result comes back bad?

You get the result. We do not soften findings, and we do not charge differently depending on what the analysis shows.

Can I verify the certificate is genuine?

Yes. Every certificate carries an identifier that anyone can check against our records, including the vendor you bought from.
