Section 1

Results

Measured against the index acceptance specification for the neuroactive and cognitive peptides class. A specification is a decision the index made; a result is a measurement. See where each threshold came from.

Section 2

Chromatogram and peak integration

The figure is drawn from the table. It is not an independent illustration — if a number in the table changed, the trace would change with it.

Figure 1. RP-HPLC trace, 25 min gradient, 214 nm. Drawn from the peak-integration table below: peak positions are the reported retention times, peak areas are the reported area percentages, peak widths follow the reported plate count of 60,477, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 1.06. Baseline noise is seeded from the report ID and is illustrative. The lower panel is the same trace at a stated vertical expansion with the slow gradient drift subtracted, because at full scale a 0.06 % impurity against a 99.90 % main peak is a line two pixels tall; the main peak runs off-scale there by design.

#	Peak	RT	Area (µV·s)	% area	Δ mass (Da)
1	N-Acetyl Semax Amide — main peak	6.35	4,855,450	99.90	—
2	N-acetyl semax free acid (+1 Da)	6.53	2,916	0.06	+0.984
3	des-acetyl amide (−42 Da)	6.02	972	0.02	-42.011
4	semax (des-acetyl, des-amide, −41 Da)	5.88	972	0.02	-41.027
Closure check — purity + Σ impurities				100.00	CLOSES

Reporting threshold 0.05 % area. Peaks below it are not reported and are therefore excluded from the total, which overstates purity by their sum — see peak integration.

Section 3

Mass spectrum and identity

Theoretical monoisotopic mass 854.3806 Da, computed from C39H54N10O10S. All ppm figures on this site are against monoisotopic values — see why that matters.

Figure 2. ESI charge-state envelope, unit-resolution instrument. Sticks are placed at m/z = (M + z × 1.007276)/z for the observed neutral mass of 854.3895 Da. Sodium (+21.982/z) and potassium (+37.956/z) adducts are shown where the parent charge state exceeds 25 % relative abundance; they are adducts of the same molecule and are not impurities.

Charge	Theoretical m/z	Observed m/z	Δ m/z	Rel. abundance (%)
2+	428.1976	428.2020	0.0044	53.2
1+	855.3879	855.3968	0.0089	100.0

Section 4

Gravimetric mass balance

Water, counter-ion, residual and total peptide content are exhaustive and mutually exclusive categories. They must account for 100 % of the cake mass. The index closes this to within 0.02 pp and the build asserts it.

Component	Determination	%w/w of cake
Water	Karl Fischer	8.24
Counter-ion (acetate)	ion chromatography	7.34
Residual solvent + inorganic residue	estimated	0.31
Total peptide content	by difference	84.11
Total		100.00 CLOSES

Supplier certificate, as declared

The supplier's own figures for this lot, beside the independent measurement. Divergence is assessed against the batch median, not against this single report — see rule AX-R05.

Figure	Supplier COA	This report	Index note
Purity (% area)	99.75	99.90	divergence -0.08 pp vs batch median
Total impurities (% area)	0.25	0.10
Largest single impurity (% area)	0.18	0.06
Water (%)	7.0	8.24
Counter-ion (%)	5.0	7.34
Peptide content (%w/w)	87.4	84.11
Endotoxin (EU/mg)	not stated	not determined
Method stated on certificate	YES	—	column, gradient and wavelength given

Provenance and caveats

Where a sample came from changes the weight of the evidence. The index treats it as a first-class field.

Sample provenance: Buyer-sourced
Evidentiary weight: Strongest available evidence in this index.
Chain of custody: Retail purchase → submitter (−20 °C, 11 d) → laboratory (courier, dry ice, 12 d) → assay.
Assay date: 23 Nov 2024
Submitted to the index: 18 Dec 2024
Laboratory: Medutest, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Method basis: 25 min gradient · unit-resolution MS
Verification status: IDENTITY CONSISTENT

What this report does not establish

That the compound is not a near-isobaric alternative. Identity was confirmed at unit mass resolution, which cannot exclude species differing by 1 or 2 Da. The specific alternatives not excluded are named in the identity block above.
That the material is free of bacterial endotoxin. Endotoxin was not measured. No chromatographic result bears on it.
That the material is sterile. Sterility was not tested.
That any other vial in the same lot has the same composition. One vial was tested. Within-lot vial-to-vial variation in this index has a median of 0.28 pp and a 90th percentile of 0.74 pp.
That any other lot from the same supplier has the same composition. Batch-to-batch variation is larger than within-batch variation for every supplier here.
That the material is suitable for administration to a human or an animal. These are research compounds. No result on this site is a safety assessment and the index takes no position on use.
That the material was manufactured by the supplier that sold it. Contract synthesis is normal in this market and twenty-nine batches in the index fingerprint to a bulk from a different company than the one named on the label.

Annotations 4

Signed technical comments from index contributors. Not a discussion forum — annotations question or contextualise the result, and the data team replies where a reply is warranted.

uncertainty_budget18 Dec 2024

99.90 % is normalised area, so it is silent on how much peptide is in the vial. Content and water are the numbers that answer that, and both are on this record. Purity is the good news; content is the actionable news.

buyer_sourced18 Dec 2024

Provenance and purity together are what make a figure like this usable. An independently purchased vial at 99.90 % is worth several supplier-selected ones.

label_claim18 Dec 2024

A retail vial is also a test of the label. Declared claim 20 mg against what the gravimetry recovers is a question only a purchased vial can answer honestly.

storage_stated18 Dec 2024

The index cannot verify that the vial assayed is representative of the lot it came from, and says so on every record. Provenance narrows that gap; it does not close it.
