Questions about 5-Amino-1MQ
Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?
No. It is a small organic molecule (a methylated aminoquinoline), much smaller than a peptide. It is tested with the same methods: LC-MS for identity and HPLC for purity.
Why is it orange?
The lab recorded the lot's appearance as an orange powder, which is the colour this compound normally has. A powder that looks very different from the COA's description is worth asking about.
How do I read this COA?
Start with the lot number, then identity (LC-MS), purity (HPLC) and net content against their specs. Our step-by-step COA guide walks through a real report line by line.
