Results

Measured against the index acceptance specification for the growth-hormone axis peptides class. A specification is a decision the index made; a result is a measurement. See where each threshold came from.

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.

06731134622019426925 Ipamorelin4.36 min · 99.57 % 4.25 same trace · ×200 vertical expansion, baseline-corrected · main peak off-scale reporting threshold 0.05 % area 048121620 Retention time (min) Response (mAU)
Figure 1. RP-HPLC trace, 15 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 58,514, and skew follows the reported asymmetry factor of 0.87. 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 0.16 % impurity against a 99.57 % main peak is a line two pixels tall; the main peak runs off-scale there by design.

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 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.

Annotations 2

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.

sig_figs
Two decimal places on 99.57 % implies repeatability better than 0.01 pp, which no laboratory here claims. The number is sound; the printed precision is more than the method carries.
Index data team

Two decimal places are retained because the source reports carry them and truncating would discard information where a laboratory genuinely reports it. The uncertainty budget on /methods/uncertainty-budget/ is the right thing to read alongside any purity figure on this site.

hplc_ola
Nothing on this record is flagged for resolution and nothing will be. The figure exists so the reader can weight the purity number, which is its only purpose.
