Results

Measured against the index acceptance specification for the non-peptide adjuncts 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.

Figure 1. RP-HPLC trace, 30 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 53,032, 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 0.61 % impurity against a 98.91 % 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.

Mass spectrum and identity

Theoretical monoisotopic mass 624.2181 Da, computed from C27H36N4O5S · CH4O3S. All ppm figures on this site are against monoisotopic values — see why that matters.

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.

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 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.

charge_envelope
Identity confirmed, purity 98.91 %, mass balance closed. This record is complete against the index definition of complete and there is nothing outstanding on it.
coa_template
Nothing on this record contradicts the declaration. Purity 98.91 %, largest single impurity sulfonamide hydrolysis product (+18 Da) at 0.61 %, mass balance closed.
buyer_sourced
Independently purchased, at the submitter's own cost, forwarded without the supplier's involvement. That is the definition and this record meets it.
peak_integrator
Two laboratories with different gradients will resolve a close pair differently and report two honest, different purities. Neither is wrong and the difference is not a disagreement about the material.
