Test your cagrilintide
Send one cagrilintide vial and get a record anyone can verify: whether it is really cagrilintide, how pure it is, and how many milligrams are in it against the label.
What is tested
Identity, purity and amount
Price confirmed at launch
- Identity: is the molecule in the vial the one on the label
- Purity: HPLC peak area percentage
- Amount: measured milligrams against the label claim
Turnaround: Confirmed when the partner lab is signed
Identity, purity, amount and endotoxin
Price confirmed at launch
- Everything in the standard package
- Bacterial endotoxin by LAL assay
Turnaround: Confirmed when the partner lab is signed
Endotoxin only
Price confirmed at launch
- Bacterial endotoxin by LAL assay
- Does not establish identity, purity or amount
Turnaround: Confirmed when the partner lab is signed
Method
- Identity
- Mass spectrometry, looking for a molecular weight of about 4,409 g/mol.
- Purity
- HPLC with UV detection, reported as the main peak's share of total peak area.
- Amount

Full methodsCagrilintide: identity card and what usually goes wrong
Sample requirements
- One sealed, unopened vial, with its label intact. Opened vials cannot be tested because the contents may have changed.
- A clear photo of the label and batch code before you send it.
- Any label amount can be tested.
- Tell us where you bought it. The vendor name stays private unless you choose a public record.
What a cagrilintide test often catches
- Amylin's tendency to form fibrils.
- The Cys2 to Cys7 bridge and cysteine racemisation.
- Five asparagines that can deamidate.
- Counter-ions counted as peptide.
