DSIP testing in Canada

DSIP has a phosphorylated cousin that weighs 80 daltons more and is sold under the same four letters. Weighing the molecule is the only way to know which one is in the vial.

Nine residues, unusually acidic

The phosphate that changes everything

The phosphorylated variant

Phosphorylated DSIP carries a phosphate group on the serine, adding almost exactly 80 daltons. It is a distinct molecule, it is sold under the same name, and the two are frequently conflated in the literature as well as in the market.

Eighty daltons in 849 is nearly ten percent. That is a wide gap by analytical standards and completely invisible to anyone reading a label.

Acidic peptides behave differently

Three of the nine residues are acidic. That changes how the peptide is purified, which counterion it ends up paired with, and how much of the final powder is peptide rather than salt. Why that is a separate measurement from purity.

Nothing official to check against

No approved product, no pharmacopoeial monograph. Every claim about a DSIP vial originates with whoever sold it.

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.
