How to Read a 5-Amino-1MQ Certificate of Analysis (COA)
A Certificate of Analysis is only useful if you know which number on it matters for the compound in front of you. For 5-Amino-1MQ, the informative checks are not the same as for a generic short peptide.
Overview
The report should confirm identity by weight (around 159) and show a clean purity trace. There is no peptide-versus-salt weight quirk here.
What 5-Amino-1MQ actually is
A small molecule — not a peptide — studied for switching off an enzyme called NNMT that sits between how fat cells burn energy and how cells recycle NAD+. It is one of the most-searched names in metabolism and body-composition research.
Supplied for laboratory research use only — not for human or animal use.
Third-party tested by HPLC and LC-MS, ≥99% purity, with a Certificate of Analysis on every order. Ships across Canada.

Assays that are informative for 5-Amino-1MQ
What to check on the COA
Confirm identity by molecular ion (the cation is near 159 Da) and purity by RP-HPLC. Because it is not a peptide, the acetate-salt / net-peptide-content distinction does not apply, but the counterion and any residual synthesis solvents are worth noting on the COA.
Synthesis-related quinolinium byproducts and unreacted precursor, resolved on RP-HPLC.

What 5-Amino-1MQ is studied for
The defining mechanism — preclinical work has examined how blocking NNMT shifts methylation flux and NAD+ salvage in metabolic tissue models.
Studied in fat-cell models for effects on cellular energy handling and lipid metabolism.
Because NNMT consumes a methyl group tied to the NAD+ precursor pool, it is studied alongside the wider NAD+ research field.
