Vilon impurity profile

Every named species the index has reported alongside Vilon, how often, at what level, and what its presence implies about the synthesis or the handling. Reporting threshold is 0.05 % area; anything below it is invisible to this page and is silently added to the main peak.

free glutamic acid (−128 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.30 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-128.095 Da
Reported in
16 of 17 records (94 %)
Level when reported
median 0.05 %, max 0.82 %
How it separates
Baseline-resolved on the reference method.

free lysine (−129 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
-0.24 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-129.043 Da
Reported in
14 of 17 records (82 %)
Level when reported
median 0.08 %, max 0.52 %
How it separates
Close-eluting on the reference method, and merged with the main peak on a short gradient. The index prints the resolution figure for such a pair and applies no criterion to it — where the two are not separated, what matters is that the integration convention is stated.

diketopiperazine (−18 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
+0.10 min on RG-2
Mass difference
-18.011 Da
Reported in
14 of 17 records (82 %)
Level when reported
median 0.11 %, max 0.48 %
How it separates
Close-eluting on the reference method, and merged with the main peak on a short gradient. The index prints the resolution figure for such a pair and applies no criterion to it — where the two are not separated, what matters is that the integration convention is stated.

Lys-Glu-Lys tripeptide (+128 Da)

Retention offset from the main peak
+0.14 min on RG-2
Mass difference
+128.095 Da
Reported in
10 of 17 records (59 %)
Level when reported
median 0.16 %, max 0.74 %

Close-eluting on the reference method, and merged with the main peak on a short gradient. The index prints the resolution figure for such a pair and applies no criterion to it — where the two are not separated, what matters is that the integration convention is stated.

Degradation pathways

Degradants are a handling finding rather than a synthesis finding. A lot that shipped clean and arrived oxidised tells you about the courier, not the chemist.

  • diketopiperazine formation
  • hydrolysis to free amino acids
